In this Waves promotion cycle, Kanye West has been doing a lot of work inside of the studio, as well as some work outside the booth too.
On Wednesday night, Kanye tweeted an image of himself mocked up to be a Rolling Stone cover and said, "ROLLING STONE SHOT BY TYLER THE CREATOR." According to a tweet from Rolling Stone, the cover is not real: "While we love Kanye, and have many mustard-related questions for him, this is not an actual cover of Rolling Stone."
A rep for Kanye West did not immediately return a request for comment.

Kanye has tweeted that while his Rolling Stone cover is a fake, it still could be a real cover. He's also set up a Twitter poll asking his followers to vote on whether or not Rolling Stone should print it. Maybe a Marvel-style variant on next month's print edition?
Update, 2/4/16, 5:30 a.m.: Kanye takes issue with the term "fake," Tyler responds

Aye Billboard you could use the term “unauthorized" but never refer to anything that me and Tyler do as fake out of respect to musicians…
