During the concert, West also debuted a new version of 530, a song from Vultures 2, which fans call a finished version because it included a second verse.
You haven’t given the public any idea when the Bully album would be released, but if it follows the same route as the two Vultures projects, it will be plagued with delays.
Vultures was delayed for months before finally being released on February 10. The second Vultures project was initially scheduled for release on March 8, but was pushed back to August 3.
The first was pushed back months before its inevitable release on February 10, while the second was initially set to release on March 8 before finally hitting streaming services on August 3.

He sang ‘f**k Adidas’ and encouraged the crowd to join him before playing Can’t Tell Me Nothing, another hit from his third studio album, Graduation.
