Kanye West fans might be in for a disappointment. Just a few short days after Ye’s ‘Vultures 1’ made its way onto music streaming platforms, the album might end up being taken down. While the rapper had trouble finding a distributor last year, fans thought those problems had been resolved once the album went live online. However, that does not seem to have been the case.

Less than a week after the 46-year-old’s album made its way online, a business-to-business tech and distribution platform for labels announced their plans to get the rapper’s highly anticipated project with Ty Dolla $ign removed.

According to reports for Billboard Magazine, a distribution company called FUGA is trying to remove Kanye West’s ‘Vultures 1’ album. The plans to remove the project came as a spokesperson claimed that they had already “declined” to pick up the project. He added that a client had violated the distributor’s service agreement by delivering the project “through the platform’s automated processes.”

Now, the company has decided to work with its “DSP partners” and the unnamed “client” to scrub the album from their systems. While the taking down of the new album might send fans reeling, it also casts doubt on the future of Ye’s remaining ‘Vultures’ parts. After all, with the first part running into multiple delays only to be removed, there is no saying what could happen to the rest of the promised project.
