A woman who goes by Bonnie Lashay has come forward as the alleged mother of Blueface’s next child. Lashay recently shared an Instagram post featuring a photo of what appears to be a protruding baby bump, soundtracked by her “That’s My Daddy” remix of Blueface’s Dirt Bag track “Daddy” featuring Rich The Kid.

”I’m nervous,” Lashay wrote. “blue face baby. Stay Tuned.”

While there’s no confirming how valid Lashay’s pregnancy claims are at the moment, considering Blueface is locked up in Los Angeles County Men’s Jail, the pair have been linked together since 2021. In videos on her Instagram, her toddler son also appears to call Blueface “Daddy Blue.”

Earlier this month, Lashay posted a video of herself to her Instagram account getting a Blueface tattoo. Unlike Chrisean Rock, who recently got his mugshot tatted on her face, Lashay opted to get his face stamped on her derrière.

”Got his face tatted where he loves to put his face at,” she wrote. “I love blue sooo much A&F. Should I do his face on my face next?” Check out the tattoo below.

Donald Trump Hammered With Massive Fine & New York Ban In Fraud Case

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

Donald Trump suffered a major defeat in a civil fraud case on Friday (February 16). A New York judge fined him more than $350 million and banned the former president from serving as a director or officer of any New York corporation for three years.

Judge Arthur Engoron handed down the harsh punishment at the end of a three-month trial. Trump was found liable of conspiring to inflate his net worth to deceive banks and others.

Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba claimed the judge’s decision was the culmination of a witch hunt. Habba planned to appeal the ruling.

“This is not just about Donald Trump,” the attorney said. “If this decision stands, it will serve as a signal to every single American that New York is no longer open for business.”

Judge Engoron cited Trump’s refusal to admit error in the ruling. The judge determined the court needed to fine and ban Trump because the former president would continue to exploit the system otherwise.

“This Court is not constituted to judge morality; it is constituted to find facts and apply the law,” the judge wrote. “In this particular case, in applying the law to the facts, the Court intends to protect the integrity of the financial marketplace and, thus, the public as a whole. Defendants’ refusal to admit error—indeed, to continue it, according to the Independent Monitor—constrains this Court to conclude that they will engage in it going forward unless judicially restrained. Indeed, Donald Trump testified that, even today, he does not believe the Trump Organization needed to make any changes based on the facts that came out during this trial.”

Trump suffered the legal loss while running for president. The twice-impeached politician also faced four criminal cases. He was indicted in two election interference cases, a classified documents case and a hush money case.

Bow Wow insisted he has no ill will for rappers and athletes who date his exes. The multi-platinum-selling artist discussed how feels about seeing other celebrities with his exes in an interview with the Art of Dialogue.

“It don’t bother me,” Bow Wow said. “It don’t bother me at all. It don’t. It’s not even a bragging rights thing. You know some cats would be like, ‘Oh, I was the first person’ … [There are] so many fish in the sea. I mean people gonna like who they like. People are gonna date who they wanna date. And as long as it ain’t a potna. Like to me, that’s when the s### gets weird. Like if it’s one of my bros or it’s some s### like that.”

He continued, “But if I don’t know you and we don’t have that type of relationship, fair game. It’s fair game. I mean if you not my woman no more and the next n#### been plotting on it and he want it, by all means, go ahead. ‘Cause I’m on to the next, believe me. I always find ‘em.”

Bow Wow recalled how he became friends with a man who dated one of his exes. He stressed the importance of moving on after the end of a romantic relationship.

“I’m never tripping on no woman or any of my exes once they move on,” he said. “If anything, I’m happy for ‘em. All honesty, there’s been times where I coulda—put it this way: you never wanna trip when the woman is not yours no more because you never know. You and that dude that you probably wanted trip on or whatever if it’s weird, y’all probably got a lot in common. “

Bow Wow dated Ciara, Erica Mena, Angela Simmons and more notable names in the past. He is the father of two children: one with Joie Chavis and the other with Olivia Sky.

Snoop Dogg disclosed the death of his half-brother, Bing Worthington, on Friday (February 16). Snoop posted photos and videos of his kin on Instagram as he mourned the loss.

