Kanye West – Donda: Fans frustrated as rapper’s album suffers more delays

Footage leaked from Kanye West listening party

Kanye West has held a second listening party ahead of today (6 August), the supposed new release date for his 10th studio album, Donda.

The record has suffered multiple delays and was most recently scheduled for release on 23 July, but the album never manifested.

West has now put on two listening parties at the Mercedes-Benz stadium in Atlanta, where thousands of fans have been privy to an early glimpse at Donda.

The rapper and producer reportedly went back to work on the album after the first, following a muted reaction from the 42,000 fans in attendance.

The album is named after West’s mother, Donda West, who died in 2007 aged 58.

This current version reportedly includes features such as Playboi Carti, Pusha T, Young Thug, Travis Scott, Jay-Z, Lil Baby and The Weeknd.

Some talking points:

At the time of writing (10am EST, 3am UK time), the album had still not materialised, despite the new release date being scheduled for 2am EST on Friday 6 August.

The liveblog is now closed.
