2) Her being in the studio doesn't mean anything. In Hawaii maybe they were just doing some mixing/mastering, finalizing a song, etc. And what Diplo said was not clear, we don't even know if he was joking around or not.
3) If she wasn't satisfied with the material she could've cancelled the release of AO, kept "James Joint" for herself, and simply give up on the whole album to re-record it. But instead they're doing this BBHMM & AO takeover thing and booking SNL.

1) "Excited about the album" could mean a million things. I took it to mean that she knows what sound she wants and is excited about what she's recorded. Nothing about that quote indicates that the album is actually
finished...
2) Why would she fly Kuk out for simple mastering? Why couldn't it wait until after she got back to the US? It just seems silly to deny that she's spending a considerable amount of time in the studio when we've heard so from multiple sources. Like, clearly Diplo said this recently if he was talking about the success of Lean On. And we know the Def Jam A&R guy was still looking for songs. And she was in the studio with Travis Scott what, a month ago? Even if it was "just mastering" the album isn't done yet
3) I didn't say she wasn't satisfied with anything. I think she knows what she wants to do with this album but hasn't finished it yet. If she was really being secretive she would've given us nothing after FFS. I think she's excited to share things with us, hence why we already have so much from the album.
I mean, I'm not saying this to be negative or mean or whatever. I'm just trying to make sense of what's going on. She could easily prove me wrong but