“@badabing33 always made us laugh,” Snoop wrote in one caption. “u bac with moms.”

Worthington worked closely with Snoop over the years, going from a roadie to the Doggfather’s tour manager. He also pursued a music career as a member of the duo Lifestyle before settling into his role out of the spotlight.

Worthington’s death added to what’s already been a rough start to 2024 for Snoop’s family. Last month, Snoop’s daughter Cori Broadus suffered a seizure that sent her to the hospital. But the 24-year-old Broadus received a positive update on her health about a week after she was hospitalized.

“My ct scan of my chest came back normal and I’m going home today,” she told her Instagram followers on January 24. “I can prolly cry omgggg thank you thank you for the continuous prayers, love, etc.”

Worthington passed away three years after their mother, Beverly Tate, died. She was 70.

“Thank u God for giving me an angel for a mother,” Snoop wrote in one of several social media posts following her death. “Walk by faith not by sight smile snoopy that’s what U would say when it was time to take a picture.”

Bing Worthington’s cause of death has not been revealed. He was 44. AllHipHop sends our condolences to Snoop Dogg and his entire family.

Dave East’s plans for Valentine’s Day allegedly went up in flames thanks to Dipset member Jim Jones. According to Page Six, East and his date left the Soho House in New York after Jones swooped in and secured a VIP table that East expected to get on Wednesday (February 14).

“Why is he sitting there?” East reportedly asked. “We were here before anybody else.”

Jones, Chrissy Lampkin and their entourage were sitting at the VIP table to see singer Jon B perform at the Soho House on Valentine’s Day. An associate of East allegedly tried to resolve the issue. East reportedly was fed up with the situation and decided to leave.

“It’s way too packed in here, and I am not standing up in this crowd,” East allegedly said. “What am I suppose to do — just stand here? Nah, we out.”

Page Six claimed East’s date wanted to find a way for them to stay and see Jon B’s performance, but the rapper grabbed her hand and escorted her out of Soho House. Jones and East’s reps did not respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

East did not let his Valentine’s Day misfortune ruin his week as he dropped a new album titled For the Love on Friday (February 16). East teamed up with DJ/producer Scram Jones for the project, which was released exclusively on FTDNYC.com.

The love-themed album included 12 tracks with just one guest appearance. East’s latest project is available for $5.99. He is also selling shirts and bandanas featuring the album’s cover artwork on the same website.

Troy Ave has revealed he’ll be spending time behind bars in connection to a shooting case that occurred nearly eight years ago.

On Thursday (February 15), Troy Ave reported to court about the deadly 2016 Irving Plaza shooting involving podcast host Taxstone. The incident ultimately claimed the claimed the life of bodyguard Ronald “Banga” McPhatter. Troy Ave shared a video to his Instagram account before the hearing and alluded to turning himself in.

“Alright, y’all,” Troy said in the video. “They might cheat me, you might not see me for a while. But just know the streets is a myth. All them people that was in the car with me, I end up taking the guns. Somebody shot at me, and instead of laying down and dying, I’d have been a hero, a martyr, I took the gun and bust back.”

Troy Ave continued, requesting prayers from his fans as he navigates the “consequences” of the situation.

“And there you have it.” he said. “Here go the consequences. But we don’t cry over spilt milk. We take the lemons and make lemonade. God is great, and the paper’s straight. Y’all keeps it cool. Y’all keep running it up. Send the prayers up. Prayers count more than anything.”

Shortly after the video began circulating on social media, Troy Ave’s attorney John B. Stella released the official statement regarding the sentencing.

“Roland Collins [Troy Ave] was sentenced on 2/9/24 to 1 year jail on his plea to attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the 2nd degree,” the statement reads. “Under the law he must serve 8 months to satisfy that sentence. Since he previously spent almost 2 months in jail before he made bail, the remaining balance of time he must serve is a little over 6 months.”

Troy Ave’s sentence follows Taxstone getting slapped with 35 years in prison last June after being convicted of manslaughter. In a YouTube video titled “Today I Go to Jail for Defending Myself Against a HATER Who Tried to K*ll Me,” Troy Ave discussed details of the case and revealed he will deliver new music next month.

