Now, after ‘Donda’ in 2021, Ye has come out with an album with TY Dolla $ign titled ‘Vultures’.
Kanye West and TY Dolla $ign had a listening party for ‘Vultures’ in Miami recently. They played several songs from the album, including ‘New Body’, which features Nicki Minaj. The rap queen is having a moment in her new era with ‘Pink Friday 2’ which has broken streaming records and charted songs on various platforms. After the release, Ye asked her to clear her verse on the album, but the ‘Monster’ rapper has refused to do so.
