Hot off delaying his album for the 20th time, Yeezy supreme Kanye West is putting pedal to the metal to ensure that his tenth studio album Donda sees the light of day, so much so that he’s reportedly packing up shop and ditching Mercedes-Benz Stadium, for what we expect to be an even bigger stadium.
It’s a story that’s been getting as much attention as Donda itself, with Kanye literally moving into the 70,000 seat mega house following two sold out listening parties there. He even gave us an insight into his room so we’d know he was ‘Locked in forreal,’ with fellow artists such as Pusha T and Steve Lacy since being spotted in the small enclave.

Now, high-profile Yeezy collaborator KayCyy has teased in a now-deleted tweet “We’re moving to another stadium!”
Look, that’s all we have so far. But knowing Kanye and the ridiculousness of his creative process, we’re honestly more surprised that he hasn’t bought a private island of sorts for his latest creative endeavour.
The whole thing is eerily reminiscent of the release process of Life of Pablo in 2016, an album that was defined by repeated delays and even post-release updates to the track listing. So much so that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey of all people has now weighed in, tweeting (of course) “And…this is unlikely and maybe against the creative process…but it would be incredible if Kanye West put out Donda as it is now and continued to update it until he feels it’s “finished”…we can all witness the work evolve in real time.”
It’s an idea that has Life of Pablo written all over it, and naturally Apple Music 1 programmer Zane Lowe replied “Pablo. It’s a great thing. Pure process.”
Pablo. It’s a great thing. Pure process.

Only time will tell. We’d post a snippet from the album that’s surfaced online, but it’ll probably be drastically changed by the time the album actually drops. Instead, check out this clip of Yeezy levitating on the roof of Mercedes Benz stadium below.
