Kanye's alleged apology video leads fans into heated debates online

With the latest on Ye reportedly being his new apology video, fans were quick to take to X to debate each other on where they stand when it comes to Kanye West and his antisemitic comments.

Several critics slammed the artist for supposedly using this as a means to promote his upcoming album. Vultures, Kanye's highly anticipated collaboration album, is scheduled to drop on February 9.

"Apologies are a step toward healing and understanding—commendable to see efforts for growth and accountability."

Latest updates on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign's 'Vultures'

Fans have been on edge ever since Ye and Ty Dolla pushed their album release date for a third time, moving the official release date to February 9.

Both artists have been quiet about the rescheduling, leading many fans to believe this could be another Yandhi situation where the album never officially releases but gets leaked online over the years.

However, at a concert in Saudi Arabia last night (January 19), Ty Dolla $ign announced that the album was dropping soon. The artist stated:

"WE BOUT TO DROP THE NEW ALBUM VULTURES REAL SOON"

As fans await the album release in less than one month, the recent listening events and previews have led fans to speculate the success and streaming numbers this album will generate upon its release.
