I choose option #2. Supposedly this person fears retaliation. However, we're told this individual was employed by Ye around 2018 (to know about the supposed album name plans), and left after a harassment lawsuit. I doubt there are that many people who fit that criteria, so retaliation should be quite possible just from Ye's employment records and the info in the article.
