Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign's joint album, "Vulture", will not arrive this month. The "Donda" artist and his collaborator have pushed back the set's release date to February 9.
The postponement was confirmed by Ye's representative. A rep for the Yeezy designer and Ty previously confirmed that the album would arrive on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2023.
When making the announcement on December 16, the rep to XXL also revealed that the 46-year-old emcee and the Los Angeles rhymer will be throwing another rave event in Saudi Arabia to celebrate the album's release. The pair first postponed their album release in November.
Kanye and Ty have never confirmed the official date of the new record. Fans, however, assumed that it would hit streaming services on December 15.
Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign's last collaboration was "Junya Pt 2" on his 2021 album, "Donda", but they have worked together numerous times since 2014. Before that, they worked together on Ty Dolla $ign's "Ego Death" (2020) and on West's "Everything We Need" (2019), "Real Friends" (2016), and "Only One" (2014).
Music aside, Ye made headlines last month after issuing a public apology over his anti-Semitic rants written in Hebrew. "I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any 'unintended outburst' caused by my words or actions,' " the 46-year-old wrote, translated to English. "It was not my intention to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused."
The ex-husband of Kim Kardashian, who previously made a series of anti-Semitic comments on and offline, went on to vow that he's "committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future." He added, "Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity."
In response to the apology, the Anti-Defamation League said in a statement, "After causing untold damage by using his vast influence and platform to poison countless minds with vicious antisemitism and hate, an apology in Hebrew may be the first step on a long journey towards making amends to the Jewish community and all those who he has hurt." The ADL went on to say, "Ultimately, actions will speak louder than words but this initial act of contrition is welcome."
