The album was also wiped off from the Apple Music charts, according to Bilboard.



“The page you’re looking can’t not found,” the text stated on the official Apple Music site,

Earlier this Thursday, Vultures I’s distribution company, known as FUGA — which is a business-to-business tech and distribution platform for labels — planned to work with Digital Service Providers (DSPs) to removie the project off streaming.

“Late last year, FUGA was presented with the opportunity to release Vultures 1,” a spokesperson released a statement to the outlet.

“Exercising our judgment in the ordinary course of business, we declined to do so.”



“On Friday, Feb. 9, 2024, a long-standing FUGA client delivered the album Vultures 1 through the platform’s automated processes, violating our service agreement,” the spokesperson continued.

“Therefore, FUGA is actively working with its DSP partners and the client to remove Vultures 1 from our systems.”

At this time, the album can be found on Spotify and Amazon Music.

Ye’s album being dropped from Apple Music came after he ranted about singer Taylor Swift, 34.

‘NOT YOUR FRIEND’

On Valentine’s Day, the Flashing Lights rapper shared a screenshot of a tweet from a Swiftie fan discussing music streams and sales.

On his Instagram page, he also uploaded another tweet that encouraged Swifties to purchase and stream Beyonce’s newest single, Texas Hold ‘Em, in ordeer block him from the number one spot.



“WHEN I SAID THAT I’M THE NEW JESUS B**CH, I WASN’T EVEN THINKING ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT. THAT WAS A WHOLE LINE BEFORE BUT I APPRECIATE THE FREE PROMO,” he captioned the post in all caps.

“LIL WAYNE ACTUALLY MENTIONS TRAVIS [KELCE] ON VULTURES 2. THIS ALBUM IS ACTUALLY SUPER POSITIVE AND FUN. IT’S ALL ABOUT TRIUMPHANT.

“LAST YEAR WAS INCREDIBLY CHALLENGING FOR ME, MY WIFE, MY CHILDREN, FRIENDS AND FAMILY. I’VE BEEN BANNED FROM HOTELS, KICKED OUT OF COMPANIES, AND EVEN NOT ALLOWED TO EAT IN SOME RESTAURANTS,” the hitmaker wrote.

“EVERYONE SAW VULTURES 1 GET TAKEN OFF OF PLATFORMS TO LIMIT OUR FIRST WEEK NUMBERS. THIS REMINDS ME OF THE MISTREATMENT OF MY PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN.”

“I’M SURE I’VE BEEN FAR MORE HELPFUL TO TAYLOR SWIFT’S CAREER THAN HARMFUL. TO ALL TAYLOR SWIFT FANS, I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY. UM I’M NOT YOUR FRIEND EITHER THOUGH. LOTS OF LAUGHS.”

“I DIDN’T GET KICKED OUT OF THE SUPER BOWL. WE LEFT OUR SEATS TO GO TO YG’S BOX AND SEE DIFFERENT FRIENDS,” the singer went on.



“MY WIFE HAD NEVER BEEN TO A SUPER BOWL. SO I WANTED TO WALK AROUND AND HAVE A NICE TIME. WE HAD SUCH A FUN DAY.”

“THE MEDIA MAY CONTROL THE NARRATIVE BUT THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN,” he concluded.

Now married to Bianca Censori, Kanye and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 43 share their four kids: North, 10; Saint, eight; Chicago, six; and Psalm, four.

Watch: Taylor Swift helps out heavily pregnant Brittany Mahomes out of the Jet as they arrive NYC for her delivery

 

Taylor Swift flew out of Kansas City on Wednesday evening en route to London – after spending several hours with her new girlfriend Brittany Mahomes and saying goodbye to her lover Travis Kelce.

Swift is traveling to the British capital for the premiere of Beyonce’s new film. Beyonce attended the LA premiere of Swift’s film on October 11: Swift was unable to return the favor since she was performing in Brazil when Beyoncé premiered.

Swift and Mahomes spent Wednesday afternoon together for the second day in a row while their men – Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes – practiced for their clash with the Green Bay Packers this weekend.

Kelce and Swift also spent hours at Mahomes’ sprawling $8 million mansion on Tuesday.

Swift, 33, landed in Kansas City on Monday after wrapping up her final Eras tour show in Sao Paolo, Brazil on Sunday – and flew straight into the arms of Kelce.



The 34-year-old football player and Grammy hitmaker spent two nights hunkered down in his new $6 million mansion in Leawood, Kansas – and didn’t come out until Tuesday and Wednesday to visit the Mahomes home.
