Lil Durk‘s vocals have been reinstated on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign‘s new song “Vultures,” much to his fans’ satisfaction.
The track, which premiered on Chicago radio last week with guest verses from Durk and Bump J, was released on streaming services on Wednesday (November 22) — but initially with the OTF rapper’s contributions removed.

Durk appeared to react to the omission on his Instagram Stories shortly afterward, writing: “Be lucky I’m humble look at it as your blessing.”
Naturally, fans were quite upset — but just one day later, Durkio is back on the official version on Apple Music. However, it looks like Spotify has not yet been updated.

“Thank god he literally got the best verse on the joint,” one fan wrote upon the update. Someone else said: “He knew he F’d up by taking that verse off.” Another person wrote: “Song is saved.”

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, Kanye 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!”
Kanye 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?”
