Kanye West's collaborative album with Ty Dollar Sign was removed from streaming platforms just hours after its release. Billboard states that the new album, called Vultures 1, was taken down by many distributors on Thursday 15 Feb shortly after it landed.

However, early on Friday morning, the album re-appeared, meaning fans can now stream the album in full. But Ye has been met with some difficulties after Ozzy Osbourne and the estate of Donna Summer expressed their anger over his use of their music without their permission.
