Discover why Kanye West’s latest album ‘Vultures 1’ is vanishing from streaming platforms!
Welcome to Music Nation 365, where we bring you the latest updates on the music industry. Today, we dive into the saga of Kanye ‘Ye’ West and his album Vultures 1.
After the much-anticipated release of his collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign, Kanye West faced a series of challenges with maintaining the album’s presence on streaming platforms. The album disappeared from Apple Music and iTunes on Thursday afternoon, leaving fans puzzled.
Reports suggested that the album was removed by its initial distributor, FUGA, who cited a violation of their service agreement as the reason for taking it down from all streaming services. Despite this setback, the album resurfaced on Apple Music and iTunes through Label Engine, the distributor of its pre-release singles.
The troubles didn’t end there for Kanye West. Spotify removed the track “Good (Don’t Die)” from the album after a complaint from Donna Summer’s estate regarding unauthorized use of her song “I Feel Love.” Amazon Music and Apple Music followed suit shortly after.
Furthermore, West was forced to remove a sample from a Black Sabbath live performance in response to criticism from Ozzy Osbourne, who accused the rapper of using it without permission. Ozzy Osbourne called out Kanye West on social media, stating that he did not want any association with him due to West’s alleged antisemitic views.
Speaking of antisemitism, questions have been raised about the content of Vultures 1. Despite issuing an apology to the Jewish community last year, West’s album includes lyrics that some find troubling. In one track, he mentions keeping Jewish staff members and cashing out, while in another, he addresses allegations of antisemitism directly.
As the controversy surrounding Vultures 1 continues to grow, it remains to be seen how Kanye West will address the criticism and backlash. Stay tuned to Music Nation 365 for more updates on this unfolding story.
