WEST WORRIED ABOUT 9/11 ALBUM RELEASE

KANYE WEST worried about releasing his new album on the sixth anniversary of 9/11 because he didn't want to upset families in mourning.

Kanye West at the GQ Awards held at the Royal Opera House. London, England - 04.09.07

The rapper brought the release of Graduation forward so he could stage a chart face-to-face with 50 Cent, and it was only after his decision that he realised what date the album would come out.

He says, "I was a little worried about that day, because I didn't want to be offensive to anyone, to act like I was neglecting that (anniversary).

"But people also want to celebrate and have a good time and have something to uplift their spirits. And I believe that my music is inspirational, so it's a perfect album to come out on a day like that."
