Anyone expecting a Christmas present from Kanye West will have to be patient - the rapper is finishing his album and does not want to be disturbed.

West, 38, took to Twitter to tell his 16 million followers that he is trying to complete the much anticipated album and next fashion line so needs no distractions.

He posted: "I'm finishing my album and my next collection...

"No offense to anyone... I'm asking everyone DON'T ASK ME FOR ANYTHING TILL AFTER I'M FINISHED WITH MY ALBUM."

The All Day rapper told Big Boy that SWISH - the follow up to his 2013 album Yeezus - is getting better each week.

"I don't wanna overly describe it or overly try to hype it up," he told the radio host. "I've been working slow.

"It's like a sonic painting, and it gets better and better every week."

The artist is also working on his new fashion collection just months after showing his Yeezy Season 2 line at New York Fashion Week.

West is no doubt busy having only welcomed his son last Saturday.

His wife Kim Kardashian announced the news on her website before revealing his name to be Saint West.
