Following the meticulous reenactment of hold-offs, suppositions, and suspense, the musical comeback courtesy of Kanye West is also treading familiar ground in terms of social media frenzy. For ‘Vultures 1’, it came with his impromptu retreat on social radar, but for ‘Vultures 2’, Ye seems to lean on a social revamp for now. All this speculation arises from the recent events after Ye archived all his Instagram posts except one featuring Bianca Censori, followed by a change in his profile picture to an all-white image to align a whitish visual palette.

Shortly after the successive delays of 'Vultures 2', insider Saint Leon stepped in to offer fans a glimmer of hope with a speculative debut date hinting at the Phoenix listening party. Just as fans were processing this unexpected revelation, West made a significant change to his Instagram feed by updating his profile picture to a plain white image and archiving all previous posts. However, he made an exception for one featuring Censori, where she is seen swiping through her phone while lying on a white bed adorned in an all-white outfit.

The aerial perspective of this post, combined with the white profile picture, creates a unified white aesthetic across his feed. Since the color palette is far from the ghoulish aesthetic of ‘Vultures 1’, the rumor mill swings unanimously towards the anticipation for ‘Vultures 2’, its potentially themed color scheme, and Ye’s possible advancing to the “NEW ERA”.

For fans, while this is a reason to lose their minds, its natural cues for ‘Vultures 2’s’ arrival make the frenzy hard to tame. 

Fans of Kanye West have their composure intact even with the tedious dilly-dallying of ‘Vultures 1&2’. The reason behind this is that despite the album's absence, there are numerous clues suggesting that something is in the works. Previously, numerous artists have overhauled their social media profiles to create anticipation for an exciting debut. With West possibly following suit, fans interpret these clues as a subtle 'confirmation'.

For some fans, it probably seems like the “end of an era” while for others it is a warm welcome for ‘Vultures 2’. But besides that, some enthusiasts think this is a tip for ‘Donda 2’.

Other supporters also mobbed the thread with calculations to break the math for ‘Vultures 2’ arrival, but due to their heavy leaning on speculations, the math was not all convincing. Some supporters even had the conviction that Ye is probably only playing around with the drop until the final date arrives. Although none of this takes a clear nod at present, the most plausible assumption to make is that West is moving towards a revamp epoch.
