More than ten producers involved in Kanye West's 'Vultures' projects claim they have yet to be compensated, leading to accusations of unfair business practices.

AceShowbiz - Kanye West, known for his controversial statements, has encountered further legal difficulties. Several producers who contributed to his "Vultures 1" and "Vultures 2" albums allege that they have not received payment for their services.

According to a report by Billboard, several music attorneys are collaborating to seek compensation for their clients, who claim that despite the albums' commercial success, they have not received any producer fees or royalties.

Music attorney Bob Celestin expressed frustration over the situation, stating, "It's unfortunate and unfair. You'd expect West, a producer himself, to be more empathetic to this kind of situation."

The producers on "Vultures 1" and "Vultures 2" have reportedly been unable to obtain signed agreements securing their payments, leaving them vulnerable to delayed or non-existent compensation.

Industry experts point out that payment delays for producers are a common issue, with delays often exceeding a year. Attorney Jason Berger explained, "In nine out of ten cases, producers haven't been paid by the time the music is released."

Compounding the delays are West's erratic business dealings, including frequent changes in legal representation and music distributors. Despite these challenges, West has continued to release new music, including the "Vultures" albums and the upcoming "Vultures 3".

The producers' claims raise concerns about the ongoing issue of unfair payment practices in the music industry and the specific challenges faced by producers. As West's legal battles continue, the unpaid producers await resolution and compensation for their contributions to his highly anticipated albums.
