Following the album’s February release, the pair have been teasing a second volume for some months now, but it has yet to materialize. Their cameo in Japan, however, suggests that their partnership is still in motion.
Check out the duo performing inside a wrestling wring below:
Last month, Ty Dolla $ign provided an update on the status of the much-delayed Vultures 2 while teasing more fresh material with West.
Appearing on a Kick stream with Russian YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, he said: “It’s dropping ASAP. Vultures 2 is on the way. It’s coming soon. Any day now. It could be tomorrow.”
The California crooner also confirmed that the aforementioned project, which was initially supposed to arrive on May 3, will not be available on streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music.
Elsewhere during his broadcast with the controversial streamer, the California crooner played a preview of an unreleased song from Vultures 2 that features a Playboi Carti verse.

He also confirmed that the duo are definitely releasing all three planned Vultures albums before hinting at a fourth.
“Possibly four, who knows,” he said while smoking a joint and commenting on how the albums keep getting delayed. “Shit happens.”
The Yeezy boss had previously teased the idea of selling Vultures 2 directly to fans.

Messaging a fan account on Instagram, he wrote: “We sell albums on Yeezy.com. I got 20 million instagram followers,” he wrote in a text exchange. “When 5% of my followers buy an album [t]hat’s 1 million albums sold[.] That’s 300k more than the biggest album last year.
“We sold 1 million items on Yeezy.com on Super Bowl Sunday so we know it’s possible. How do you feel about us not streaming and only selling the album digitally[?]”