Boosie Badazz does not hold his tongue when sharing his opinions. The Baton Rouge native called out USHER for embracing Alicia Keys during their “My Boo” performance at Super Bowl LVIII.

The 41-year-old rapper has now doubled down on his criticism of USHER hugging Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz’s wife, from behind on stage at the NFL’s big game. Boosie slammed the legendary R&B singer again while getting his haircut.

“That is a man’s wife, bro. You cannot put your genitals on the back of a man’s wife,” Boosie Badazz told someone off-camera in his latest rant posted to social media. “‘Cause everywhere I go they’ve been on my ass, and I’m gonna stand up for what I say ’cause I’m a real one.”

He continued, “First of all, it wasn’t planned because of the reaction on her face… If it was planned, she would have had time to ask her husband was this okay. I feel like both of them would’ve said no because they know how social media will take something like that.”

The rollout of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s new body of work has been met with delays, complaints over samples and removal from streaming platforms. For example, Apple Music temporarily took Vultures 1 off the music app.

Vultures 1 returned to Apple Music on Thursday (February 15) after Label Engine took over distribution for the album. The project’s original distributor, FUGA, reportedly had the studio LP taken down.

“Late last year, FUGA was presented with the opportunity to release Vultures 1,” a spokesperson for the company told Billboard in a statement. “Exercising our judgment in the ordinary course of business, we declined to do so.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/C3ZAH5NIz7B/?hl=en

The FUGA representative also claimed Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign violated a service agreement by adding Vultures 1 to DSPs through the platform’s automated process. In addition, the duo faced public objections from Ozzy Osbourne and Donna Summer’s estate over unapproved sampling.

Vultures 1 finally arrived on February 9 after being pushed back several times since December 2023. Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign managed to secure a star-studded lineup of guest features for the album. In particular, Playboi Carti and Rich The Kid appear on “Carnival” which topped Apple Music’s Top 100: USA rankings.

Early projections have Vultures 1 debuting at No. 1 on next week’s Billboard 200 chart with around 140,000 first-week units. If those forecasts hold up, Kanye West will earn his eleventh No. 1 album. It would be Ty Dolla $ign’s first Billboard 200 chart-topper. ¥$ will headline the upcoming 2024 Rolling Loud California festival.

“I’ma keep it a buck. At first, I was upset,” Mero told Carmelo Anthony and Joe Budden. “It’s the business. There’s no friends in the business. We were in a situation where I got four kids and two mortgages. I’m like, ‘Yo, if we get an offer from DraftKings for $1.5 [million] before they got logos on the NBA court, and you’re like, ‘Nah, bro this ain’t it.'”

The Bronx-raised comedian continued, “And I’m like, ‘Nah fam, I’m gambling illegally right now. This s### is legal in Jersey…  And they’re like, ‘Nah?’ I’m like, ‘F### out of here!’ To me, that’s the beginning of like, ‘Alright, this s### is corroding.'” 

The Kid Mero Claims Desus Nice Turned Down Big Opportunity With Film Industry Kingmaker

Mero went on to say his goal was to establish a production company and own their intellectual property. He then stated his desire to license the IP but not sell it. The former Uncommon Sense cast member also claimed Desus turned down a movie opportunity with Hollywood producer Judd Apatow.

Desus Nice took to X to respond to The Kid Mero’s explanation for the Bodega Boys dissolution. The part-time guest host for Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Daily Show posted a gif of someone carrying a big cap, signifying he believed Mero lied on 7PM in Brooklyn.

TLC’s Chilli Responds After USHER Admits She “Broke His Heart” By Rejecting Marriage Proposal 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

TLC singer Chilli has reportedly responded to a recent interview by ex-boyfriend Usher, who claims she rejected his marriage proposal and broke his heart. 

The former superstar couple dated in the early 2000s before splitting in late 2004. While both have long since moved on, Usher claims their relationship left him “not trusting women or wanting to open up.” 

He shed light on their romance during an interview with PEOPLE, published earlier this week, February 15. 

