The tide of anxiousness amidst the Ye fandom has risen again. After months of lobbying and rumors, Kanye West previewed ‘Vultures’ at the 12th December Miami rave and, after further delays, announced its final drop dates just a few days ago. Among the brightest signs of a remarkable comeback by the rapper stood his social media posts, most notably Instagram, which lay adorned with photos of his wife, Bianca Censori, and trailer teases for the album drop. Except that, all of it has now gone to dust, again.

With just a little more than a week remaining for the announced drop of the Ty Dolla $ign collaboration, disappointing speculations have taken shape, fueled by Ye, himself.

Kanye West goes blank on Instagram just ahead of Vultures

At the break of dawn, the Instagram handle of Kanye West went completely blank. All of his posts, including the flood of Bianca Censori images and the recently uploaded ‘Vultures’ trailer, stood deleted. Moreover, he also unfollowed any and everyone. The inexplicable action caused a wave of guesses on social media, with many questioning the rationale behind the move with the scales heavily tipping in favor of another possible delay of his album drop.

Several claims put forth the notion that the deletion may have just come as a part of Kanye West tidying up his profile for the ‘Vultures’ rollout. However, Ye had just made a social media comeback and thus, had already lined his feed up for the album, hence wiping it again made no sense. Moreover, his recent following of the Paris Texas band also confirmed their involvement, but now remains entirely up to debate.

Regardless, a saving light for the fandom came in the form of Ty Dolla $ign.

Ty Dolla $ign’s feed stands polar opposite of Ye

The horror of Kanye West delaying his promised three-volume ‘Vultures’ drop yet again stood visible on fans’ faces. However, fears receded somewhat when Ty Dolla $ign’s Instagram remained intact and carried all the announced trailers, promotions, and, most importantly, release dates. While the reason behind West’s move lay undetailed, there could be one small clue left behind.

The sole remaining Kanye West media on his Instagram page came as a story posted about 19 hours ago on JPEGMAFIA. The re-shared posts contained the latter’s statement on his involvement with Ye. Calling him his “favorite artist of all time,” JPEGMAFIA’s love for the ‘Flashing Lights’ singer as well as his stance on major questions remain the only clue to help fans decode the reason behind West’s move.
