KANYE West has teased an upcoming listening party in Chicago for his new Vultures album after he was slammed for an antisemitic rant in Las Vegas.
On Monday night, the Donda rapper took to his Instagram Stories to make the party announcement.
In bold font, the message read, “VULTURES UNITED CENTER CHICAGO 02 08 24.”
Kanye, 46, chose not to include any further details regarding the listening party or the release date of his third collaborative album, his first with Ty Dolla $ign, 41.
He did, however, share a cryptic photo that confused many fans still awaiting the high-anticipated new album.
Ye left fans scratching their heads when he shared an image with a giant number “1” on a plain gray background.
The post was captionless, leaving thousands of fans to flood the comment section with questions.
“What the f**k does that even mean,” one person asked.
“1 century till the album drops,” a second joked.
“1 more day of Kanye lying about dropping his album,” a third surmised.
“This means he’s dropping on January 1st 2025,” a fourth trolled.
“Bro posted a number,” a fifth complained.

“Idk what the f**k this mean. Just drop the damn album,” a final demanded.
VULTURES
An insider told The U.S. Sun that Kanye was putting the finishing touches on the album on December 15, 2023, when he hosted a rave in the Four Seasons in Las Vegas.
Then, a representative for the musician told Billboard that Vultures would debut on January 12, 2024, but shortly after, the date was removed from all digital platforms and the release was stalled.
Late last month, the father of four claimed Volume 1 of the studio album will be available February 9.
Volume 2 will then be released on March 8, and Volume 3 will follow on April 5.
The rapper hasn’t released an album since 2021 when he gave fans 27 songs on Donda.
Vultures will be Kanye’s 11th studio album and follow the success of his other albums such as The College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, and The Life Of Pablo.
The Vultures tracklist will feature 18 new songs, with snippets of several having already been released.
The lead song, Vultures, was released on November 18, 2023, and got fans even more excited for the rest of the album to drop.
However, one line in the song caught many fans’ attention as it touched on the subject of antisemitism once more.
“How am I antisemitic? I just f**ked a Jewish b***h,” the lyric said.
RANT AND RAVE
The aforementioned Four Seasons rave garnered all the wrong kinds of attention after Kanye went on a wild rant about Hitler and Jesus Christ during the early hours of the Friday morning, Las Vegas party.
Kanye teamed up with Ty Dolla $ign to host a rave for their upcoming album – which was later shut down by police.
After storming out of the event, he was filmed giving a heated 10-minute speech to a crowded room full of people.
He yelled: “Jesus Christ, Hitler, Ye! Sponsor that!”
The musician also said that Jewish people own all the banks, hospitals, and private schools in Los Angeles.
The Donda rapper then started screaming about his daughter North West, 10, who he shares with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 43.
He yelled: “My daughter ripped up the mother f**king couches in the house to be able to be with me right now.”
North was with Kanye earlier in the week, joining him onstage to perform a verse from his new album.
The Yeezy mogul also called out Drake, Jay Z, and his old business partners, Adidas – who axed their multimillion-dollar deal last year after he made a series of antisemitic comments.
He said: “Who you think the old man call? When we put Drake on stage, who you think the old man call?
“You know what I’m saying. Drake, this is what you been waiting for.
“Jay-Z, this is what you been waiting for. Adidas, this is what you been waiting for.”
He then mentioned his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, saying: “Kim, this is what you been waiting for.”
Kim and Kanye – who have four kids together – finalized their divorce in November 2022.
During his rant, Kanye also claimed that no one was standing up for him.
When one woman in the crowd said to him, “You ain’t God, n***a,” he threatened to have her kicked out of the room.
Kanye was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2018.
