In other tweets, later deleted, West appealed directly to Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, to contact him at his ranch in Wyoming. He later tweeted that his new album, DONDA, would be released on Friday. West referenced Get Out, a horror film about race relations, in a few of the tweets: "Everybody knows the movie get out is about me."