However, the outlet claims a source close to Chilli stated the 52-year-old singer “is unbothered by the recent hoopla involving her past relationship.” 

Usher was smitten with Chilli from a young age. “I was her No. 1 fan, and she was my superstar,” he said, referencing the “Superstar” lyrics.  

 “At the age of 8, I put her poster on my wall and said, ‘Man that girl is so beautiful. One day I’m going to meet her.’ ” 

Usher finally got the girls of his dreams, but things didn’t work out, and the pair split in 2004.  

“I was a young man, and she had very specific rules that didn’t work for me,” Usher explained. “We were missing each other. I really did want to have a different type of relationship where she was there with me, and she couldn’t be. She didn’t believe that I was actually in love with her as much as I was.” 

While he can admit “I hurt her too,” Usher claims the split “broke my heart.” 

“I wanted to marry her,” he said, adding that she turned down his proposal. “I went through a great deal of pain after that, not trusting women or wanting to open up.” 

Now, Usher is happy with his long-term girlfriend Jenn Goicoechea. He recently confirmed their secret Vegas wedding which took place on the same day he headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

50 Cent is doubling down on his support for Terrence Howard after he spoke out about how little he was paid for his role in Hustle & Flow. 

The G-Unit founder took to Instagram with a clip of Howard claiming he received $12,000 for his role in the Oscar-winning movie. He also received a Best Actor nomination for his portrayal of “Djay“ in the film and appeared on the soundtrack. However, he never received any royalty payments for his songs.  

Howard explains the situation in a November interview with WREG News Channel 3. 

“What Paramount did, instead of putting my name as ‘Terrence Howard’ performing the songs, they put ‘performed by Djay.’ Well, they owned Djay,” he explained. “So now I’ve gotta sue Paramount or send them a letter to say, ‘Hey, you guys owe me about 20 years’ worth of residuals and performance royalties.’” 

According to Howard, he was paid a mere $12,000 for his starring role. “Now I got to sue them or send them a letter,” he stated. “The business don’t pay actors anything — that’s why the strike is going on. Actors are struggling.”

He’s also publicly offered assistance to Howard’s Empire co-star Taraji P. Henson, on multiple occasions. He claimed he could help Henson following her emotional viral interview about the pay gap between black actresses in Hollywood.  

Drake Dubbed “Modern-Day Michael Jackson” By Cam’ron

Cam’ron is heaping praise on Drake and defending him against the hate he gets for being a Dipset superfan. 

The Harlem native opened up about the OVO honcho’s love of Dipset and addressed the hate Drake receives for it while talking with GQ for his cover shoot. Drizzy donned Cam’ron’s iconic pink fur when he performed at the Apollo last year and brought the group onstage to perform with him. 

Drake was criticized for wearing the fur, but Cam’ron said there’s nothing wrong with paying homage. 

“It’s no different from anybody else just trying to show love,” Killa Cam reflected. “A rapper that’s younger than me who grew up watching what we did. I f###### grew up wanting to get a chain because EPMD had the gold link going on, or Big Daddy Kane‘s rope chain.”  

Furthermore, Cam considers the Toronto superstar this generation’s Michael Jackson, but with added rapping skills. 

“When it’s somebody of Drake’s magnitude, you ought to show love,” Cam’ron shared. “A lot of people want to criticize and say he’s [too] commercial. He’s the modern-day Michael Jackson that can also rap. You got to realize the type of run he’s on.”   

Drake isn’t the only person trying to get their hands on Cam’ron’s pink fur. He’s turned down multiple offers, including one for $300,000, and believes the coat belongs in a museum. 

“The coat got its own personality — people wanna put it in museums,” he said during an appearance on Kevin Durant’s Boardroom last January. “So, the fur comes out once in a while if it make sense. But you know, for the Drake show being at the Apollo, I thought it would be cool to bring out.”

In the fast-paced world of SEO and digital marketing, businesses and content creators face a significant challenge: standing out in a crowded market. They have, however, emerged with an effective strategy—utilizing guest posting and sponsored content—to boost online visibility; this directly addresses the difficulties associated not only with achieving organic reach but also establishing authority in our competitive digital environment. Moreover–it facilitates climbing search engine rankings.

