After reigning supreme the query trends in past months, Ye (formerly Kanye West) has surprisingly landed on the wrong side of X’s search engine results, courtesy of yet another no-show of his tie-up album, ‘Vultures 2’ with Ty Dolla $ign. For the longest time, the X trends delved into the urges of fans demanding ‘Vultures 2’. However, after the significant shift of the landscape from initial enthusiasm to disappointment, fans now made another transit. This time, the hopscotch has jumped ship from frustration to fun.

Initially, Ye's album 'Vultures 2' was set to be released on March 8. However, it did not come out as planned. However, during a recent appearance on Justin LaBoy's The Download podcast, the Atlanta rapper assured fans that the album would drop on the rescheduled date of May 3. Despite their dwindling faith, fans readily spared the night’s sleep, only to be let down once more when the album failed to materialize. However, a day after the expected release, fans began expressing their disappointment through meme trends, finding humor in the trial.

A day before the second release date, Saint Leon, an insider close to Ye reported how the rapper had been notably silent about ‘Vultures 2’ in a post shared by GoodAssSub on X, encouraging fans to “summon” West. He revealed that the ‘Donda’ rapper had not even provided any updates on the record. Leon also added that like his fans, his collaborator, Ty Dolla $ign remains unaware of any recent developments.

For fans, it was definitely the first cue to anticipate another hold-off. However, upon their realization, their emotions took a swing overnight. Hence, as for now, X trends for Ye and ‘Vultures 2’ lean invariably on trolling sessions.

Being a fan of Ye comes with its ups and downs, but perhaps the greatest challenge is the constant test of patience. Yet, his fans remain steadfast in their belief that there is a silver lining beyond the clouds of disappointment. Thus, they have found a way to cope by infusing humor into their emotions, even as their hopes teeter on the edge.

With speculation from Saint Leon suggesting that Ye might be taking a break or perfecting the final touches on the record, fans swiftly turned to memes to share their collective frustration by referencing the rumors in their memes.

Some even made light-hearted bets, promising to pay out to every fan who engaged with the hope of the album's release. While the memes provided some comic relief, they also served as a stark reminder of their diminishing hope. Nonetheless, it is anticipated that Ye will take note of these trends and, as he always does, support his fans by eventually releasing 'Vultures 2' shortly.
