Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have reportedly once again postponed their joint album – its release date still remains unclear — and the listening event that was planned for later this week will no longer take place.
Last month, the “Oh Nah” hitmaker cleared his Instagram page and posted a teaser for the yet-to-be-released collaboration. Without revealing too much, he shared an image with the text: “¥$ multi stadium listening event November 3rd.”

On Wednesday (November 1), Billboard reported that the duo’s record launch has been cancelled without any further details. Though the pair never announced an official date to drop the record, fans assumed that it would go public after its broadcast at the now-aborted gathering teased above.
This is the second time Ye and Ty have pumped the brakes on the album’s rollout. They were initially set to perform the project in front of upwards of 100,000 fans at a massive concert in Italy toward the end of October.

Rumored to take place at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, the show was then canceled after reportedly hitting a roadblock. As for the album, it was recently reported that the Chicago rap icon and California crooner are looking for a company to distribute their material.
Billboard speculated that it will most likely be a smaller distributor as “some label leaders have passed on the opportunity” due to Ye’s antisemitic comments from last year. Because of this, Rick Ross recently signaled his interest in signing Yeezy to Maybach Music Group and releasing his album with Ty Dolla $ign through said imprint.
The Yeezy boss first spoke about the prospect of recording a full body of work with Ty Dolla $ign during an interview with Power 106 in 2018.
“Oh man, it’s so crazy. That’s one of the best combinations ever,” he said at the ye listening party in Wyoming that year. “Whenever we get on joints together, it be like, ‘Yo.’ It’s just [outta here].

“I’m just trying to go week after week after week and just improve on the craft. Ty is one of the strongest artists that we have living, and anything I can do to support, get around, produce, take my hands, chop up, everything, I’m with it.”
