The long and painful wait for the first two volumes of 'Vultures' already had fans ready to give up on the idea of a third. Many had even decided it was probably better to move on than hold out for something that might never happen. But Ye, aka Kanye West, ever the master of suspense, orchestrated a surprise for fans. Julian Christopher recently shared a video on Instagram, featuring an exclusive preview of the TY$ X YE video on Instagram. The snippet showcased their track 'WHEELS FALL OFF', while Ye and Ty Dolla $ign grooved to their track.

This unexpected gift landed right after the Grammy afterparty on February 3rd, where Ye officially acknowledged 'Vultures 3'. He even teased a new song but cut it off just before his verse. Speaking of the Grammys, Ye also brought a bit of scandal to it with his wife Bianca Censori. The rapper brought Censori clad in an outfit that was pretty much beyond description. As expected, social media erupted with plenty of side-eyes and bewildered comments in response to Censori's outfit. As per reports, the couple was later shown the door after their spectacle.

There were even rumors that Censori might face legal consequences for her provocative attire. However, TMZ later dismissed these rumors as the Grammys were a private affair, and no formal complaints were lodged against the Australian designer either. As it turns out, even this moment was a part of Ye’s creative agenda. He was reportedly trying to replicate his 'Vultures 1' album cover at the Grammy.

This, naturally, left fans wondering whether the cover for the third volume might have a similarly bold and unconventional design.

The cover art for 'Vultures 3' was revealed in January last year. Just like the original covers of the previous 'Vultures' albums, it took a cue from 19th-century artist Caspar David Friedrich’s Landscape with Graves. But unlike its predecessors, the 'Vultures 3' cover gave the painting a bold dark blue makeover. It also had Burzum's 1996 album 'Filosofem' vibe thrown in for good measure. But it could still get a new cover.

After all, the other 'Vultures' albums swapped their covers for snaps of Ye and Bianca Censori, so we might be in for a similar move this time as well. But with the rollercoaster release of 'Vultures 2,' it is probably wise not to pin all your hopes on a set release date for volume three. And considering Ye’s focus on his upcoming eleventh solo album, fans might have to buckle up for a longer wait than they had hoped.
