Kanye West Italy Concert “Very Unlikely” To Happen: Report

October 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West’s October 27 concert in the Northern Italy city of Reggio Emilia is “very unlikely” to go ahead, according to sources who spoke with Billboard Italy. Witnesses spotted the stage at RCF Arena being dismantled while Kanye was also reportedly returned to the United States. The concert was originally scheduled for October 20 but was abruptly pushed back a week without explanation.

While the concert was never officially announced, it had been heavily promoted by Vivo Concerti. However, the event was heavily protested by both local feminist and anti-fascist groups. Of course, West’s Italian trip has been plagued by controversy. Furthermore, West was reportedly unable to acquire the building permits necessary to complete construction in time of his mid-October timeframe. Most people had expect the concert to be the launch of West’s rumored collab album with Ty Dolla $ign.

In other news, Ye 2024 is officially dead. The rapper’s attorney told Rolling Stone that West “is not a candidate in 2024” last week. While he never officially announced his campaign, West had hired a campaign staff that included far-right personalities such as Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos. However, reports from the campaign, that set itself into motion late last year, painted a picture of chaos and infighting. There were also some dubious legal issues as well. Yiannopoulos reportedly bought the domain for the campaign’s official website while serving as an intern for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a congresswoman from Georgia. Furthermore, it he allegedly used a credit card registered as an expense account with Greene’s fundraising efforts.

However, the definitive statement from West’s attorneys kills any chance that there will be another pop culture event like Ye 2020. It’s unclear how many votes West actually received as he never officially appeared on any ballots. However, his campaign was certainly a notable part of the election cycle. That means that 2024 will continue on its trajectory of being a rematch of 2020 between Biden and Trump for the Presidency.

Kanye West’s Concert In Italy Postponed, Here’s Why

October 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have been working extremely hard out in Italy as of late. For those who may not know, the two are working on a joint album. Overall, this is an extremely exciting prospect for fans of these artists. After all, they always seem to come through with some great collabs. Moreover, fans who have stuck around with Ye have been curious about what his next move would be after his ramblings from this time last year. His new music may just be revealed very soon.

In fact, he was supposed to reveal the album this Friday at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia. Unfortunately, there has been a bit of a snag in these plans. The show has been postponed. However, it actually has nothing to do with the veterans who are protesting Ye. Instead, it has everything to do with a train strike and heavy rain. This was revealed in a statement from Reggio Emilia prefecture, given to The Daily Mail.

“Given the fact that a rail strike was planned the same day and that heavy rain is due, it was thought prudent to postpone the event,” the statement reads. “Our aim [is] to ensure the safety and security of all and if there is a transport issue, then the concert cannot go ahead safely. And as it is open air, the heavy rain forecast would have also created problems. The organizers have been given an alternative date of October 27, and we are waiting to hear back if it is acceptable to them.”

Hopefully, Ye ends up going with the October 27th date. If he doesn’t, then a whole lot of fans are going to be very upset. Let us know what you think he should do, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign Prepping to Release Collab Album

October 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have completed a collaboration album and are now seeking a partner company to release it. According to Billboard, Ye is mulling over five offers and “will make a decision soon.”

Ye and Ty Dolla originally targeted Oct. 12 for the album but are now looking for another Q4 date. The report states that while the music is considered the best West has made since 2018, executives are concerned with his return timing amid the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Some labels have already passed on distributing the project, while one startup powerhouse, Too Lost, is believed to be a potential partner.

Kanye West is ready to roll out his next album. According to Italian newspaper II Messagero, Ye will debut his new album at the RCF Arena on Oct. 20. The arena’s capacity is 80,000 people.

NPR Podcast shares a guest list, which includes Ty Dolla Sign, Playboi Carti, and Travis Scott.

On Sunday, October 1st, Ye hosted a private listening event for his new album inside a recording studio overseas in Italy. Via The Sun, it seems Kanye was being Kanye, stating he “yelled and appeared out-of-sorts” during the preview of his new project.

This is the first we hear of new music since his public anti-semitic comments, which drew much backlash from the Jewish community and beyond. While this would seemingly be an exciting moment to share what’s in the vault, sources say Kanye looked a bit crazy during the playback.

Ty Dolla $ign was in attendance for the festivities, with a possible feature on the new album. The two have previously collaborated multiple times, including on Ty$’s song “Ego Death,” released in 2020.

