Wow: Looks like Kanye West and TyDolla$ign’s album, Vultures 1 is being removed from streaming platforms. According to an exclusive report by Rolling Stone, the distributor for their album was uploaded despite telling Kanye West that they didn’t want to work with him on the rollout.

“Late last year, FUGA was presented with the opportunity to release Vultures 1. Exercising our judgment in the ordinary course of business, we declined to do so,” a spokesperson for Downtown Music, FUGA’s parent company, said in a statement. “On Friday, February 9, 2024, a long-standing FUGA client delivered the album Vultures 1 through the platform’s automated processes, violating our service agreement. Therefore, FUGA is actively working with its DSP partners and the client to remove Vultures 1 from our systems.”
At least on song from the album has already been removed from Spotify for other reasons. “Good (Don’t Die),” which seems to incorporate Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love,” was removed from Spotify Wednesday after a complaint from Summer’s estate. The song is still included on the album on Apple Music and other DSPs. Last week Ozzy Osbourne blasted Kanye for including an unauthorized sample of Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” on “Carnival,” but the audio is still up on streaming services as of now.
