Kanye West didn’t hold back on his criticism of fellow artists in a track on his new surprise album Vultures 2. 

The rapper, 47, and Ty Dolla $ign, 42, released the follow-up in the early hours of August 3 without much prior notice. 

The rap duo debuted their initial joint project on February 10. 

In the song 5:30, the duo calls out several rappers.

‘Ye name-dropped Drake on the track “5:30” from the Vultures 2 album,’ reported an account under the name No Jumper on X and Instagram.

Kanye West renewed his beef with Drake dissing the rapper on the new Vultures 2 album which was released in the  early hours of August 3. Drake and artists Lil Baby and Future were mentioned unfavorably on the track called 5:30

‘Ye also mentioned Lil Baby and Future,’ the reporter wrote, sharing the lyrics which go, ‘You a fake b**ch, You don’t really love Ye, go listen to Drake b**tch.’

That line was followed by another insult, which went ‘You don’t live in it and you don’t got what it take, b**ch, Go listen to Lil Baby, go listen to Future, b**ch.’ 

Vultures 2 was originally slated to be released in March, but when that didn’t happen, the rappers kept quiet about when it might finally be available.

Kanye peeked fans curiosity, unveiling the song Slide on yeezy.com and then live-streaming the project on YouTube.

Ty, born Tyrone William Griffin Jr, teased the album earlier in the day in his Instagram Stories.

Building anticipation among his 7.7 million followers, he wrote, ‘V2 loading,’ in white typewriter font set against a black background.

A few hours later he revealed, ‘V2 LIVE,’ adding a link to the music via Yeezy.com.

Following the surprise release, multiple fans took to X to call the unexpected timing ‘random’

There was also a fan who shared an old video clip of West in a blue hat and gray sweatshirt, saying, ‘Gotcha!’ twice in a row. To accompany the snippet, the person wrote: ‘Kanye West surprising everyone by dropping Vultures 2 without warning.’

Vultures 2 comes just weeks after screengrabs emerged that allegedly showed West expressing a desire to retire from ‘professional music.’

News of the hitmaker’s shock plans were revealed in an alleged text message exchange with rapper Rich The Kid, who shared a screenshot to his Instagram Story of messages he’d received from an iPhone contact under the name ‘Ye.’

The text from a person believed to be West — who legally changed his name from Kanye West to Ye in 2021 — read: ‘I’m retiring from professional music. Not sure what else to do.’