One thing that did not go unnoticed was the absence of Ye’s wife, Bianca Sensori. The two have been attached to the hip, it seems, being photographed left and right whenever they appear in public.

Regardless, day one Kanye fans can only hope that new music is on the horizon!

Kanye West And Ty Dolla Sign To Perform In Italy: Report

October 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, it was reported that Kanye West was planning a massive performance in Italy. Reports at the time suggested that the show would take place at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, however, this hasn’t been confirmed. Now, new reports claim that the show has been scheduled for October 27, with tickets going on sale as soon as today (October 15). Moreover, the show is now set to include Ty Dolla $ign, who Ye’s been working alongside on an upcoming collaborative album.

According to Billboard, a venue for the performance has not yet been revealed. After previewing a version of “New Body” featuring West and Nicki Minaj, Ty Dolla $ign unveiled the track last week. His joint project with the Chicago MC was originally scheduled to drop on October 13, but it was pushed back. Now, they’re reportedly shopping the album around with different distributers. It’s expected to come out in the next few weeks, though an official release date has yet to be announced.

When earlier reports of Ye’s Italy show originally surfaced, it was expected to bring in as many as 80k guests. Obviously, Ye’s a major figure, and is sure to attract fans wherever he goes. With that being said, the idea of the massive event didn’t sit well with some Italian locals. TMZ reported that Italian World War 2 vets weren’t happy with Ye performing in their country, due to antisemitic remarks he’s made in the past. He’s also stated that he “[sees] good things about Hitler.”

Aside from his controversial statements, Ye and his wife Bianca Censori have also attracted a ton of attention throughout their stay in Italy. This hasn’t always been positive attention. They’ve gotten called out for revealing outfits, allegedly engaging in sexual acts in public, and more. What do you think of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign planning to perform in Italy? Are you looking forward to their upcoming collaborative album? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kanye West Upsets Veterans In Italy Over Nazi Comments Amid Concert Rumors

October 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West’s stay in Italy over the past few months has been anything but uneventful- for good and bad reasons. Moreover, many are excited about his potential return to new music, with albums on the way and a rumored massive Italy show this week. However, there have also been plenty of instances in which the Chicago MC and his wife Bianca Censori dove further into controversy and questionable behavior. For example, they were banned from a riverboat company for allegedly engaging in oral sex on a trip, and even faced scrutiny from locals and police officials for their revealing outfit choices.

Furthermore, now Kanye West is catching heat from war veterans in Italy who fought Germany and their allies during World War II. This is according to the Daily Mail, but it’s unclear whether these alleged sources that spoke to the outlet are the veterans themselves. In addition, we don’t know if this is supposed to be everything to speak on here, or if they plan to organize and in some way make a call to action. It seems like their main concern is this big concert in the city of Reggio Emilia, so whether it’s a protest or just a statement, they’re not happy.

Kanye West Meeting Donald Trump In 2018

For those unaware, Kanye West made some abhorrent antisemitic comments last year, in which he praised Hitler and expressed a whole lot of other controversial beliefs. As such, veterans reportedly take issue with the fact that about 80,000 people might give the 46-year-old a heightened platform if this concert actually happens. Of course, this is a common sentiment not just throughout Italy in some demographics, but across pretty any place in the entire world where Ye fans exist. But for every person distraught by his behavior, there’s another ready to set it all aside.

On that note, it will be very interesting to see what the public dynamic will be like if the Yeezy mogul comes back. Maybe his statements will take center stage again, or it’ll be a relatively silent drop-off. That seems unlikely, but we’ll just have to wait and see. For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West, come back to HNHH.

Kanye West & Son Saint Hit Up Soccer Game In Italy, Bianca Censori Not Spotted

October 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West seems quite busy these days, what with new music reportedly on the way, controversial trademark applications, and his usual relationship gossip. However, it seems like he took a break from all of that- including his wife Bianca Censori– to spend some quality father-son time in Italy on Saturday (October 7). Moreover, they went to the AC Milan versus Genoa soccer game, where they sat in a luxury box. The Chicago MC seemed passively entertained, reportedly checking his phone most of the time according to a Page Six report. On the other hand, Saint West was keen to watch every move.

