The past year for Kanye West fans was truly eclipsing courtesy of the news of his musical retreat and the consecutive listening parties. And with the ‘Vultures’ drop nearing its release, another Chicago listening experience awaits in the corner within a day. Amidst the duration, many might have wondered why Ye had been refraining from hosting stage concerts and West has finally revealed that he was not “allowed” to perform for an entire year.

Taking to his Instagram, Kanye West explicitly shared the post, saying that he had been feeling like “the Elvis Presley movie” for not having been “allowed to perform in a year”. While Ye did not let out the reason or the compulsion behind the same, the cat coming out of the bag may hint that he might be buckling up for the Chicago retreat with a special Ye performance. Although that needs corroboration from the rapper’s end, who knows if a Ye performance and ‘Vultures’ drop were everything this week had in store.

Kanye West hardly ever leaves the vessels of chaos empty and ahead of the ‘Vultures’ drop and he has managed to do the same with his Chicago rave and consequent confession.

Some fans were really in a daze following his admission and responded with “.I wonder whose preventing Kanye from performing. This is really a mystery”. Not knowing the reason why, a user requested to “FREE MY GOAT HE AINT DO NOTHING WRONG 💔”. Other enthusiasts also swarmed in to hype the rapper saying “all good pops we gon show up and show out”. Although no one really knows the reasons behind the non-clearance, at least one can take respite in knowing that the break is over since Ye is set to set the stage on fire at the United Center on February 8th.
