In the ever-evolving saga of Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s collaborative album, “Vultures,” the rollercoaster ride continues as the anticipated release faces yet another delay, much to the frustration of eager fans.
Originally slated for a December 15 debut, the joint project by the hip-hop duo (known as ¥$) has now been pushed back to January 12, 2024, as confirmed by representatives for Kanye West.
The latest shift in the release date comes on the heels of a previous adjustment, with West initially aiming for a December 31 launch. The reasons behind these delays remain undisclosed, leaving fans speculating and expressing their discontent for an entirely different reason.
Some fans point to the recent release of Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday 2” as a potential factor contributing to the setback. The speculation arises from a publicized disagreement between Ye and Minaj, where she denied permission for her verse on the song “New Body,” leading to tensions between the artists.
Minaj addressed the situation during an Instagram Live session, stating, “Now regarding Kanye… that train has left the station, okay?” She highlighted the impracticality of releasing a song that has been around for years, especially considering her recent album drop.
Ye, not one to stay silent, responded during a listening party for “Vultures,” expressing his confusion about Minaj’s decision and referencing their past collaborations. This public exchange added fuel to the already simmering controversy surrounding the album.
Adding another layer of intrigue, Kanye West stirred the pot further by donning a Ku Klux Klan-style hood during a listening event in Miami. This move, coupled with previous controversies and Ye’s history of making contentious statements, intensified the spotlight on “Vultures.”
Despite the drama and occasional sparks, fans on various platforms, including X, voiced their disappointment at having to endure yet another delay for the album they’ve been eagerly awaiting.
As the anticipation builds and tensions linger, the fate of “Vultures” remains uncertain, with fans left to ponder the reasons behind the persistent postponements. Only time will tell if the controversial album will live up to expectations, or if it will continue to be shrouded in delays and publicized discord.
