Kanye West is apparently living at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium until Donda album is finished
Kanye West is reportedly living at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta while he finishes work on his long-awaited Donda album.
After hosting a listening party for Donda at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium last Thursday (22 July), it's been reported that Kanye West has moved in to the stadium to finish the album.
On Saturday (24 July) Ye was spotted at the Atlanta United soccer game, and now HYPEBEAST reports that he's created a temporary studio, living space and hired a chef to keep him fed while finishing Donda at the Mercedes-Benz stadium.
Fans were expecting Donda to be released last Friday (23 July), but over the weekend Justin Laboy gave an update on Donda via Twitter, writing, "KANYE WEST WILL MOVE THE RELEASE DATE OF DONDA TO AUGUST 6TH. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE. HE WANTS TO GIVE HIS FANS THE BEST POSSIBLE PRODUCT WITHOUT RUSHING ANYTHING. HE LOVES YALL WITH ALL OF HIS HEART. GOD BLESS."
