More than 40,000 people piled into the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Thursday night to see Kanye West drop his 10th studio album. After waiting for nearly two hours after the scheduled start time, Kanye finally appeared on the field—then said absolutely nothing as Donda played extremely loudly over the stadium’s speakers for 48 minutes. According to USA Today, Kanye “sometimes paced in a circle, sometimes trotted a few steps,” though The Wall Street Journal noted a few more actions: “For much of the night, Mr. West remained relatively still atop a white tarp in the venue, though he also kneeled at times and danced at others.”

Smoke machines were pumping out a haze during the event, leaving West difficult to make out from the nosebleed seats. Some fans ridiculed a snack menu spotted at the stadium that listed sweet and salty kettle corn for $35, kosher beef franks for $40, and chicken tenders for $50. Donda is expected to be released at some point during Friday.

1. Bloomberg sez West is worth 6 billion, Forbes sez it's "only" 1.8 billion, so...

howcum we're all over Bezos and Gates and not West?

7. No, Kanye West Is Not The Richest Black Person In America (good breakdown video by Forbes)

Multiple outlets recently reported that Kanye West is the richest Black billionaire in the U.S. According to Forbes' estimates however, his net worth is much lower than the reported $6.6 billion.

I am NOT a Kanye fangirl (nothing to do with his wealth btw), take any shot you want.

Bloomberg has a history of overestimating net worth.

4. On his meds or off? Who knows? Why would Jay Z want to deal with he and his problems?

The collaboration is more money for both I guess.

11. ...

I recognize this is most likely the enabling by family and greedy promoters of a man whose poorly treated mental illness has left him delusional. Mistaking mania for "genius" and allowing for those around him to profit. Ahhhh, celebrity culture. Aren't we proud?

16. So, so true. nt

12. So other than having to watch some

music video a good time was had by all!

13. Only things worse than his "music" are his politics, clothes and shoes. Dummass people are

spending a fortune on his ugly crapola.

[North Shore Chicago]

14. Agreed
