As fans of Kanye West await the launch of his Vultures album

Even After &#8216;Vultures&#8217; Rave Controversy, Kanye West Still Pursues Backstreet Boys for a Sample

On his mission to reclaim his glory of being a rap mogul, Kanye West
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west] was all set to treat his fans to
his upcoming album, ‘Vultures’. After a long wait, the album’s release got
pushed back to January next year due to reasons not entirely clear. The major
speculation has been that ‘Vultures’ was stopped in its tracks due to two of its
tracks carrying samples, including one by Backstreet Boys, that the 46-year-old
did not have permission to use. 

Amidst all this, it seems that Ye and his team are still pushing hard to give
his fans what they want. 


YE’S TEAM IS MAKING EFFORTS TOWARDS THIS

A fan-run page on Twitter (previously X) had announced that West’s rendition of
Backstreet Boys’ 90s track, ‘Everybody’, from ‘Vultures’ would drop earlier
today. However, this did not happen. Now, the page has shared an update
revealing that DJ Pharris, who sang the vocals of Backstreet Boys’ song by the
same name as Ye’s version, is trying to clear the sample so the track can
launch.

When West took to Miami to unleash a rave that doubled as a listening party for
parts of his ‘Vultures’ album, one thing that sent fans over the moon was this
very version of ‘Everybody’

When later reports surfaced that he did not have permission to sample the
score’s beats, some felt it was reckless for a senior artist like West to use a
sample without the go-ahead from its owners.

As it turned out, Backstreet Boys was not the only artist wronged by West that
night. 


THE SIMILAR TUG-OF-WAR BETWEEN KANYE WEST AND NICKY MINAJ 

During the rave, another familiar voice that boomed through the speakers was
that of Nicki Minaj. Well, Ye had apparently used her ‘New Body’ track to
deliver a remix version by him and Ty Dolla $ign. Well, this did not sit well
with the Young Money Records singer. When she refused to allow the 24-time
Grammy winner to take this liberty, West even lashed out at her.

Ye was supposedly confused as to why Minaj was disallowing the use of her track
when he had always “supported” her. However, fans remained in the ‘Barbie World’
rapper’s corner as this went down on X

Whether she will give in to his wishes still remains to be seen. It looks like
the ‘Donda’ rapper is now going through similar motions to convince Backstreet
Boys to allow him to sample ‘Everbody’.
