Marking a strong comeback to the musical arena, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, indeed has plans for the next volumes of his Ty Dolla $ign collaboration, ‘Vultures’. However, throwing a tone of puzzling confusion, the rapper’s latest move has become hard to dissect. At a time when the world of hip-hop has found itself split over some of its biggest names, including the ‘Donda’ singer, engaging in diss and counter-mentions, an unexpected collaboration has started to brew through.

In what could have several interpretations for each, the singer just went a step ahead in forging a crossover alliance.

A few hours down the line, Ye found himself embroiled in Sheck Wes' accusations of him copying his ‘Mo Bamba’ beats for ‘Carnival’. Fresh after brushing them off with an implied story, the rapper dropped a screenshot of his text with a short-form video creator, Tra Rags. Within minutes of him posting the same on his Instagram stories, screenshots of the two interacting via Face-Time flooded on X, capturing Ye sporting his titanium grille smile.

The content creator, Traquan Ragsdale, boasts over 1.5 million followers on TikTok and also has an active fan base on Instagram and YouTube. There are two featuring Apple Music credits in the name of Trarags. However, they stand unverified as his content stands distinctly separate from the rest, with him running popular under the monikers of Menace To Society and Red Shirt Guy.

In terms of his musical ingress, Ye can stand solidly bold as his latest album just scripted fresh highs.

A few years down the line, Ye stood at a valuation worth more than a whopping $6 billion. Despite the fall of his net worth to a current estimation of somewhere north of $400 million, the rap mogul has shown unabated determination to claim it back. Marking his first steps towards the same, ‘Carnival’ from his ‘Vultures 1’ album went on to become the best-selling hip-hop single in the US in 2024.

With 168 million streams and 18,000 complete copies selling out, the album set a new bar for Ye and his team of collaborators. Furthermore, with the delayed ‘Vultures 2’ now looking at a May 3 release and expected to feature a line-up of new artists, the mega-comeback may soon come back within grasping distance.
