Is one even a Kanye West fan if one is not out of breath already? Countless leaks, near-confirmed rumors, live snippets, and all of it within the span of a few days are bound to have sent fans into overdrive. One of the biggest names in hip-hop, Ye certainly has the trait of making everything about him grand. Thus, when his upcoming album started to touch sky-high, he went ahead and booked an arena with 80,000-odd seats for a live concert.

As extravagant as the affair would have turned out to be, recent reports have popped up of the event, having been officially called off for October 13th. However, it is not out of the picture yet.

Kanye West postpones Italy live concert

Hardly a day after reports stated that Kanye West booked the Rcf Arena in Italy for a purported live listening party, new ones confirm that it has been rescheduled. While the original event was slated for October 13th, it has been pushed back by a week. As rushed as the reports came, it was inevitable for Ye and his team to run into technical constraints. The very same factor seems to have now affected the event, taking it away to October 20th.

Regardless, fans can still heave a sigh of relief, for West is still on track with an event. Moreover, if a listening party indeed does take place, then it would indeed be a ground-breaking moment for the rapper’s fans who have been waiting for more than seventeen months for his new tracks. Additionally, it shall also address the rumors of West working on two albums at once and the list of his collaborators besides Ty Dolla $ign.

Furthermore, the timing surrounding the ‘Flashing Lights’ singer’s album drop is of crucial importance as his ‘rival’ seems to be topping the charts, 

It is that time again for Ye versus Drake

Kanye West had held his fans hostage to his music with the drop of ‘Donda’ back on August 29, 2021. The catchy beats and tunes went on to score record-high numbers and brought laurels to the rapper. However, its march was cut short. Mere days later of ‘Donda’, Drake released his ‘Certified Lover Boy’ album, which took much of the spotlight off Ye’s album. While West did gain more sales, Drake clinched Spotify’s record for the most streams in a single day. 

It is no secret that Kanye West has a long history of competing with Drake. Often ending up competing, the duo has murky waters between them which also seep into their respective fandoms. With Drake dropping his album ‘For All the Dogs’ recently, it might be Ye’s turn to blow him out of the water. Regardless of any mutiny, it all secures big wins for hip-hop’s 50th year.
