Kanye West is on a mission to stir up controversy once again ... this time with this provocative cover of his latest album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Retail giant Walmart has banned the cover showing a nude woman with wings straddling what appears to be a monster-version of Kanye. After learning Walmart's reaction to the cover art, the rapper tweeted:

    "Yooooo they banned my album cover! They don’t want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix! So Nirvana can have a naked human being on they cover but I can't have a PAINTING of a monster with no arms and a polka dot tail and wings."


While the Stronger singer has depicted his naked form on the CD cover, ironically real-life nude pics of Kanye have been floating around the internet.

As for the controversial image, sources within Def Jam Records confirm to X17online that the label tried to sway Kanye's mind when it came to using this image. Despite their wishes, Mr. West ultimately had the final say.
