Ye previewed tracks at events in Miami to close out Art Basel

KANYE West has a surprising amount of support for his comeback album, which is set to drop on December 15, The U.S. Sun can confirm.

Despite being canceled last year and losing countless fashion deals following his anti-Semitic remarks, his music career does not appear to have taken a hit.

The 46-year-old made explosive comments posted on X, formerly Twitter, that he was declaring “Defcon 3” on Jewish people and was dropped by everyone from Balenciaga to Adidas.

But while his Yeezy business has suffered, he’s turned his focus to music with the new record Vultures, a collaboration with artist Ty Dollar $ign.

He appeared to laugh off the controversy in the first track released last month, rapping: “How I’m anti-Semitic? I just f***ed a Jewish b*tch,” which caused a stink on social media.

Kanye has now announced that the full album will drop on Friday.

He has been in Miami all weekend with his Australian wife Bianca Censori and a huge entourage, previewing tracks from the record at several events.

The star even took to the stage at DJ Khaled’s birthday party at Club LIV in Miami to perform tracks from his back catalog, including All of the Lights, Can’t Tell Me Nothing, Runaway, and Jesus Walks.

Several witnesses in the crowd took to X and Instagram to share videos, claiming he told fans of his new record: “It’s called Vultures, coming out this Friday.”

Along with Ty Dolla $ign, it will feature Nicki Minaj and Young Thug, according to sources, with a full track list already appearing on social media leak accounts.

Kanye came back with his hit record “Ye” after causing an uproar by claiming “slavery was a choice” in 2018, and it appears his fans are backing him yet again.

And although some wondered where his music would feature after the recent scandal, the first single from the album is already available on Spotify and Apple Music.

Spotify can ban songs for “hate content” or anything that violates the service’s policies but the recent track has managed to slide through.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to both Spotify and Apple Music.

Time will tell whether it is added to playlists or promoted on the streaming services.

Kanye is currently a free agent as Universal Music’s Def Jam Recordings and Sony Music Publishing are both out of contract with him.

It is not known which label his new album will be distributed under.

Sony previously confirmed that his administration deal with the company ended last year, per the terms.

Many major music artists, including Frank Ocean and Prince, have worked without a label.

Kanye could simply post new tracks on streaming services and pick up royalties, not worrying about radio play and traditional distribution.

Chris Brown recently took to Instagram to defend a video of him dancing, laughing, and miming to Kanye’s anti-Semitic track after he was dragged on social media.

He was seen standing next to the star as the track was played at a recent party in Dubai.

In a now-deleted post, he wrote on his Instagram Story: “Let me make this perfectly clear before y’all try to use me as a pawn.

“Ima Piru, I aint Muslim or Jewish so don’t start no s**t wont be no s**t!!! Im trying to be peaceful but please do not wake up the demon in me. Go on about your f**king day.”

In a second post, he raged: “In no way shape or form am I antisemetic [sic] !!! I’m pro life and I make music for the entire world!!!!!!

“So please do not get tricked into thinking I spread hate or am kool with it! This [is] for the million of young kids that look up to [me] and [may] be confused.”

MIAMI RAVE

Despite his comments, he made no effort to apologize for seeming to support the song and Kanye’s comeback.

Kanye has not posted on social media or spoken publicly about his music comeback for months, but spent time in Dubai working on the record at a remote location.

He is also set to appear at a rave in Miami on Tuesday to celebrate his new record, with Playboi Carti posted a message seemingly inviting him on social media.

The text read: “It’s ye checking in family Got your number from Wheezy.”

“¥$ [Ye and Ty Dolla $ign]…VULTURES…RAVE…MIAMI…SAW…GRASS…MILLS…12…12…12…AM.”

He also shared what appears to be the potential cover for Vultures, a desert image called Landscape with Graves by German artist Casper David Freidrich.

According to research, Friedrich’s work was used in the 1930s in the promotion of Nazi ideology.
