Depending on your own personal tastes, it’s been a bizarre or extremely Kanye West start to the year. Off the top of my head I think of Kanye and his shared dragon energy with US President Donald Trump, the Kanye-signed Make America Great Again cap, and Kanye shaving his head in honour of Parkland Shooting survivor Emma González.
Kanye being Kanye.
This morning, the artist suddenly announced he would be having a listening party for his album ye. Fans could also tune into the listening party via the app WAV.
According to Variety, Kanye summoned 150 reporters to the mountains of Wyoming. Merch was available as was a helluva lot of food for the large amount of press.
