Kanye West Sends Fans Message Following Removal Of Vultures 1 From Streaming Services
Kanye West has issued a statement addressing the removal of his joint album with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures 1, from streaming services. The album has been plagued with issues since its release on February 10, with its track “Good (Don’t Die)” removed from Spotify. Furthermore, the entire album was temporarily pulled from Apple Music on February 15 after a complaint was raised by its distributor. FUGA was the initial distributor of ‘Vultures 1’, but as per Billboard, “a long-standing FUGA client delivered the album Vultures 1 through the platform’s automated processes, violating our service agreement.” The album was removed from streaming services until a new distribution agreement was reached with Label Engine, who had also managed the release of the singles “Vultures” and “Talking/Once Again.”
After the recent dramatic event, Kanye West shared a message with his followers on Instagram.
“With all the DSP’s taking the album down go to Yeezy.com to buy the album : ))).”
Recently, the estate of Donna Summer accused Kanye West and Ty Dolla of copyright infringement relating to their song “Good (Don’t Die).”. It was claimed that the artists had sampled Summer’s 1977 disco hit “I Feel Love” without permission. The estate reported that West had initially sought permission to use the song but was denied, leading to accusations that he had used artificial intelligence or another artist to re-sing the song.
It is unclear whether Kanye West used the sample without permission or if he had employed artificial intelligence or hired another artist to perform the song. It is noteworthy that West has previously used similar processes with his “All Falls Down” track from The College Dropout. Furthermore, West faced sample clearance issues with his “Vultures 1” album, specifically relating to his use of Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” on the track “Carnival.”. The band denied West permission to use the sample, and lead singer Ozzy Osbourne publicly stated that he did not want to be associated with West due to the latter’s antisemitic comments. West ultimately replaced the original sample with a clear section of his song “Hell of a Life” from the album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.”. West and his team will probably take the necessary measures to prevent future copyright infringement issues and ensure that all relevant permissions and clearances are obtained before using copyrighted content.
