Trying to show that not only can’t he be canceled but that he still has more music left in him, Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, is gearing up his latest project, Vultures. His latest album, made with recording artist Ty Dolla $ign, should have been released by now, but as with most of Ye’s latest projects, it’s been pushed back, this one until Dec. 31.
What stands out with this particular project is reports of the controversial producer using a quote by the world’s fastest woman, Sha’Carri Richardson, herself no stranger to controversy.
According to Hot New Hip Hop, Ye sampled two sentences Richardson spoke in an interview earlier this year when she took her first title, coming in first place in the Women’s 100m (10.82 seconds) at the 2023 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in July. The sampled words were, “And I’m ready mentally, physically, and emotionally. And I’m here to stay, I’m not back I’m better.”

If nothing changes about Ye, it’s his way of drawing attention to himself and/or anything he is working on. He’s proving it again in his Vultures project. At a listening event for the album on Dec. 12 at Art Basel in Miami, the Yeezy creator appeared at the event wearing what resembled a Black KKK hood.

It was reported that one of the lines on a song on Vultures was, “How I’m antisemitic? I just f**ked a Jewish b**ch.”
It seems he is not allowing his recent troubles, which took a load of money out of his bank accounts, to stop him from going on a torrid train ride he has commandeered ever since he appeared on an episode of “Drink Champs.” Before the show was taken offline, he spewed what some considered antisemitic remarks that had a snowball effect on his businesses.
