Kanye West’s Controversial Album Removed From Apple Music

Kanye West’s controversial album, Vultures 1 has been pulled down just five days after its debut on the Apple Music platform.

This is coming after it was hit by copyright infringement issues, and fans have been reacting.

It happened amid reports the Vultures 1 distributor is working to remove it from all streaming services after Kanye reportedly uploaded it to various platforms without permission, according to Billboard.

The album was first hit with streaming issues on Wednesday when Spotify removed the track Good (Don’t Die) due to claims of copyright infringement made by Donna Summer’s estate.

The distributor, FUGA had this to say, “On Friday, February 9, 2024, a long-standing FUGA client delivered the album Vultures 1 through the platform’s automated processes, violating our service agreement.

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

WOW.
