Kanye West, the enigmatic rapper and fashion mogul, has once again made headlines—this time for a heartwarming gesture toward his longtime business manager, John Monopoly. The occasion? Monopoly’s 48th birthday celebration, which took place at an intimate dinner attended by Yeezy himself, along with his wife, Bianca Censori, and other close friends.
In a video that surfaced on Friday, August 2, Monopoly can be seen shaking his head in disbelief as he holds up a Tesla Cybertruck key card. His emotional reaction is captured on camera as he exclaims to the room, “He gave me a car!” However, Kanye playfully corrects him, emphasizing, “It’s not a car; it’s a truck.”
Monopoly, clearly moved by the generous gift, manages to hold back tears, saying, “This dude right here is trying to make me cry.” He points at Kanye and adds, “I’m not gonna cry this time.” The two share a heartfelt hug, with Kanye quipping, “Only John can get this shit.”
But that’s not all Kanye had in store for fans. Despite previous delays, his highly anticipated album, Vultures 2, was expected to drop on the same night. However, the project remains unreleased, leaving fans eagerly awaiting its arrival.
A since-deleted update on Kanye’s Yeezy website revealed a tracklist for Vultures 2, featuring 14 song titles. While the list doesn’t specify any guest features, rumors abound that artists like Lil Wayne, Future, Young Thug, Lil Baby, Playboi Carti, Lil Durk, and Don Toliver may appear on various tracks. The album’s unconventional release strategy—skipping streaming services entirely and being sold exclusively through Kanye’s website—has only added to the anticipation.
Despite the setbacks, Ty Dolla $ign, who collaborates with Kanye on Vultures 2, has assured fans that the project is still on track. During a livestream with controversial Russian YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy in May, Ty confidently stated, “It’s dropping ASAP. Vultures 2 is on the way. It’s coming soon. Any day now.”
As we await the album’s official release, Kanye West continues to surprise and intrigue, proving that his creativity knows no bounds.
