Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign dropped their Vultures follow-up, Vultures 2, in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Following the surprise release, multiple fans took to X to call the unexpected timing ‘random.’
One person wrote, ‘Kanye West Mad Random But I Respect It,’ while others used memes to compare to the Chicago-bred music artist. Another fan used a LeBron James slam dunk highlight reel, adding: ‘kanye west when it comes to dropping albums at random times.’
There was also a fan who shared an old video clip of West in a blue hat and gray sweatshirt, saying, ‘Gotcha!’ twice in a row.
To accompany the snippet, the person wrote: ‘Kanye West surprising everyone by dropping Vultures 2 without warning.’
Ty, born Tyrone William Griffin Jr, teased the album earlier in the day in his Instagram Stories.
Building anticipation among his 7.7 million followers, he wrote, ‘V2 loading,’ in white typewriter font set against a black background.
A few hours later he revealed, ‘V2 LIVE,’ adding a link to the music via Yeezy.com.
Hours before the full-length album came out, the two music artists released the single Slide.
Slide had been in development for some time — a version was first played at a listening party in Geneva last September, according to Variety.
Then, the live audience at Vultures Rave in Miami was treated to a full version of the tune in December 2023, months before Friday night’s release date.
Hours before Slide was dropped, an announcement appeared on Yeezy.com that the full Vultures 2 album would be unveiled on Saturday — but the statement was later deleted.
Earlier this week, West, his wife Bianca Censori, and Ty Dolla $ign attended a birthday dinner for Kanye’s manager John Monopoly.
John, who is also from Chicago, wrote on social media that the celebration ‘was a vibe.’
Additionally, he shared that the father-of-four gifted him ‘ANOTHER’ Tesla Cyber Truck.
‘I couldn’t make this sh*t up if I tried!’ he emphasized to his 40,000 followers on Instagram.
Vultures 2 comes just weeks after screengrabs emerged that allegedly showed West expressing a desire to retire from ‘professional music.’
News of the hitmaker’s shock plans were revealed in an alleged text message exchange with rapper Rich The Kid.
Rich The Kid, 31, shared a screenshot to his Instagram Story of messages he’d received from an iPhone contact under the name ‘Ye.’
The text from a person believed to be West — who legally changed his name from Kanye West to Ye in 2021 — read: ‘I’m retiring from professional music. Not sure what else to do.’