Furthermore, it seems like it was just the duo that went out, as no photos emerged of Ye’s other children. In fact, it’s been a relatively long time since the media got an update, speculative or otherwise, on Kanye West’s co-parenting with Kim Kardashian. We know that they often link up for their kids’ sports games and other events, but with him overseas now, it’s not often that we see them together. Sure, there’s been a few instances, but it’s at the very least heartening to see the 46-year-old with his loved ones.

In addition, it seems like, if anything, he’s able to see his kids one at a time, or at least that’s what’s happened as of late. For example, North West was seemingly Kanye West’s only kid to attend his birthday party back in June, which made headlines for its sushi displays on naked models lying down. At least she was able to meet Bianca Censori in person that time, and no one knows just what their family relationships as a whole are like. There’s been a lot of rumors about it coming from unconfirmed sources, but things remain tight-lipped from the primary witnesses.

Meanwhile, hopefully this is a sign of the West-Kardashian clan’s healing and slow but steady amicable state. A nasty divorce process has deep effects, especially one that the Yeezy mogul decided to make a very public affair. With all that in mind, we’ll see how this all evolves alongside his career. For more news and updates on Kanye West, check back in with HNHH.

Kanye West Preparing Massive Concert In Italy Next Week: Report

October 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After a lot of teasing, secret fashion shows, wild fits, leaked footage, and so much more, it looks like we might be getting a big finale to Kanye West’s rollout for his new album (or albums?). Moreover, according to a report from an Italian news site, he’s planning a massive concert in Reggio Emilia, Italy for next Friday (October 13). However, the report states that if the team needs more time, then the show might take place the following Friday (October 20). Of course, this report is highly speculative and is based on a theory from venue activity, but it all seems pretty reasonable considering who we’re working with.

For example, staff at the Rcf Arena is hard at work setting up a grand stage for what rumors say is a last-minute performance. The details of this work haven’t been confirmed by anyone, least of all the Chicago rapper himself. Still, the massive preparations, short-notice timing, and the size of the venue itself hints at only a big name like Kanye West being able to pull it off. In addition, there’s already a lot of speculation surrounding new music- and antics- from him that’s ramped up considerably over the past few weeks.

Kanye West Reportedly Performing In Italy Soon

Furthermore, this should all sound familiar to any die-hard fan of the 46-year-old, or even people who know about him in passing. Kanye West album rollouts are notoriously chaotic, not very organized time-wise, and usually come packed with a lot of extracurriculars like leaked footage, beef with other artists, and public controversies. Regardless of all that, though, fans don’t get any less excited when they see things going wild. In fact, it’s what probably gets a lot of them even more amped up.

Meanwhile, that last statement is more of a stretch than ever these days. Ye is in deeper waters than ever from a musical, artistic, social, relationship, and personal perspective. While this is all exciting for listeners, many wonder whether this will continue past trends or break cycles of controversy and harm that he perpetuated for the past year or so, if not longer. Just like anything else Yeezy-related, we’ll never know until we know. For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West, stay posted on HNHH.

Kanye West Spotted At Milan Starbucks

October 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West was seen enjoying a beverage at a Starbucks in Milan this week. Ye was spotted sipping from his drink and even appeared unbothered as a fan filmed him from across a table. As has become tradition for Ye in the past few weeks, he wore a face covering in an attempt to go unnoticed. Attention will only likely grow for West as his next album is reportedly on the way. Some fans believed he was going to drop it this week following a Drake diss track. However, that did not end up being the case.

West and his wife (more than on that in a moment) Bianca Censori appear to have made Italy their home base. The couple has spent the past few months in the country. This is despite accusations of breaking anti-terror law, calls to have them deported for lewd acts, and Italy’s far-right government’s general opposition to foreign residents. West has left Italy several times, such as attending a concert in Ireland and an art gallery in Germany. However, he always returns to Italy.

Furthermore, West has now reportedly officially married Bianca Censori. Documents obtained by the Daily Mail show that West and Censori were wed under a confidential license in California in December 2022. Their marital home, at the time, was listed as West’s ranch in Wyoming.

However, the news also came with disturbing allegations. The claims were made by LBC, a British radio network. “Kanye has a set of rules for Bianca, which includes never speak and wear what he wants her to wear. She is also required to eat certain food items and to work out even though Kanye doesn’t work out. She has no mind of her own anymore and obeys him because he has convinced her that they are royal,” sources claimed. This appears in line with claims made by Censori’s former friends. They have previously alleged that the architect and model had been “radicalized” by West.
