Kanye West has yet again delayed the release of his latest much anticipated album.
The celebrated hip-hop artist is still busy polishing Donda, which was initially supposed to be released on 22 July.
Since then, the album’s release date has been postponed more than once. First, it was pushed forward to 5 August, then it was set for 15 August. Now his manager, Abou Thiam, has said that the album won’t be released for another week.
Thiam said it will drop after its third listening party, which is scheduled to be held in Chicago on Thursday 26 August at the Chicago Soldier Field. But for all we know, the listening party will be delayed too.
And many have noted that Thiam did not provide a specific date, likely in order to avoid more disappointments.
Meanwhile, Kanye West has inspired a new Lego figure. The French company DAVRIL has revealed its newest Lego human figure toy – named “Donda”. It comes wearing a spiked black Balenciaga jacket like the one Kanye wore to the second listening session of the unreleased album in Atlanta’s Mercedes Benz Stadium.
The stadium is now currently being used by West for final production of the album, which is named after his late mother.
