Kanye West Fans Rejoice as ‘Vultures’ Returns to Apple Music After Temporary Disappearance!
Breaking News: Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, faced a tumultuous week in the music industry as his latest album “Vultures 1” with R&B singer Ty Dolla $ign was abruptly pulled off Apple Music only days after its release on February 9. The album mysteriously reappeared on the platform within hours, leaving fans and industry insiders puzzled.
Reports emerged that a spokesperson for distribution company FUGA revealed they had declined to work with Ye when approached late last year for the distribution of “Vultures 1.” Despite this, the album still found its way onto streaming platforms through FUGA’s automated processes, leading to a violation of the service agreement with the company.
In response to the violation, FUGA issued takedown notices to streaming services and worked to remove “Vultures 1” from their systems. However, the album resurfaced on Apple Music, hinting that Ye might have secured a new distributor to facilitate its return to the platform.
Adding to the controversy, individual tracks on the album came under legal scrutiny. “Good (Don’t Die),” a song from the album that allegedly sampled elements of Donna Summer’s 1977 hit “I Feel Love,” faced copyright complaints from the late disco diva’s estate, resulting in its removal from Spotify. The estate accused Ye of copyright infringement after being denied permission to sample the iconic song.
Moreover, legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne accused Ye of sampling a Black Sabbath song without permission after being denied and labeled the rapper as an antisemite. Osbourne took to Twitter to condemn Ye, stating that he used a sample from a 1983 live performance of “Iron Man” despite being refused permission due to alleged antisemitic behavior.
Despite the controversies surrounding Ye’s music and legal battles over unauthorized samples, he managed to replace the disputed samples with alternate ones in the final version of the songs, as reported by Billboard.
As the music world continues to reel from these events, fans are left wondering about the future of Ye’s music and the impact of these controversies on his career. Stay tuned to Music Nation 365 for more updates on this developing story.
