Most likely due to plenty of things happening behind the scenes that we don't see, which would be natural. If it were just the album, you'd think Kanye wouldn't really be so worried about it, and yet...
But then again, he's been dealing with his mental illness for the past few years (or possibly even way longer than that, since he never came out and said anything until recently), so that might be a factor.
Really, all Kanye would have to do is put out an amazing album and all of the Drake stuff gets forgotten. As much as people tried to cancel him, we all know how this works.
