Kanye West shocks fans with surprise album announcement – not one, not two, but three new albums on the way!
Kanye West has kept fans eagerly waiting for his new joint album Vultures with Ty Dolla Sign, but it seems like the release date has been pushed back once again. Originally scheduled for December 15, 2023, the album faced delays, with no new date in sight. The setbacks may have been due in part to issues with Nicki Minaj, who reportedly refused to clear a song they worked on together five years ago, leading Kanye to threaten to withhold the album until the matter was resolved.
Despite rumors that Vultures would finally drop on December 31, that date also came and went without a release. Now, Kanye has revealed a new plan for the album. On January 23, he announced that there will be three different “volumes” of Vultures, with the first volume set to be released on February 9, followed by the next installments on March 8 and April 5.
However, the album has not been without controversy. Reports have surfaced that the song “Everybody” samples the Backstreet Boys’ hit “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” but the boy band did not give clearance for its use. It remains to be seen how this issue will be resolved and if the song will make it onto the final tracklist.
In a surprising turn of events, Kanye has also announced plans to build a 100,000-acre metropolis in the Middle East, with Dubai being considered as a potential location. Luxury real estate agent Marcel Remus shared details of his meetings with Kanye, hinting at a possible collaboration in the real estate sector.
With all these developments in the works, it looks like 2024 is shaping up to be a big year for Kanye West. Fans will have to keep waiting for Vultures, but with three volumes on the horizon and ambitious projects on the horizon, there’s no shortage of excitement surrounding the artist.
