Kanye West executive producing Rihanna album + details on song conception...

During a red carpet interview on 'E! News,' Kanye West confirms he is executive producing Rihanna’s eighth studio album. He also revealed to Ryan Seacrest that the first single, 'FourFiveSeconds,' was originally recorded for his album, but Rihanna poached it the moment she heard it. You hear that story a lot when it comes to Rihanna. 
He says he is not quite sure when her album will be released. I kind of find that hard to believe since he's the executive producer. Most executive producers are already privy to a time frame in which the label wants the album to be released. The album is his baby so of course he's going to do whatever it takes to stop certain details from leaking prematurely. I'm still excited for her album despite that first single.

Thoughts?
