It’s no secret that Kanye West’s fans have been waiting patiently for his next release for months now, and at present, it remains unclear exactly when they’ll hear it.

The Chicago-born MC was expected to unveil the second part of his project with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures 2, earlier this month, but it unsurprisingly fell through.

According to Ty, it could arrive “anyday now”, though its specifics are still murky.

During a recent stream, however, Adin Ross claimed to have exclusively obtained Kanye West’s scrapped Travis Scott collab and played some of it for viewers.

Low-quality snippets of the track, Can U Be, first surfaced online almost a decade ago. Ross alleged that he got the track from Ye himself, however, playing a higher quality version of the song than what’s been heard previously.

“It’s cuz Ye gave it to me,” Ross said during the stream. For those who don’t recall, Can U Be is the same track the internet personality tried to buy last year.

After spending $200K on it, he claimed it was AI. While Ross insists that the version he played recently is real, though this is unconfirmed.

It appears as though he might have been in talks with Ye in recent months, however, based on claims recently made by YesJulz.

Ye’s former promoter was fired earlier this year for allegedly violating an NDA. At the end of last month, she alleged that Ye agreed to appear on Ross’ stream in exchange for $2M.

$1M was for Ye, and $1M was for charity. According to YesJulz, Ross allegedly failed to come up with $1M for charity, which resulted in the deal falling through.

In other news, Kanye West has once again failed to release his anticipated album, Vultures 2. 

The Chicago rapper was the model of perfectionism in the 2000s, but he’s since become the poster child for failing to meet deadlines.

In recent times, the impression is that West releases a song or an album whenever he feels like it, and if he doesn’t, he doesn’t let the fans know.

He is reported to have originally claimed that Vultures 2 would be released on March 8, but the date came and went with no new music. Radio silence followed, and then he later said it was going to come out May 3.

As the new release date is now in the past, fans have yet to hear what the sequel to Ye’s last album sounds like.

The hours leading up to the supposed Vultures 2 release was characterized by fans setting themselves up for a letdown.

That being said, the confirmation that Vultures 2 has been delayed is disheartening, as fans flocked to X (formerly Twitter) to make their disappointment known.
