Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures 2 album was released just six days ago, but it’s already running into trouble.
Yesterday, Ye shared a text message that he received from his manager, John Monopoly, about Atlantic wanting to be paid for Travis’ Contributions since he’s their artist.

“Co-head of Atlantic Julie Greenwald just called me. She just got fired. She said the new head is not going to give us a grace period to handle Atlantic’s compensation,” reads Monopoly’s message. “She suggested that I let Too Lost and Create know that 40% of all revenue from V1 and V2 needs to be paid to Atlantic. She’s saying that if we don’t handle immediately Atlantic will issue take downs for both albums. Pls advise.”
Ye captioned Monopoly’s message with just a few words.
“This is what ‘they’ do to independent artists,” wrote Ye since Vultures 1 and 2 were released independently through his YZY brand.
