Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign's 'Vultures' Set for New Year’s Eve Release

Album Faces Clearance Hurdles and Controversy Over Explicit Lyrics

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign's collaborative album 'Vultures' is set to release on New Year’s Eve, after an initial delay from its original release date of Dec. 15.
The album has faced clearance issues, including a failure to clear a Backstreet Boys sample for the song 'Everybody' and Nicki Minaj's refusal to clear their 2018 collaboration 'New Body'.
West has publicly pleaded with Minaj for clearance, but she has declined, stating that the song is dated and she doesn't want to detract from her own recent album release.
The title track 'Vultures' has sparked controversy due to its explicit lyrics, leading to accusations of antisemitism and misogyny from the Anti-Defamation League.
Despite these issues, the album features a host of other collaborations, including with artists such as Lil Baby, Freddie Gibbs, Offset, Quavo, Playboi Carti, Chris Brown, Future, Bad Bunny, and Charlie Wilson.
