Malik Yusef

Nearly a year after the release of his last full-length offering 'I Tape,' Vic Mensa returns with his latest project, the four-track EP 'Vino Valentino.'

Kanye has pushed—and completely scrapped—albums in the past, but this latest information from his friends comes just days after Ye played material in Atlanta.

According to court documents reviewed by Complex, Gentle Monster's lawsuit against Ye's associate Malik Yusef was dismissed back in February of this year.

Kanye West, Vic Mensa, and Pharrell Williams have teamed up with South Korean eyewear brand Gentle Monster to provide the soundtrack for their "Collection 13."

On Friday (Feb. 8), it was reported that a G.O.O.D. Music 'associate' had committed fraud using a forged Kanye West signature.

“I don’t do anything without Kanye’s blessing,” Yusef said, confirming that Kanye had signed off on the tour.

Yusef has been one of Kanye's close collaborators for going on 15 years.

"I think it was an oversimplification that Ye did,” Yusef says.

Chance The Rapper, Common, and Vic Mensa are reportedly also on board.

"Kanye is an enigmatic creature."

"We will be addressing any and all concerns about this recent set of events through the lens of selfhood on this Friday."
