Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ignβs highly anticipated joint album, “Vultures,” received a new release date after it failed to drop on the scheduled December 15 date.
A rep for Ye confirmed to Yo! Raps that the awaited project will now be dropping on December 31. The rep also confirmed that the pair will be throwing another rave event in Saudi Arabia to celebrate the albumβs release.
The much talked-about collaborative album has been delayed for numerous clearance issues. Kanyeβs βEverybodyβ record, which samples the Backstreet Boys 1999 hit βBackstreet Back,β was reportedly not cleared. In addition, last week, Nicki Minaj failed to grant Westβs request to clear their 2018 collaboration βNew Body.β
βNow regarding Kanye, that train has left the station, OK?β Minaj said. βNo disrespect in any way, I just put out a brand new album. Now why would I put out a song that has been out for three years? Come on guys. You know?β
West responded to Minajβs rejection at a “Vultures” listening party, saying: βI made that girl rewrite her verse three times for βMonster.β I supported her career.β
According to the Apple Music tracklisting, “Vultures” will include a total of 18 tracks. All songs on the album include an explicit warning but only the title track is currently available for streaming.
