It seems we’ll be missing Vultures, Kanye West’s album on streaming services
However, although vulture He generally had a good reception, it seems that we will have to say goodbye to him for a while, because, as if it were a bad joke, Kanye West’s new album is being downloaded from digital platforms. The reason? well then According to the album’s distribution on streaming services, the rapper and designer gave them the “nature” to release it without their permission.
It turns out that on the day this recording material hit platforms like Apple Music, Amazon Music, TIDAL (and later Spotify), it was apparently distributed by a company called FUGA. Everything was going great, Yes fans enjoyed listening to what he was working on, but What they didn’t count on was that neither West nor anyone else had the company’s permission to include it in any service.
Through a statement released by billboard, A FUGA representative stated that they were offered the opportunity for distribution in 2023 vulture by Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign on digital platforms. However, given the controversy Yeezy has gotten into and, according to the company, at its “discretion in the normal course of business.” You made the decision not to do it.

Since before the release of the album Ozzy Osbourne threatened legal action against West for sampling a Black Sabbath song without his permission (although the “Prince of Darkness” had already made it clear to West that he didn’t want his music associated with him).
But now Donna Summer’s heirs have also arrivedwho likes Ozzy made up his mind because of Kanye West’s jugular used part of “I Feel Love” without consent in the song “GOOD (DON’T DIE)”. However, they achieved something greater, because even before the intention to download the album on digital platforms was announced, They got the track that the rapper was featured on vulture.
