With his recently released album, Vultures 2, featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Kanye West didn’t hold back when criticizing Adidas, Drake, and other rivals.
Saturday, August 3, marked the official release date of Vultures 2, following multiple postponements, false starts, and missed deadlines.
Rapping, “We mass targeted, mass marketed, mass incarceration/ Mass in police stations, mass incorporated, fuck Adidas,” Yeezy takes a shot at Adidas on the album’s final track, “MY SOUL.”
With the phrase “You a fake bitch, you don’t really love Ye bitch, go listen to Drake bitch,” Ye appears to be taking a jab at Drizzy on “530.”
In another scene on “HUSBAND,” Yeezy seems to be making fun of Kim Kardashian, his ex-wife, who hasn’t been seeing anyone since their divorce in 2021.
“Neighbors know this shit get out of hand, but they smile/ Because you been without a man for so long,” he raps. “You know that’s where they at, Beverly Hills/ You know that’s where they at/ I don’t really wanna go back to that/ If I do, I know I’m goin’ back to back/ Breakin’ backs and bags, imagine that,” he finally adds, clarifying the message a little more.
Kanye has pursued Drake and Adidas on previous occasions.
After his Vultures 1 single “Carnival” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March of last year, he voiced his dissatisfaction with a number of organizations.
Kanye’s fifth No. 1 single, which he collaborated on with Rich The Kid, Playboi Carti, and Ty Dolla $ign, became the first rapper to top the chart in three distinct decades.
The outspoken rapper and fashion designer took use of the chance to attack a number of people he viewed as foes.
West wrote: “Rich Ty Carti and the supporters that stood by us through everything” in an Instagram post that has since been removed. This is your number one. It’s intended for those who refuse to be controlled by the system.
“And fuck adidas and all of the employees who are employed by them.” Everyone whose parents work at adidas and with whom they attend school. Just remember that despite their attempts to ruin me, we now have the world’s top song.
“Like the fake dude I saw in the Ritz lobby that works at Goat,” he went on. You pussys aren’t tolerant of crap. Fuck the Dailey Mail staff as well [sic].
“And Fuck every single one of you, as well as every so-called Christian, friend, or family member who watched me have my kids taken away from me. Fuck every fashion house that supported Gabby and Hailey Bieber.”
Kanye concluded his speech by criticizing Drake, a longstanding foe and occasionally friend, for having just enlisted Lil Durk, West’s “Vultures” collaborator, to accompany him on his It’s All a Blur — Big as the What? Tour.
That’s my emotional state. Furthermore, “It’s fuck Drake for taking Durk out at the start of the Vultures role [sic]. I’ll get back to you guys if I have any more fuck yous,” he said.