Crafting content for another site through guest posting–typically a platform with higher domain authority than yours–enables you to connect directly with the host’s audience. This strategic approach not only fosters engagement, but also allows traffic funnel back to your own website via backlinks. On the other hand, featuring your work on a platform as sponsored content offers an efficient method: it provides paid exposure and capitalizes on the credibility of the host site; thereby engaging target audiences more directly.

On the other hand, you can pay for sponsored content to feature your material on a platform. This method directly leverages the host site’s credibility and audience, thereby reaching your target group with precision.

What Does Guest Posting Mean?

Writing and publishing an article on another person’s website or blog is what guest posting entails. This method allows you to engage with new readers and promote your name. Website owners, on the other hand, use guest posts as a means of providing their readership with fresh content; for the guest writer – it opens doors for exposure opportunities and backlinks that can enhance SEO efficiency and bolster their own site’s credibility.  

Addressing a Crowded Market with Guest Posts:

 
  • New or even established players face significant challenges in garnering recognition within the crowded digital market. These primary issues encompass:
  • The everchanging algorithms of search engines and social media platforms increasingly restrict the organic reach: a phenomenon we term ‘Limited Organic Reach’.
  • Establishing your website as a trustworthy and authoritative source on specific topics is not only crucial, but also poses significant challenges.
  • Strategic effort and the cultivation of high-quality backlinks are essential: they improve your website’s search engine ranking–a crucial factor for visibility.

 

Guest posting and sponsored content directly address these issues by:

  1. Expanding Reach: By harnessing the host site’s established visitor base, they enable you to reach a broader audience.
  2. Building Authority and Trust: Your brand’s credibility amplifies, positioning you as an expert in your field–all through the merit of being featured on reputable sites.
  3. Enhancing SEO: Search engines perceive your website as valuable when it receives high-quality backlinks from guest posts and sponsored content; consequently, this recognition enhances its ranking.
 

Key Benefits and Features

 

Targeted Audiences:

  • These strategies—by placing your content directly in front of engaged, relevant audiences—heighten the probability of attracting interested visitors to your site.
  • Your brand achieves essential awareness and recognition through exposure by appearing on well-established platforms; this is what we term as Enhanced Brand Visibility.
  • These methods yield valuable backlinks that enhance your site’s domain authority and search rankings, providing SEO advantages.
  • By utilizing sponsored content, you exercise control over the narrative concerning your brand; this ensures alignment of messaging with both–your predetermined goals and inherent values.
 

Implementing Guest Posting or Sponsored Content with AllHipHop

Vince Staples’ new show, “The Vince Staples Show” premiered on Netflix this week, and the 30-year-old rapper and actor wants viewers to know they can expect to see something new, yet familiar.

Staples, Ian Edelman and Maurice Williams serve as creators and executive producers on the project, and additional executive producers include Kenya Barris, Corey Smyth and William Stefan Smith.

Recurring cast members of the series include Vanessa Bell Calloway and Andrea Ellsworth, with guest stars Naté Jones, Arturo Castro, Scott MacArthur, Bryan Greenberg and Myles Bullock.

Staples expressed much excitement around finally bringing the eponymous series to fruition.

“Who’s Vince Staples? Well that’s a tricky question. He’s kind of famous, but he’s not. He’s kind of rich, but he’s not. He’s also kind of a criminal. But he’s…not? Follow him on his daily adventures, where anything that can go wrong usually does.”

AllHipHop’s Rea Davis spoke with Vince Staples about what viewers can expect from the show, handling adversity on and off screen, advice for up-and-coming rappers and more.

AllHipHop: What can viewers expect from “The Vince Staples Show?”

Vince Staples: I think you can expect something new. A new experience; a lot of commentary on things we probably all deal with. You know, it’s not out of anyone’s reach. It’s just the human experience, what it’s like to be, you know, just alive. What it’s like to have family. What it’s like to have friends. What’s it’s like to kind of be between a rock and a hard place, and just trying to get through a day, which we all can experience. I don’t think that “The Vince Staples Show” is out of anybody’s reach. It’s like we’re dealing with issues that people deal with everyday. Just trying to get through a day can be a lot for a lot of people, so this is just our take on that. It’s a day in the life and different things that life can throw your way and how you try to navigate those things.

