Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign took the stage at Korea's Goyang Stadium for their much-anticipated "Vultures 2" listening party, an event that quickly became the talk of the music world. 

Among the highlights was Ye’s surprising dedication of his track "I Wonder" to Drake. 

This unexpected shoutout has led to widespread speculation among fans, with some interpreting it as a veiled diss, while others believe it was simply a way for Ye to reignite interest by invoking the name of his longtime rival. 

The debate continues to stir conversations online, with opinions split on Ye's true intentions.

But the surprises didn’t end there. During his performance of "24," Kanye took a moment to shout out Joe Budden, adding the cryptic phrase, "God's not finished." 

This has led many to speculate that Ye was addressing Budden’s past criticisms of him. Budden, however, took the mention in stride, responding on Instagram Live with humor. 

He reenacted the moment with a comedic twist, imagining the confusion of the Korean audience, and stated that he was approaching the situation with "peace and love," making it clear he wasn’t seeking any confrontation with Ye.

In addition to these moments, the event itself was a spectacle, with Ye and Ty Dolla Sign delivering a powerful performance that spanned a significant portion of their discography. 

The crowd was treated to over 70 tracks, including fan favorites like "Stronger," "Runaway," and "Famous." 

The atmosphere was electric, with the duo keeping the audience engaged with both the music and the unexpected shoutouts.

The night also included some controversy, as fans on social media debated the motivations behind Ye’s words. 

Some speculated that his actions were meant to provoke reactions and keep his name in the headlines, while others saw it as Ye simply being his unpredictable self. 

Regardless, the event has solidified "Vultures 2" as a focal point of discussion in the music community, leaving fans eager to see what Ye will do next.
