Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s album ‘Vultures’ is proving to be a real slippery fish in terms of its release date. Despite the duo drumming up excitement since August 2023, the much-anticipated album has been continuously dodging its scheduled debut. Initially teased for an imminent drop, the project has faced its fair share of hiccups. The latest word on the street was a potential release in late January. And just when fans thought they had it all figured out, West’s representative told Forbes it is all happening on February 9. 

Fans were left hanging, wondering when the album would finally hit the airwaves. Luckily, Ty Dolla $ign took the mic to clear the air of uncertainty and wipe away the confusion. 

Ty Dolla $ign set the records straight for Vultures release

Ty Dolla $ign made a special appearance at Balad Beast, a music festival set in the historic Al-Balad area of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. From the stage, $ign declared, “You know we’re about to unleash the new album ‘Vultures’ real soon”. The crowd erupted in cheers as the rapper confirmed the upcoming album. As of now, only the album’s lead single has dropped, titled ‘Vultures’, featuring Lil Durk and Bump J. 

It recently made its mark on the Billboard chart, securing the No. 8 spot on Billboard’s Bubbling Under 100. This made ‘Vultures’ the 108th most popular song nationwide. However, there are still reportedly 17 more tracks to be unveiled. The listening party treated fans to teasers from other big names like Future, Young Thug, Playboi Carti, Chris Brown, and Quavo, and his daughter, North West’s debut. However, even before the release of the album, Kanye West may release his second apology. 

The 24-time Grammy winner has recently gained more attention for controversies than his music, leaving a trail of hurt sentiments. To mend this situation, the 46-year-old is said to be in the process of issuing another apology, following a brief one posted on Instagram last month.

Kanye West could be dropping a lengthy apology 

TMZ recently reported, according to their sources, Kanye West had filmed a 40-minute-long apology video several weeks ago. He even organized a crew for the filming process. Additionally, the report noted instances where he appeared to be “rambling” incoherently, indicating that the final video might be shorter than the original 40-minute duration. It is rumored that he plans to release this video just before his upcoming album, ‘Vultures,’ hits the shelves.

Last month, Kanye West dropped his first heartfelt apology in Hebrew to the Jewish community, owning up to his past antisemitic remarks. Right after, Ty Dolla $ign chimed in and shared that post from Ye’s handle on his own story to show support for his friend’s apology. And now, $ign’s doubling down on his support, settling any unrest among Kanye West’s fans with his confirmation.
