In the track, which premiered on WPWX Power 92 Chicago, Kanye West addresses some of the controversial statements he made in late 2022. Midway through “Vultures,” West raps, “How I’m antisemitic? I just f—ed a Jewish b—-.”

The song also contains references that appear to be aimed at his former manager, Scooter Braun. West claims, “I just f—ed Scooter’s b—-,” and he makes a mention of the Columbine High School shooting massacre.

In 2022, Kanye West faced backlash for a series of antisemitic statements. After receiving criticism for wearing a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt at Paris Fashion Week, West tweeted that he was going “death con 3” on Jewish people. This sparked a string of interviews filled with hate speech, including an appearance on Alex Jones’ InfoWars, where West made disturbing statements, such as “I see good things about Hitler.”

It remains unclear if “Vultures” will be included on West’s reported joint collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign. In mid-October, Billboard reported that Ye and Ty were shopping a joint project to distributors, and West was expected to make a decision soon. This joint project would mark Kanye West’s first release since his antisemitic comments, which led to Universal Music Group distancing itself from the artist.

Earlier this month, Ty Dolla $ign teased a multi-stadium listening event for their joint album on November 3, similar to the massive events West hosted for “Donda” in 2021. However, the event did not take place, and a release date for the album has yet to be announced.
