US musician Kanye West was a long time coming with his album release. Now he presented his new work – in a stadium.
Atlanta – Rapper Kanye West presented his new album “Donda” to the public for the first time in the usual cocky manner.
According to media reports, the 44-year-old played the tracks of his tenth studio album at a sold-out event at a stadium in Atlanta, Georgia last night. West himself was also there: Videos circulating on the Internet showed him walking around the field of the arena without a word, sometimes pointing to the audience or getting on his knees.
Despite the ongoing divorce, his wife Kim Kardashian was also present with their children. Superstar Jay-Z was also heard in a song, according to the media – this surprised some given the estrangement between the two in recent years.
“Donda”, named after West’s deceased mother, was supposed to be officially released today. At first, however, the album was a long time coming on various streaming portals. Fans of Kanye West joked that the rap star has built an image of never getting his music ready on time. Actually, “Donda” should have been released last summer. dpa
