Schoolboy Q Admits to Trolling Everybody With Crying Jordan and Trump Album Covers

This week, we were very amused to see that Schoolboy Q had decided to put the infamous Crying Jordan meme and Donald Trump on alternate covers for his new album, Blank Face. Alas, the whole thing was a farce: In an interview with TMZ, Q said he was just messing around by tweeting the covers out. “The fact that people actually think that I would use that as my album covers is funny,” he said. “So I just actually trolled the people because soon as I put it up on my Twitter, everyone just said ‘Schoolboy Q’s album cover, Schoolboy Q’s artwork,’ but they defeated the purpose of what I was doing. I have a concept behind it.” He also said he had a “series of covers” he was meaning to tweet after dropping the Trump cover, but because “people are so quick to jump on things” he didn’t get a chance to post the new photos. [Editor's note: Sorry, Q] He also said he was interested in actually clearing the Jordan cover, but that it never got past early talks. Toward the end of the interview, he showed the actual Blank Face cover, which does not feature either Jordan or Trump. But it does in our hearts. Later, he tweeted out the official cover, which you can see below.
