The artist formerly known as Kanye West took to his Instagram account to announce that he is no longer working with social media personality, influencer, and talent manager YesJulz.

"We have decided to no longer have YesJulz involved in the role out of Vultures," Ye's message, which has since been deleted, read. "All the activity on her page and with our fans in the past few days has been unauthorized."

YesJulz, real name Julieanna Goddard, has been working to promote Ye's new joint project with Ty Dolla Sign and has been present at several Vultures listening events that have been held in support of the albums.

The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 and achieved a slew of other chart-related wins. “It’s a beautiful time,” Ye told Complex in response to news of Vultures 1 debuting at No. 1.

Ye and Ty have announced that two more Vultures installments are slated to arrive in the near future. Vultures 2 was initially set to release on March 8 but has since been delayed.
