This week, Kanye West revolutionized the networks with an announcement: he would present his new album for the first time Vultures at the United Center stadium in Chicago.
At first fans thought it was a joke given the short notice with which he announced the big event, namely his first duo project with rapper Ty Dollar $ign.
However, tickets for Vulture listening experience They went on sale the same day and sold out in less than three hours. The prices ranged from 250 to 1000 dollars and it was not very clear what it was about.
This album was supposed to be released in December last year, and this was the fourth time the famous rapper rescheduled its release date. Thursday evening, however, fans were able to hear him live for the first timebut only those in the building could have the full experience.

It has not yet been uploaded to the platforms
After 12 songs, the show is over. It featured special appearances from several rappers, but the one that stood out the most was North West, daughter of Kanye and Kim Kardashian. At just 10 years old she went on stage and sang the song Speaking/One more time with his father.

But also because Kanye hadn’t released the album as he promised, and It was not yet available on streaming platforms..
The concert was also broadcast live, but there came a time when the presentation was interrupted. Apparently, whoever was monitoring the event hit the alert button and his voice cut off when he reached the part of one of his new songs that references his anti-Semitism.
Some fans, however, posted the full version of the song on X as they left the stadium. “And I’m still crazy, bipolar, anti-Semite. And I’m still the king,” raps the ever-controversial Kanye.
Due to the explicitness of the mention, the platform that broadcast the event quickly censored it and none of this was seen live during the event stream. Some fans speculate that this was already planned, because West’s disappearance from the screen was immediate and precise.
Another moment that sparked controversy during the show was when, in another of their new songs, he has been compared to other famous people who have been written offlike Bill Cosby, R. Kelly and Diddy.
Network performance
On the morning of Friday February 9, Kanye West was once again a trend on the networks. But surprisingly it wasn’t because of the controversial sayings or her eldest daughter’s debut as a rapper.
The cascade of memes and complaints was created entirely by his fans, who were disappointed because, once again, West’s new album hasn’t been released. This is already the fifth time this has happened, but the first in which the rapper has not provided any kind of explanation for the delay.
Some fans have started posting conspiracy theories and all indicate that this controversial album will never see the light of day.