AllHipHop: I feel like with your personality, you’re the perfect person to bring tales of satire to life, so how did the idea come about?

Vince Staples: It’s just been an idea that we’ve had for a long time. 2015/2016, it was just a small idea that we took some meetings on. Kinda had to work through, and then we eventually got the opportunity to do it through Kenya’s production company with Netflix, and then COVID hit. After COVID, we picked up, and so I’m very grateful to be able to do that. Around that time, a lot of stuff ended up getting the can, so just being able to get a date and things of that nature, I’m very happy with. But yeah, it was just a small idea that we tried to bring to fruition, and here we are. 

AllHipHop: It seems like things often go left in life and in the show. So, how do you handle adversity in the show, and how do you handle adversity in real life?

Vince Staples: I think pretty much the same way. Just take it on the chin, and just try to find kinda where you fit, and try to find a happy medium. I’m a pretty easy going person contrary to popular belief, so I feel like a lot of times I end up in unique situations. You just gotta know that it’s all a part of life. I think with me, I just try to understand where everybody’s coming from, and just try to make sure everybody gets home feeling like they did whatever they could to have the best day possible.

AllHipHop: I saw Rick Ross makes a cameo. Should we expect any other celebrity cameos in it?

Vince Staples: I mean maybe, maybe not. We’ll know. We’re on the first season, so we gonna try to get many, many more people to be involved with this show. We got some really, really good people and some really distinguished actors. Some landmarks; we got some stuff. 

AllHipHop: As you’re still a rapper in this series, what advice would you give up-and-coming rappers?

Vince Staples: I mean make whatever you want to make. Make sure that anything you create is important to you. Be financially responsible. Be content with your life, and the things you put out into the world. That’s pretty much it. 

AllHipHop: What’s next for you? 

Vince Staples: After releasing this show, see how people feel. Just a lot more creativity, a lot more music, a lot more film and television stuff, you know and trying to live as peaceful and as positive of a life as possible. That’s kind of where I’m at right now. 

SIGNS: Maggots On A Plane Is Real—Not Samuel L. Jackson Film Remake

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors

Unlike the nightmare-turned-film Snakes On A Plane starring Samuel L. Jackson, maggots on a plane really happened.

The terrifying occurrence apparently went down on a recent Delta Airlines flight scheduled to fly from Amsterdam to Detroit. According to an account from a passenger provided to Fox2Detroit, he saw about a dozen maggots, not snakes, fall from an overhead bin and land on a female passenger seated next to him.

While maggots didn’t start spewing from every overhead and or cabin storage orifice in the plane like the movie, the source of the issue was nearly as unsettling. Apparently, flight attendants discovered the maggots were the result of a passenger’s carry-on bag, which contained “rotten fish” wrapped in newspaper.

Of course, the plane diverted back to Amsterdam and was taken out of service for cleaning. What happened to the woman you ask? Users on Twitter (X) are speculating Delta offered the woman compensation in the form of a $30 meal voucher and a measly 8,000 miles.

Sonny Digital Isn’t Impressed By Apple Vision Pro— Neither Is Mark Zuckerberg

Both Sonny Digital and Mark Zuckerberg are not convinced Apple Vision Pro is a superior augmented, virtual reality device.

On Valentine’s Day, Digital shared his thoughts on the headset via Twitter (X) in which he criticized the price and influence of Apple products in comparison to other tech on the market. In particular, Digital appeared to advocate for the meta-backed oculus Quest 3 VR headset instead.

“Prime example of everyone being followers is the Apple Vision Pro,” Digital wrote in the tweet. “I’m not sure how everyone just came up with 3500$ to spend on a product that is essentially already out , the Oculus Quest 3 which is 650$. The Oculus has been out for years and people acting like the AVP is just something TOTALLY new. Only thing new is the extra 2800$ you have to spend.”

In another tweet, Digital continued to criticize the $3500 price point of the Apple Vision Pro, writing, “I hope y’all not out here putting Apple Vision Pro’s on y’all credit.”

