Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is officially returning to Asia, and the excitement among fans has been nothing short of explosive. The news of his Vultures Listening Experience tour sparked a frenzy across the continent, especially since this would mark a dramatic return of Ye after a 14-year hiatus- which involved numerous controversies and significant backlash. However, where there is Ye, one can always count on a few twists and turns before the main event. Unfortunately, the anticipated Asian tour has been met with the same misfortune. 

Yeezy Chief recently shared some exciting teasers for the tour, but not without first tempering the mood with a rather disappointing update.

It was announced last month that Ye and Ty Dolla $ign would bring their Vultures Listening Experience tour to Taiwan on August 25. As soon as the news got out, the tickets started to sell like hotcakes in the country. However, recently, reports of the show being canceled began surfacing through Taiwan News and Mirror Media, and they have also been featured on the Ye fan account Ye Fanatics. Now, the Yeezy Chief of Staff, Eric J Cui, has confirmed via Instagram that the show has indeed been scrapped.  

Cui shared that the cancellation was out of their control. However, that is not to say that Ye will not grace Asia. Cui teased that “Korea is in for a treat.” The team has apparently been working hard for the Korea show, and Cui cannot wait to see it “come to life” (a ‘Donda’ reference?). And Korea has shown no lack of enthusiasm in welcoming the rapper either.

Despite all the controversies, lawsuits, and talk of downfall, Ye has been met with a sold-out pre-concert frenzy in the Asian country.

Ye is lined up to perform at the Goyang Sports Complex in Gyeonggi Province this month. As per a report from All Kpop, pre-sale tickets for the anticipated show vanished in no time, and the demand for general tickets was intense. This time, a new rule also stated that pre-sales were only for those who had attended the Swae Lee and Offset concert on August 15. 

Despite all the buzz for the South Korean concert, there is still some amount of apprehension plaguing fans, given how unpredictable the rapper actually is. But nonetheless, they are hopeful and hoping the Korean show will be the launchpad for a bigger tour in Asia.
