Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign are yet to release the “Vulture” album, and fans are growing impatient by the day.
The album, which has been surrounded by controversy, is set to be boycotted by a cross-section of people, given West’s fervent anti-Semitism stance.
As this isn’t the first time the album’s release date has been postponed, it comes as a surprise that his fans are upset over the current situation. The most recent announcement has, however, pegged the planned release date for January 12, 2024.
This was, nonetheless, followed up with another notice by West’s spokesman, which indicated that the album no longer has a release date.
Another school of thought holds the opinion that the album may be completely scrapped, but insiders have argued that this isn’t the case.
