Ye a.k.a Kanye West is a groundbreaking artist, a pioneer, and an undeniable force in the music industry. However, even his genius does not shield him from his familiar patterns. Be it with the release of 'Donda' or 'Vultures,' West has consistently followed a conduct limbo, with his unpredictable social media behavior standing out the most. While his fans have grown accustomed to these unexpected outbursts and surprises, his recent Instagram purge—leaving only a single post—hints at a new era, one that hopefully does not involve Taylor Swift.

Ye has gone MIA on Instagram several times before, but this one signals the vulture is about to land on something fresh.

Ye, known for his elusive social media behavior, has once again wiped his entire Instagram feed amid the global ‘Vultures’ listening parties. While he has gone AWOL from socials multiple times since his musical resurgence and social media comeback for ‘Vultures’, this time he did not delete his account but simply removed all content, leaving only the announcement poster for the solo listening event scheduled in Haikou City, Hainan Province, China on September 15. 

Given this follows the update on the Atlanta rapper's new solo album, it is hard not to view the action as anything but deliberate, especially since Ye’s moves are often wrapped in layers of intrigue, much like one of his arch-nemesis. As a result, with Ye leaving only the poster of his solo performance amidst the excitement surrounding a solo album, the ‘Vultures’ showrunner is probably already in Phase 1 of the transition from the duo’s jitters to a solo comeback.

The NFR Podcast on X recently shared a statement from Channel Candy’s CEO, who works with Ye to create iconic listening experiences. The report disclosed that the Atlanta rapper plans to host another event in October to replicate the success of the Korean LP’s launch in Goyang. However, what resonated most with fans was the implication that the reception Ye received in Goyang Gongyeon could influence the release of a new album amid the ‘Vultures’ phenomenon.

The report also revealed that the rapper is now more committed than ever to staging additional performances and releasing new albums, with a hint that the upcoming record might be a Channel Candy exclusive. With his latest social media update following the most exciting news to date, Ye’s return to his familiar social media behavior could be the first step in uncorking a bottle of surprises he has yet to unveil.
