Two defining traits that elevate a craftsman to a true artist are persistence and resilience; yet for Ye (formerly Kanye West), unpredictability overshadows them all. While fans wait endlessly for his unfinished ‘Vultures’ series and the highly anticipated solo project, ‘Bully,’ the Atlanta rapper has found himself ensnared in a web of legal battles, each lawsuit stealing the spotlight from the one before. Though the prospect of Ye’s feature on his latest production still kept the fans awake, it now seems increasingly unlikely as its latest leak suggests.

With no sign of the ‘Vultures’ creator on the scene, his rumored feature and long-awaited works may remain as unresolved as ever.

‘Alpha Omega,’ an unreleased song by Ye and Skepta, created amidst the recording sessions for ‘Bully,’ is the first song by the Atlanta rapper for his 11th studio album since mid-2023. It remains unclear if the track was intended for any of his ‘Vultures’ volumes, but the song was leaked periodically from August 13 to September 14. Although the music video and the official track are slated to drop this Friday, a 2-minute snippet was leaked but Ye's speculated feature was nowhere to be found.

After YeFanatics shared a second-long clip, they speculated the ‘Vultures’ rapper would be on it. But GoodAssSub took to X to confirm that despite the exposure of 2 minutes from ‘Alpha Omega,’ Ye was not on the feature. Even though the previous track leaks featured Ye in the verses, convincing his fans it was his production, his absence in the leaked videos has sparked a little disappointment.

For his fans, the letdown was not exactly a curveball since Mr. Unpredictable has become a bit too predictable for the Ye experts.

Call him misunderstood or unpredictable, it is all part of the Ye paradox. Being his fan is not a stroll in the park but they have mastered the art of keeping up. So, when Ye was a no-show for Skepta’s ‘Alpha Omega’ leaked music video, there were no dropped jaws. Instead, a few resigned sighs made up for the guesses that they saw it coming already.

While Ye and Skepta have rocked with collaborations this year, the upcoming prospect surely had many fans on their toes.

Even though playing MIA is in Ye’s nature, disappointment and frustration are two elements that never find the fans at the crossroads. Considering they have kept up with his incomplete ‘Vultures’ series and still have their eyes on ‘Bully,’ it is enough of a testimony that his fans know him all too well now for being caught off guard.
