Tonight, Kanye West tweeted a cover of Rolling Stone (below), which he said was shot by Tyler, the Creator. The caption on the cover: “Does He Like Mustard?” Unfortunately, Rolling Stone have confirmed that it’s a fake.

While we love Kanye, and have many mustard-related questions for him, this is not an actual cover of Rolling Stone https://t.co/2c3ZWpaorN

Update (02/03, 8:05 p.m.): Now that it’s been revealed as a hoax, Kanye is hosting a poll on Twitter to see if people should think that should be the real cover. He also used the hashtag “#trollingstone.”
I bet you this still becomes the cover though… Let’s do another poll….. #trollingstone

Update (02/03, 9:41 p.m.): Kanye took issue with references to his and Tyler’s magazine cover as a “fake.”
@billboard … it’s not a fake cover… you seen it didn’t you… you know we shot it didn’t you…

Aye Billboard you could use the term “unauthorized” but never refer to anything that me and Tyler do as fake out of respect to musicians…
