Kanye cries after ‘losing family’ at ‘Donda’ party with Kim

Fans might want to get old Kanye back – but his streak of exit drama is really getting old.

After hosting a listening party at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Thursday night for “Donda” – an event broadcast live on Apple Music – Kanye West was expected to release his highly anticipated 10th solo studio album around midnight on Friday. .

But a few hours later, “Donda” was still nowhere to be found on Apple Music and other streaming outlets. Of course, with Kanye being Kanye, the LP could still arrive anytime on Friday.

So, yes, we might have hours of waiting and wonder and refreshment ahead of us.

But West, 44, wearing a face mask, actually showed up at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Thursday night to play “Donda” – named after his beloved mother Donda West, who died in 2007. Shaquille O ‘ Neal, CeeLo Green, Big Boi and Jadakiss were among the stars present at the event.

And West also got family support from ex Kim Kardashian, 40 – who brought their children North, 8, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2 – as well as sister Khloe Kardashian, 37 years.

Still, West clearly didn’t get over the breakup: he became emotional while performing “Love Unconditionally” while crying as he rapped about “the loss of my family.”

“Donda” also features guests such as Travis Scott, Playboi Carti and, surprisingly, Jay-Z – who, apparently crushing the feud with his ex-bestie, reportedly recorded his verse for the album’s last track at the last minute. earlier Thursday.

It’s a reunion of the two hip-hop heavyweights, who released an entire album together, “Watch the Throne”, in 2011.

West’s new LP also includes “No Child Left Behind,” a song that was played in the Apple commercial featuring track star Sha’Carri Richardson that aired in the NBA Finals on Tuesday night and announced the release of the album.

“Donda” is the sequel to the 2019 Grammy-winning gospel tour “Jesus Is King” for Best Contemporary Christian Album. And like “Donda”, “Jesus and King” – as well as its two predecessors, “The Life of Pablo” of 2016 and “Ye” of 2018 – failed to fall smoothly and punctually.
