Of course, there were moments of deep thinking and some classic delays, but with the drop of ‘Vultures 2,’ it has been only a skyward climb for the rap mogul.

After an August packed with ‘Vultures’-themed surprises—complete with record drops and epic listening parties—Ye’s ‘Vultures’ listening experience is gearing up to leave an even bigger global footprint. Yefanatics on X recently dropped a snippet video, teasing confirmed and rumored upcoming events hanging from the Atlanta rapper's coattails. Fans already know about the much-hyped listening party 2.0 in Haikou City, China, happening on September 21st, but there’s also buzz about a rumored Thailand stop on September 27th.

The same snippet has whipped up speculation that Japan might be part of his domination tour, though details are fuzzy. Moreover, Italy is on the radar too, followed by three more rumored European shows, but like Japan, the specifics are a mystery. So while fans buckle up for this wild ride, the next stop on the ‘Vultures’ world tour is locked in: Haikou City in China’s Hainan Province.

Even without official confirmation, the buzz around his upcoming tour stops is skyrocketing, and it is all thanks to the massive cash flow he generated in China with his one listening experience this September.

According to Altitude News, citing the Haikou Municipal Tourism, Culture, Radio, Film and Television, and Sports Bureau, Ye’s Haikou City show raked in a jaw-dropping 51 million yuan, which is about 7.1 million USD. This impressive haul boosted Haikou’s tourism revenue to a staggering 373 million yuan or roughly 51.9 million USD.

The concert attracted 39,727 attendees, with over 95% coming from outside the island, primarily from Guangdong, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Beijing. Additionally, 848 fans traveled from overseas, including Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, to catch the listening session. This high demand has been the secret sauce behind the buzz for a ‘Vultures’ listening experience 2.0 in China, with several rumored destinations on the radar. Now, all that remains to be seen is whether Ye’s subsequent shows can match the success seen in China.