Zuckerberg also appeared to rip Apple’s latest gadget in a lengthy video he shared on his personal Instagram page, which he shot with the Meta Quest 3 goggles. Like Digital, Zuck not only criticized the hefty price tag, he also determined that the Apple Vision Pro was essentially heavier and less capable than the Meta Quest 3.

Check out Zuckerberg’s for review of the Apple Vision Pro below.

Kanye West’s “Vultures” Album Plucked From Streaming Services Amid Distro Dispute

By: Kyle Eustice Updated Category: News

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s collaborative album, Vultures 1, has been pulled from Apple Music and iTunes. The move comes shortly after distribution company FUGA announced it was trying to have the project taken down due to a violation of its service agreement.

In a statement to Billboard, FUGA explained it had already refused to host the album, but a “longstanding” FUGA client went around the company’s back and uploaded it anyway.

Vultures 1 has already received hefty amounts of criticism and threats of legal action. West allegedly sampled several songs from multiple artists without permission. The track “Good (Don’t Die)” was removed from Spotify on Wednesday (February 14) after Donna Summer’s estate accused him of “copyright infringement” by sampling her 1977 track, “I Feel Love.”

On February 9, Ozzy Osbourne revealed West had used a sample of the 1983 Black Sabbath performance of “Iron Man” in the track “Carnival.” Both Osbourne and his wife Sharon, who cited West’s history of antisemitism, threatened legal action. It was ultimately scrubbed from the Spotify version of the song.

For now, Vultures 1 remains on Spotify. Despite the circus surrounding the release (let’s be honest, no one is surprised), it’s still expected to land at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 next week, according to HITS Daily Double. The album is projected to move around 140,000 total album-equivalent units in its opening week.

On Wednesday night, West addressed the controversy surrounding Taylor Swift and the rumor she had him removed from a Super Bowl suite via Instagram. At the same time, he chided the Swifties, Swift’s rabid fanbase, for  encouraging them to stream Beyoncé’s new singles to keep him from the top spot.

He wrote: “WHEN I SAID THAT I’M THE NEW JESUS B#### I WASN’T EVEN THINKING ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT. THAT WAS A WHOLE LINE BEFORE BUT I APPRECIATE THE FREE PROMO. LIL WAYNE ACTUALLY MENTIONS TRAVIS KELSEY ON VULTURES 2. THIS ALBUM IS ACTUALLY SUPER POSITIVE AND FUN IT’S ALL ABOUT TRIUMPHANT. LAST YEAR WAS INCREDIBLY CHALLENGING FOR ME, MY WIFE, MY CHILDREN, FRIENDS AND FAMILY. I’VE BEEN BANNED FROM HOTELS, KICKED OUT OF COMPANIES, AND EVEN NOT ALLOWED TO EAT IN SOME RESTAURANTS.

“EVERYONE SAW VULTURES 1 GET TAKEN OFF OF PLATFORMS TO LIMIT OUR FIRST WEEK NUMBERS. THIS REMINDS ME OF THE MISTREATMENT OF MY PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN. REMEMBER I WAS ON TAYLOR’S SIDE WHEN SCOOTER BOUGHT HER MASTERS BEHIND HER BACK. SHE AND BEYONCÉ ARE BIG INSPIRATIONS TO ALL MUSICIANS WE ALWAYS SAY HOW BOTH SELL OUT TOURS AND MOVIES ALSO, I’M SURE I’VE BEEN FAR MORE HELPFUL TO TAYLOR SWIFT’S CAREER THAN HARMFUL.”

West continued: “TO ALL TAYLOR SWIFT FANS I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY UUUM IM NOT YOUR FRIEND EITHER THOUGH LOL. ALSO I DIDN’T GET KICKED OUT OF THE SUPER BOWL WE LEFT OUR SEATS TO GO TO YG’S BOX AND SEE DIFFERENT FRIENDS. MY WIFE HAD NEVER BEEN TO A SUPER BOWL SO I WANTED TO WALK AROUND AND HAVE A NICE TIME. WE HAD SUCH A FUN DAY.”
