Saturday, attendees for a soccer game reported he “wandered” into the stands for a break to watch the game, wearing the same exact all-red outfit he debuted the album in. Literally- reports say he has refashioned the locker rooms he took over for the listening event into a makeshift studio, effectively commandeering a large portion of the building long after his business there has concluded. Well, Kanye either wants to deliver Donda even sooner, or he has a lot more than two weeks worth of work to do on the record, because he hasn’t left the stadium in Atlanta since Thursday. According to the internet personality Justin Laboy, who was central to stoking hype for the original date, the album will now be released on August 6th- although really, given Laboy’s track record so far, who knows? But if it holds, a two-week pushback isn’t the worst thing-it gives Kanye more time than he usually allows himself to tinker and perfect and allows fans to stop tweeting Laboy and any and every other known Kanye collaborator for incessant updates.
Despite hosting a massive listening session and livestream from Atlanta’s Mercedes Benz Stadium last Thursday and soundtracking a Beats commercial that advertised a July 23rd release date, Kanye’s 10th album Donda is still nowhere to be found on streaming services. The Kanye West album rollout cycle has become familiar: First the whispers among music and media personalities, then confirmation from someone in his camp (or Kim) and a star-studded listening event, and finally a blown release date.
