There were reports that the 47-year-old rapper's latest album's tracks appear to be in response to lines from his wife's 2016 smash hit record "Lemonade", which was about love, infidelity and forgiveness.

She came by (the recording studio) a lot and played a good part in helping us get over hurdles on certain records. Of course she's genius-level with that," Wilson told The New York Times.
"We never directly spoke about (Lemonade). Mainly because if he talks about himself, it's going to bleed into that regardless. But there's a difference in talking about it for the sake of response and for the sake of honesty and the truth.
"The truth needs to explain why you are the way you are, why you did what you did. We know what happened. We got it.
