Published

on

Vultures 1, the latest album by controversial rapper, Kanye West has been pulled down just five days after its debut, after being hit by copyright infringement issues.

On Thursday afternoon, the album was removed from Apple Music and iTunes, where the song Carnival held the No. 1 slot on the Top 100: Global chart.

The move comes amid reports the Vultures 1 distributor is working to remove it from all streaming services after Kanye reportedly uploaded it to various platforms without permission, according to Billboard.

The album was first hit with streaming issues on Wednesday when Spotify removed the track Good (Don’t Die) due to claims of ‘copyright infringement’ made by Donna Summer’s estate.

The distributor, FUGA, said in a statement today: ‘On Friday, February 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.”

As of now, the album continues to be accessible on Spotify; however, the track Good (Don’t Die) is currently unplayable on the platform.

This comes after the Rolling Loud music festival announced Kanye and his Vultures 1 collaborator Ty Dolla Sign as the headliners for their March 14 concert in Inglewood, CA.

It also follows Donna Summer’s estate accusing Kanye of using a sample of her song without consent on Good (Don’t Die).

The rapper reportedly incorporated a version of the late singer’s 1977 hit I Feel Love into the track.

The official Instagram page of the late singer claimed Kanye’s prior request to use the song had been rejected.

‘Kanye West…asked permission to use Donna Summer’s song I Feel Love,’ read the account’s post on Instagram Stories. ‘He was denied…he changed the words, had someone re-sign [sic] it or used AI but it’s I Feel Love…copyright infringement!!!’

Published

By

Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has revealed that he was once sexually interested in popular crossdresser, Idris Okunneye, also known as Bobrisky.

Portable disclosed that he entered into Bobrisky’s DM on social media with the intention of asking him out and eventually sleeping with him.

The singer, who made the disclosure during a recent interview with Echo Room, however, added that he wasn’t aware Bobrisky was a man at the time he was planning to sleep with him.

Portable added that he backed out of the plan after discovering Bobrisky is a man and not a woman.

Naija News reports the singer disclosed further that he is a friend of Bobrisky and has advised the cross dresser to stop portraying himself as a woman.

He said, “Bobrisky is my friend, but we had issues because I advised him to be a better person. I advised him to stop portraying himself as a woman because it is against the will of God.

“I aimed to toast Bobrisky and have sex with him, not knowing that he’s not a woman.

“If I offend Bobrisky, he should forgive me because I’m someone who always lives to speak the truth always.”

You’ll Still Be Dealt With – Saheed Osupa Lash Back at Portable

Published

Fuji music legend Saheed Osupa has reignited his feud with street-pop star Portable, declaring in a viral video that the younger artist will “still be dealt with”, but did not mention direct as to who he was referring to. This comes days after Portable publicly apologized for insulting Osupa during a copyright dispute.

In the clip, Osupa subtly warned Portable while performing, singing, “You will still be dealt with… If you come for someone older than you, area boys will deceive you. They’ll fry eggs for your bread, even prepare Yamarita—but your time is coming.” Though he didn’t mention Portable by name, fans quickly connected the dots.

The clash began on March 19 when Portable accused Osupa of reporting his song for copyright infringement after it sampled one of Osupa’s lines. Portable lashed out, calling the Fuji icon *”big for nothing,”* but backtracked a day later, pleading for forgiveness in a tearful video.

Despite Portable’s apology, Osupa’s latest remarks suggest the veteran musician hasn’t fully let go of the incident. The 55-year-old Fuji star, known for his sharp lyrics, delivered his message in his signature style—leaving fans speculating whether this feud is truly over.

Neither artist has issued an official statement, but the drama continues to spark reactions online. Will Portable respond, or has he learned his lesson? Only time will tell.
