Kanye has since been living at this stadium, to finish up the Donda album. This happened after Donda wasn’t released on time, on July 23, and still isn’t here. Kanye has his own living situation at the Benz, a recording studio, and also. private chef. A few days ago, he even shared a photo of his bed, as well as him recording.
August 6 has reportedly been the new confirmed release date for Donda. Now, Kanye is said to be planning another listening event at the Benz, on August 5, according to TMZ. He is also supposedly coming up with ways on how to make this event different from the first one, last week. Staff for the stadium have said to have been hired now as well.
Last time, Kanye set an Apple Music Global Livestream record, with 3.3 million viewers. That crushed Jeezy and Gucci Mane’s 2020 Verzuz battle, which had 1.8 million.
