Kanye West Launches News Platform ‘Yews’
Kanye West has started his own news platform called “Yews.” The platform at the moment is via an app, so there is no desktop version at this time, and can only be accessed through a mobile device. The app officially launched on Tuesday (Dec. 12).
It has three designated drop-down menus with the timestamps: “10AM,” “3PM,” and “8PM.” So far, the app covers news about Kanye, fashion, politics, and more.
Kanye & Ty Dolla $ign To Drop Joint Collab Vultures
During a surprise show in Miami on Monday morning (Dec. 11), Ye confirmed that his joint album with Ty Dolla $ign will be out this Friday (Dec. 15).
“It’s called Vultures. Coming out this Friday,” Ye said in the video.
He was joined onstage by Offset, Lil Durk, Chris Brown, and Kodak Black who are rumored to be guest features on the album.
The possible cover art for Vultures was revealed, which takes inspiration from an 1800s painting that shows a vulture perched on a shovel on top of a grave. The post also shows a version of the original painting in sepia. The painting was created by Caspar David Friedrich around 1835 – 1837.
One fan in particular did their own research on the painting, quoting an art site.
“His sepia drawing Landscape with Grave, Coffin, and Owl is symptomatic of the obsession with which Friedrich tracked death in the last years of his life. The eyes of the exaggeratedly large, surreal night bird glint in the light of the moon, which floats like a nimbus above the owl’s head,” a fan wrote, quoting the art site Web Gallery of Art. “Visible in the background is Cape Arkona on the island of Rügen, although in a different landscape setting. It is possible that the owl, while undoubtedly a bird of death, here also represents a symbol of wisdom,” another wrote.
Ye’s last album release was his 2022 Donda 2, which is only available through Stem Player. Ty’s last album featured Ty Dolla $ign, which was released in 2020.
Vultures is out Friday (Dec. 15).
