West recently invited fans for a listening party for his upcoming album and shared several songs.

According to reports, "Vultures" will boast a star-studded list of collaborators including Kodak Black, Playboi Carti, Chris Brown Freddie Gibbs, and more.

It also seems like West included a Nicki Minaj-assisted track called "New Body," which was released several years back.

"Vultures" is West's first album in three years since "Donda" in 2021, and it also happens to be his first release since spewing his antisemitic sentiments online.

There have been many skepticism and criticism directed towards the rapper, but it seems like he is not going to let up any time soon.

His sentiments about antisemitism were also reflected in his upcoming release. Netizens expressed their concern: "This isn't Kanye and I would say it's AI. Where's the real Kanye?"

"JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND HES LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM.. WHERE IS YE," another added in reference to his "Jesus is King" album.

"Three volumes? Bro gonna go through hell, purgatory, and heaven. Calling it now."

"Find God, Ye."
