The rapper tweets a second cover, which looks very similar to the first one, while Shkreli offers him $10 million to prevent the album from being released for public.

AceShowbiz - First he had difficulty deciding on a name for the album, now Kanye West also has difficulty picking the official cover. The rapper shared via Twitter earlier on Thursday, February 11 an artwork designed by Peter De Potter only to tweet "another cover" later in the day.
Both covers look very similar. The title, "The Life of Pablo", is written in black letters against a cream background. The latest cover, however, features additional picture of a girl's butt.

As promised, the album was debuted during the Yeezy 3 fashion show on February 11, but it's yet to be released commercially. The wait for the "Yeezus" follow-up, in fact, may be longer as one of America's most hated people Martin Shkreli is planning to buy the record all for himself.
The former pharmaceutical CEO, who previously shelled out around $2 million for Wu-Tang Clan's one-of-a-kind album, has offered West $10 million so he won't release "T.L.O.P." for public.

Shkreli said that West and his label, Def Jam Recordings, were legally required to take his offer to the company's board of directors, hoping that this would delay Friday's scheduled release "by a few days."
Kanye and his label are legally required to take my offer letter to their Board of Directors. This should delay the album by a few days.
