Ye – formerly known as Kanye West – has confirmed a new tentative release date for Vultures 2the follow-up to his collaboration album with Ty Dolla $ign.
Ye was the one who changed his mind about the release dates, but West revealed to Justin LaBoy's Download podcast that Vultures 2 it is scheduled to arrive on May 3rd. It was originally scheduled for March 8.
“It's coming out on May 3rd, yes,” Ye stated. May 3rd has long been the rumored release date, even going back to March when West's DM accidentally leaked with a Baby Keem fan page while Ye thought he was messaging the real artist Baby Keem.
West will face stiff competition to score another No. 1 album this time on the Billboard 200. Dua Lipa Radical Optimism is scheduled to land on May 3 and Taylor Swift's Department of Tormented Poets probably going nowhere.
Ye and Ty Dolla released independently Vultures 1 on February 10 via YZY, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 148,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.
With No. 1, Ye earned his 11th leader and Ty solidified his first. The project — Ye's first following his string of anti-Semitic comments and controversies — also spawned the No. 1 Hot 100 hit “Carnival” featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti.
Yeezy has been laying low on the music front for the past few weeks, but he's back with a splash as he hops on an unofficial remix to Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar's “Like That.” The explosive remix — which finds Ye taking shots at both J. Cole and Drake — isn't on streaming services, but has been re-uploaded to Ye's YouTube page on Wednesday (April 24).
Elsewhere in his conversation with LaBoy, West revealed that Drake's “elimination” inspired him to do the remix. “[Future] he called me and I went to the studio and put it on. We went through the creative process of adding the chords and called the Hooligans in London to get on board,” he explained. “Everybody was very, very energetic about eliminating Drake.”
