West held a public listening party for the "Donda" album on July 22 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The event was publicized in a Beats Studio Buds ad that aired during the NBA finals.


The initial listening party ended up breaking ‌Apple Music‌ livestreaming records with 3.3 million viewers tuning in. Even more ‌Apple Music‌ listeners participated in the second streaming event, which was held in Atlanta on August 5.

So far, West has been playing dramatically different versions of the album at each event, featuring new songs and new mixes.

West was initially expected to release the album after the August 5 Atlanta event, but that did not happen. There continues to be no release date for "Donda."

This guy does not respect his fans. Selling $100 tshirts and $50 chicken tenders to people in a stadium who want music from him, then he comes in playing music too loud for anyone to make anything out, and then when he said he was going to release his album, he just… doesn’t.

I used to like his music, but now I just can’t separate the music from the artist, so it’s all trash to me now.

I'd seriously rather have a root canal than go to this. Not sure why it's newsworthy either.

Why is Kanye still relevant? Why is this even a news? He's trolling, clearly.

Kanye is the KING OF TROLLING ?

Is he being serious this time?

I refuse to support an artist who is crazier than I am.

...yawn.

But hey, I hear he's a genius. Even he says he's a genius. So it must be true, yes?
