Ye and Ty released the first part of their three-volume ‘Vultures’ project on February 10. Since then, the pair have been accused of using unauthorised samples of Donna Summer’s ‘I Feel Love’ and Black Sabbath’s ‘Iron Man’ on the record.

Summer’s estate alleged that the move constituted “copyright infringement”, and the track in question – titled ‘Good (Don’t Die)’ – was removed from Spotify.
Yesterday (February 15), it was reported that the distributor FUGA was “actively working” with streaming platforms to remove ‘Vultures 1’ after not agreeing to release it in the first place. The album is currently unavailable on Apple Music.
It is also said that several other distributors had refused to work with West after his string of allegedly anti-Semitic comments over the past few years.
Before confirming Rolling Loud California, West shared the potential cities and venues that could host upcoming ‘Vultures’ tour dates around the globe. The work-in-progress itinerary featured four concerts at The O2 in London this September.
In a two-star review of ‘Vultures 1’, NME said that the collection was “mired in misogyny” and “dogged by degrading lyrics and messy mixes”.
It added: “Such misogyny is hardly new in hip-hop – or either artists’ catalogues or the broader musical landscape in general – but that doesn’t make it any less detestable.”
