Lil Durk appears to have responded to getting cut from Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s debut collaborative single “Vultures.”
The song, which premiered on Chicago radio last week with a verse from Durk, was released on streaming services on Wednesday (November 22) but with the Chicago native’s contributions removed.
The official version of “Vultures,” which is expected to appear on Ye and Ty Dolla’s upcoming album, still features a guest verse from Bump J.
Durk appeared to react to being removed from the song on his Instagram Stories, writing: “Be lucky I’m humble look at it as your blessing.”
Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign and Bump J have not offered any explanation as to why Durk’s verse was removed, but the decision also isn’t sitting right with fans who believe the “All My Life” hitmaker stole the show on the song.
One user posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Crazy that Lil Durk got kicked off Kanye West’s Vultures even tho he carried and had the best verse.”
Another said: “Why did kanye get rid of the durk verse. That was the best part of the song.”
When “Vultures” was first aired on WPWX Power 92 Chicago on Friday night (November 17), the song immediately drew controversy due to its lyrical content.
On the track, West addresses accusations that he’s antisemitic by rapping: “How I’m antisemitic? I just fucked a Jewish bitch.”
The Yeezy mogul has made a number of antisemitic remarks in a variety of public appearances, including praising Adolf Hitler during an interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
During the interview, West said: “Well, I see good things about Hitler, also. I love everyone, and Jewish people are not gonna tell me… ‘You can love us, and you can love what you’re doing to you with the contracts, and you can love what we’re pushing with the pornography.’
“But this guy that invented highways, invented the very microphone that I use as a musician—You can’t say out loud that this person ever did anything good, and I’m done with that. I’m done with the classifications, every human being has something of value that they brought to the table. Especially Hitler!”
West also took a shot at his former manager Scooter Braun — who is the grandson of Holocaust survivors — on “Vultures” with the line: “I just fucked Scooter’s bitch and we ran up like Olympics/ Got pregnant in the threesome so whose baby is it?”

LIL DURK SUCKS
Where is the woke mob that wanted to cancel Kanye for talking about small hat tribe ? I cant hear them….there mouths are all full of hamas dick now.
The nerve of this nikka. Didn’t he tell Akademiks just 5-6 months ago that he wasn’t f-cking with Kanye anymore since Ye put Rooga on during his last album release? Durk can’t fight, he never did shit to anybody when he was really in Chicago, only after he left he paid for hits like the b-tch -ss nikka that he is. Talking all this tough sh-t like ‘be lucky I’m humble’ smh you won’t do sh-t Kanye is not no lil street nikka.
Anyone who likes kanye was born after 9/11. He makes music for ignorant sheep
If only you and your entire family were on that plane, that way we wouldn’t have to hear your barking, you feral dog.
