Kanye West, now known as Ye, made a triumphant return to the music industry with his ‘Vultures’ era, sparking widespread enthusiasm among fans and critics alike. However, his full artistic potential was somewhat overshadowed by controversy surrounding AI-generated contributions to the tracklist.

The lingering AI debacle has raised questions about authenticity and creative control.

Will Ye regain momentum with ‘Bully’, or will these issues persist, tarnishing his artistic vision? Here's the current scenario.

Ye's ‘BEAUTY AND THE BEAST’ track from the upcoming album ‘Bully’ vanished from Apple Music, sparking outrage among fans. The song was available for purchase at $2.17 (€1.89) just hours before its sudden removal. The previous day, Ye had released the track's music video on the platform, fueling anticipation. However, allegations of AI usage in the track surfaced earlier today, casting uncertainty.

Fans took to X to express dismay, sharing screenshots of the song's disappearance. Ye's sources on the platform posted conversations with music insiders, confirming AI-generated content in ‘Bully’. Promises of updated versions featuring Ye's vocals have done little to quell frustration. As of now, the original music remains unavailable, leaving fans disappointed and ‘BEAUTY AND THE BEAST’ lost.

An anonymous source cited by Ye Scoop Shop GoodAssSub revealed that producers working with Ye on ‘Bully’ attempted to caution him against using AI-generated content, but feared termination. The insider hinted at more revelations to come, stating, "Ye and Eric are not done here." The source is verifying information to name-drop specific producers involved. These producers allegedly contributed to tracks ‘River’ and ‘Slide’, said the source.

Additional details about Ye's ‘Vultures’ project were also disclosed. The source's claims suggest internal tensions and creative disagreements within Ye's team. However, the update also promises to bring in some good news for frustrated fans, hopefully in the near future. The rapper was recently spotted in his escape haven, Tokyo, with wife Bianca Censori amidst divorce rumors, and his cousin Tony Williams and Che Pope.
