Fans have been wondering if the baby pictured on Drake's new album cover is Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of singer Beyonce and rapper Jay-Z. Today, it has been reported that the baby is not Blue Ivy.

Drake-lovers took to Twitter to express their excitement and confusion over Blue Ivy's cameo appearance on Drake's album, Nothing Was the Same. On the album cover, Drake is shown looking at a child with an afro while the child stares back at the rapper.

"Drake put Blue Ivy Carter on his new album art #notmad," one fan said via Twitter.

"Why is Blue Ivy on Drake's album cover?" another fan wrote on Twitter.

According to Drake, 26, the album does not feature baby Blue Ivy Carter on its cover.

"It's a child version of myself staring at myself now," Drake said during an interview with MTV. "Sometimes when I try and think back on this journey, it's so hard to pinpoint all of these moments and it gets foggy. What that album art is to me is, like, 'This is my most clean, concise thoughts from now, and my best recollection of then.' That's really what that cover's about."

On the album cover, the child version of Drake wears an afro pick in his large hair.

"Even on past albums when I've been trying to tell this story, I've got there, but maybe not got there all the way," Drake said.

Drake's album cover was created by an artist named Kadir Nelson.

 Nothing Was the Same will be Drake's third studio album and will be released Sept. 17.

"It's a huge change in tone," 40, a producer said about the upcoming album in an interview with The Rolling Stone. "Before, Drake was a nice guy. Here, he's stepping up the attitude and playing hardball."

The album will feature a tracked called "Paris Morton Music II," a sequel to Drake's re-make of "Ashton Martin Music" by Rick Ross.

"That track excites me from a rap standpoint, just getting off bars and different flows," Drake said. "I played it for J. Cole, on some rap buddy-buddy shit, and he was like, 'Damn.'"
