Lil Durk Reacts Following His Removal from Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s ‘Vultures’ Single

Lil Durk isn’t taking getting cut from Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s latest joint “Vultures” lightly, and he’s making his feelings known.

Initially, the song debuted on Chicago radio with Durk dropping a verse, but when it hit streaming services on November 22, his contributions were mysteriously absent. The official version of “Vultures,” set to be part of Ye and Ty Dolla’s upcoming album, did include a guest verse from Bump J.

Durk seemed to respond to the situation via his Instagram Stories, writing: “Be lucky I’m humble; look at it as your blessing.”

Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, and Bump J have remained tight-lipped about why Durk’s verse got the boot. Still, this decision hasn’t sat well with fans who believe the “All My Life” star stole the show with his verse.

One user vented on social media: “Crazy that Lil Durk got kicked off Kanye West’s Vultures even tho he carried and had the best verse.”

Another fan chimed in: “Why did Kanye get rid of the Durk verse? That was the best part of the song.”

When “Vultures” first hit the airwaves on WPWX Power 92 Chicago on November 17, it quickly stirred controversy due to its lyrical content. In the track, Kanye addresses accusations of antisemitism by rapping: “How I’m antisemitic? I just ed a Jewish b.”

Kanye West has faced criticism for making antisemitic remarks in various public appearances, even praising Adolf Hitler during an interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

During the controversial interview, West stated: “Well, I see good things about Hitler, also. I love everyone, and Jewish people are not gonna tell me… ‘You can love us, and you can love what you’re doing to you with the contracts, and you can love what we’re pushing with the pornography.’

“But this guy that invented highways, invented the very microphone that I use as a musician—You can’t say out loud that this person ever did anything good, and I’m done with that. I’m done with the classifications, every human being has something of value that they brought to the table. Especially Hitler!”

Adding fuel to the fire, West took a shot at his former manager Scooter Braun — who is the grandson of Holocaust survivors — on “Vultures” with the line: “I just ed Scooter’s b and we ran up like Olympics/Got pregnant in the threesome so whose baby is it?”

What do you think about the decision to remove Lil Durk’s verse from Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s song “Vultures”? How do you think it might affect the reception of the song?
