In a surprising turn of events, Kanye West, the renowned Chicago rapper, revealed his intention to retire from professional music via a screenshot shared on Instagram by Rich The Kid. The exchange between the two artists highlighted Kanye’s uncertainty about his future path outside of music.
“I’m retiring from professional music,” Ye’s text read, prompting Rich The Kid to question the decision. Rich expressed disbelief, emphasizing Kanye’s significant influence on contemporary culture through their collaborative work, particularly referencing their acclaimed tracks.
The news of Kanye’s retirement has sparked skepticism, given the frequent reversals of retirement announcements by artists in the past. If indeed true, this decision casts doubt on the release of the highly anticipated Vultures 2 album, a follow-up to the successful Vultures 1 released earlier this year. The initial album soared to the top of charts, buoyed by hits like “Carnival” featuring Playboi Carti and Rich The Kid.
Despite assurances from Ty Dolla $ign that the songs for Vultures 2 are ready, no concrete release date has been confirmed since earlier projections for May. Recently, Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign announced a Vultures listening event scheduled for August 23 in Korea, hinting at potential new developments despite Kanye’s retirement plans.
This announcement marks a pivotal moment for Kanye West fans and the music industry alike, as they await further clarity on Kanye’s future endeavors beyond music.
