If reports are to be believed Kanye is also building a replica of his childhood home within Soldier Field, while legally changing his name to “Ye.” In the past 39 days, instead of receiving Kanye’s 10th studio album, we’ve been subjected to hearing one unfinished project and a more polished (if slightly overproduced) follow-up, a livestream of Kanye reenacting scenes from the 2005 hit show Prison Break, master publicist Justin Laboy #respectfully stoking the chaos by announcing Watch the Throne 2, and the reignition of a Drake-West–Pusha T beef that’s as wanted as the next COVID variant. Considering West reportedly made $7 million in merch sales off the first show-and with his streams skyrocketing even in the absence of new music-it wouldn’t be surprising if it were the latter. When news broke last week that West was moving his stadium high jinks to Chicago on Thursday night for his third listening event for his (allegedly) forthcoming album Donda, the whole enterprise started to feel like an elaborate piece of performance art or a giant money-laundering scheme. If the venom doesn’t get you, the cool black liquid filling your lungs will. In late July, standing in the middle of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium with a stocking cap over his head, Kanye was about to do something he hadn’t accomplished since 2004: He was going to let the music-no matter how undercooked-speak for itself.īut being a Kanye fan is akin to being a frog carrying a scorpion across the deepest body of water. Like a roving phantom, he popped up at NBA Finals games, private listening parties, and football stadiums, refusing to say a word. The disappearance of the MAGA hats, the Kardashian clan, and the traveling church group gave West’s most ardent detractors few threads to grasp, but Kanye’s uncharacteristic silence proved to be the most useful rebrand of all. This happened by the Chicago artist simply doing less, one of the most antithetical moves of his entire career. Then this summer-whether intentionally or through happenstance-Kanye had become more likable than he’d been in five years. For someone to rise from the ashes, something needs to burn, and while the public’s respect for him over the past five years was highly combustible, West’s career (and bank account) were flame-retardant. Like most billionaires, he didn’t need one. Kanye West is yet to announce a new release date for his Donda album.Kanye was on the precipice of a comeback. The next listening party for Kanye West’ ‘Donda’, will be taking place next week in Chicago! /uaHleetKEmĮarlier this month it was reported that Ka圜yy Pluto - who has been giving unofficial updates on Donda alongside Justin Laboy - wrote in a now-deleted tweet, "We moving to another stadium." If it’s true, then Kanye will be performing in Chicago at soldier field on the 26th #DONDA /UgeOFiRIuX I work for security at soldier field and we recently had an event added under “major concert event” and I’m very confident that it’s for Kanye’s listening party. While an official release date is yet to be confirmed by Kanye West himself, rumours suggest that he's due to host a third listening party event in Chicago, after having hosted two listening parties at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium over the past month. Earlier this month (6 August) Kanye West was expected to release his Donda album after it got delayed from its original release date of 23 July, but after 6 August the iTunes and Apple Music pre-order pages for the record were updated, showing that it had been pushed back.
