Fans of Kanye West, also known as 'Ye,' recently expressed their belief that Apple was attempting to 'sabotage' the artist. This speculation arose after Apple temporarily dropped West's number one album, Vultures. Just five days after its release, the album disappeared from the music platform and iTunes with no explanation given. However, it has since returned to the platform.
Reports suggested that the removal was a result of West allegedly uploading Vultures without permission. FUGA, the distributor, worked to remove the album from streaming services. A spokesperson for FUGA shared, 'Late last year, FUGA was presented with the opportunity to release Vultures 1. Exercising our judgment in the ordinary course of business, we declined to do so.' The spokesperson continued, 'On Friday, Feb. 9, 2024, a long-standing FUGA client delivered the album Vultures 1 through the platform’s automated processes, violating our service agreement. Therefore, FUGA is actively working with its DSP partners and the client to remove Vultures 1 from our systems.'
