Lily Allen will call her new album 'Sheezus' as a tribute to Kanye West.
The 'Air Balloon' singer insisted the name of the record - a parody of the rapper's latest album 'Yeezus' - isn't intended as a joke as his expense, instead describing it as a sign of ''respect''.
She told The Sun newspaper: ''With all my albums, I've just wanted to have a laugh. But yes, 'Sheezus', it's bold. But it's not taking the p**s out of Kanye at all.
''I've got nothing but respect for him. I love him ... So it is a little homage to him. I hope he doesn't think it's a diss. I'd be horrified if he thought that.''
The 28-year-old star also explained while Kanye is outspoken and controversial, he actually ''makes total sense''.
She said: ''I know people think he's crazy but most of what he says I think makes total sense. I mean there are a few exceptions but on the whole.
''He is one of the only people who says what he believes and people call him mad for it.''
