Earlier today, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s new joint album Vultures 1 was removed from Apple Music due to distribution issues. The album arrived via FUGA, which later wanted the album removed. “A long-standing FUGA client delivered the album Vultures 1 through the platform’s automated processes, violating our service agreement,” a spokesperson told Billboard today. “Therefore, FUGA is actively working with its DSP partners and the client to remove VULTURES 1 from our systems.”
Now, the album has found a new distributor, Label Engine. The company put out the project’s first two singles, which led to confusion when the full album arrived via FUGA. Luckily, however, this means that the album is back on Apple Music again for fans to stream.

These are far from the only hiccups Ye has dealt with following the release of Vultures 1, however. Following the hitmaker’s Chicago listening party, Ozzy Osbourne took to Twitter to accuse him of sampling Black Sabbath without permission. “@kanyewest ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE A SECTION OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF ‘WAR PIG’ FROM THE US FESTIVAL WITHOUT VOCALS & WAS REFUSED PERMISSION BECAUSE HE IS AN ANTISEMITE AND HAS CAUSED UNTOLD HEARTACHE TO MANY. HE WENT AHEAD AND USED THE SAMPLE ANYWAY AT HIS ALBUM LISTENING PARTY LAST NIGHT. I WANT NO ASSOCIATION WITH THIS MAN!” he wrote.
Donna Summer’s estate later called Kanye out for alleged “copyright infringement” for his track “GOOD (DON’T DIE),” again insisting he was denied permission. Either way, the album continues to be a success among fans. What do you think of Vultures 1 returning to Apple Music? What about it moving to Label Engine? Are you glad you can stream it on Apple Music again? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep ane ye on HNHH for more updates.
