Kanye Updates Fans On ‘Vultures 2’ Release After It Doesn’t Drop

March 8th 2:45 PM

As expected, the second volume of Vultures did not drop at midnight. However, Kanye did leave fans with a sliver of hope about the second installment of the series. In an alleged direct message between a fan account (@yefanatics) and Kanye, the rapper said that he and Ty Dolla $ign are still working on the project.

“Hi Ye. Will Vultures 2 be available today?” the fan account asked the rapper, to which he replied: “We in the lab.”

While there was a delay in Vultures 2, there most likely will be one for Vultures 3 which expected on April 5, 2024.

Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign released the first volume of Vultures on Friday (Feb. 9). The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Fans will just have to wait for the other volumes of Vultures as Ye said that he will not be coming out with a solo project in an Instagram DM to the fan account @yefanatics.

“This is fake news. Ain’t no album called Y3. And ain’t nobody tryna be the ‘old Ye.’ When I made 808s [& Heartbreak] n—– was running round talking bought they miss the old Ye.”

He added mentioning his latest album Vultures with Ty Dolla $ign: “We just made King / Back 2 Me / Carnival/Talking just to name a few. We got the number 1 song in the world and number 1 album in the world with top level beats top level bars top level hooks top level features.”

“I’m the greatest artist in any genre ever. And I’m just getting started,” he concluded the message.

Las Vegas Sphere: 7 Hip-Hop Artists and R&B Who Should Perform There

• Beyoncé

  Share

  Beyoncé's visuals have always been next-level, and what she could do at the Las Vegas Sphere wouldn't be anything short of iconic. After the Super Bowl surprise, where she announced Act II of Renaissance -- a trilogy of projects first revealed in 2022 --- will be a country album along with two singles, "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages," rumors began that she would possibly have to take Act II to Vegas at the Sphere. During the Verizon ad, which teased her dropping music, she tried to "break the internet," and in her many attempts, which included a lemonade stand -- a nod to her 2016 album Lemonade -- going into space and running for president. She also found herself at the top of the Sphere, which fans believe was a nod to a potential residency. Beyoncé is definitely an artist whose fans would flock to Vegas to see as her last tour as the Beehive supported the artists overseas during the Renaissance World Tour as well as in their home cities. According to Forbes, the Renaissance World Tour made $579 Million, with 2.7 million fans attending across the 52 tour dates.

• Jay-Z

  Share

  Jay-Z hasn't been on tour in six years, so a huge welcome back at the Las Vegas Sphere seems appropriate. The Brooklyn native's last solo tour was in 2017 in support of his thirteenth studio album, 4:44. He later joined his wife, Beyoncé, on their On The Run II Tour the following year to accompany their joint album Everything Is Love.  There have been possible hints at a fourteenth album from Jay, as his exhibit at the Brooklyn Library contained an empty display case next to 4:44. While there hasn't been a confirmation on another album, fans wouldn't be upset if he decided to do a residency at the Sphere.

• Drake

  Share

  Drake is known for his over-the-top (and often playful) antics during his live shows, so the rapper would be right at home in the Sphere. Last year, he said that he would be taking a break from music to focus on his health, but in a concert in February, the rapper walked back on his statement as he teased new music. If Drake released a new project and then a residency at the Sphere, it would be a monumental moment for fans. The rapper released his latest album For All The Dogs: Scary Hours Edition in November.
• Rihanna

  Share

  Rihanna's Super Bowl performance was a reminder that she still has it when creating visually appealing performances. The singer-turned-mogul headlined Super Bowl LVII in 2022, where she performed a medley of her greatest hits, including "Diamonds," "Run This Town," "Where Have You Been," and more.  It's been eight years since Rihanna dropped 'Anti,' which garnered the singer eight GRAMMY nominations. According to A$AP Rocky, the singer is in the studio working on her ninth studio album, and we believe a Sphere residency would be the perfect venue for her musical comeback.

• Usher

  Share

  Vegas has been Usher's home for two years, and some fans are still regretting not seeing him during his residency. The Sphere would be the perfect opportunity for Usher to combine his creative visual side with the intimacy he shares with the audience during his concert. While Usher is set to embark on his Past Present Future Tour this fall, we wouldn't mind him seeing the show he would put on at the Sphere. At this point, Usher might need a permanent place in Vegas.

• Kanye

  Share

  While a residency at the Sphere would be far-fetched, given where Kanye is currently in his career due to his controversial moments, if given the opportunity, he would absolutely set the stage on fire. Kanye just released the first volume of Vultures, and with two more parts remaining, it will be ample time for him to get some tour dates going. The rapper always brings out his surprise guests to big events like this for the most part, so fans of the artists who work with Ye will be able to see them there, too. If a concert is too much, Ye loves a listening party, so maybe he could get his feet wet by holding a slightly smaller event before concert dates are rolled out.
• Travis Scott

  Share

  As one of the newer talents on this list, whether you hate him or love him, you can't deny his knack for creating over-the-top visuals. Scott would be able to create a masterpiece of visuals if he were able to in Vegas, as he's shown off his talent in prior music videos and live performances. The rapper just dropped Utopia last year, which was nominated for Best Rap Album at the Grammys. The second leg of his Utopia Tour ended in January, so it seems as if the artist has some time to cook up some memorable visions for a possible third leg or new album accompanied by a Vegas residency. If you look at his music videos and live performances, Scott is a no-brainer for the Sphere.
