This revelation comes in response to remarks made by hip-hop veteran Erick Sermon earlier in the month. Sermon hinted at West's involvement in a project titled 'Y3,' indicating a potential collaboration. However, West's latest statement suggests otherwise, refuting any plans for such an album.

Despite the speculation surrounding 'Y3,' West remains focused on his ongoing projects. His recent album release, 'Vultures 1,' in collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign, has garnered significant success, topping the Billboard 200 chart for two consecutive weeks. The duo is set to follow up with 'Vultures 2' and 'Vultures 3' on March 8 and April 5, respectively, further solidifying their presence in the music industry.

As Kanye West continues to navigate his musical journey, it's evident that he remains committed to innovation and evolution. With each project, he challenges perceptions and pushes boundaries, cementing his legacy as one of hip-hop's most influential figures.
