Kanye shared (and rapidly unshared) parts of two new songs today. The tracks featured contributions from Ty Dolla $ign and Kendrick Lamar, and Kanye fans are predictably fired up by the new release—especially after his last track, "Facts," arrived on New Year's Eve but sank pretty quickly and required the rapper to make a public statement that he was not upset at Lebron James.

its okay tho y'all wanted to hate on Yeezus but SWISH is gonna knock you off your ass on that road to Damascus and I cant wait

But there is also a vocal faction of Twitter users linking Kanye's release of new material to the recent capture of El Chapo, the famous Mexican drug-lord. Take un momento to browse the best of the conspiracy theories below.

Kanye releases a song then takes it back after El Chapo escapes to give him a supportive shout-out.
