Kanye West has his fans holding their breath, anticipating the release of ‘Vultures’. However, a sentimental delay seems to tug at their hearts. The rapper did not keep his fans entirely on edge, generously sharing fragments of his heart through raves. The epic return of Ye to the stage with Circus Maximus in Rome set the tone, and now fans are treated to the spectacle of him igniting the stage once again.

This time, Travis Scott played the role of the maestro, orchestrating Ye’s surprise performance of ‘Runaway’ during the Circus Maximus Tour in Orlando at the Kia Center. The crowd went berserk as Scott, introducing his mentor, bellowed, “Make some noise for the greatest of all time,” unleashing pandemonium among the ecstatic fans. Lately, Scott has predominantly featured tracks from his recent studio album, ‘Utopia’ during his tour. He had previously invited Drake for a guest’s appearance at one of the tour stops in Canada.

Kanye West leaves fans in berserk yet again 

In the midst of Scott’s ‘Utopia’ concert, what truly set fans ablaze was when Scott, in a moment of showmanship, crowned him the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). Already going berserk with the setlist, the crowd could not resist chiming in with fervent agreement, cementing the idea that he was not just a performer but a living legend.

When ‘Runaway’ made its grand entrance, the audience erupted in a chorus of exhilaration. While the Orlando crowd felt like they had hit the jackpot, a ripple of discontent spread among those from various corners who could not help but lament that the spectacle of Ye hitting the stage was not unfolding in the iconic cities of New York or Chicago. 

Ye’s aerial dance, shuttling to and fro from Los Angeles, had already set the stage ablaze with anticipation, a prelude to the impending spectacle. Like a fly on the wall, a devoted fan chimed in, offering a sneak peek into the rehearsals.

In a comical twist, the spotlight turned towards a fan’s claim that the mask worn took a strikingly hilarious resemblance to Brutus. The revelation injected a dose of humor into the atmosphere.
