Rapping legend and celebrity, Kanye West was in attendance at the match between Columbus Crew and Atlanta United FC. However, his presence was not enough to help Atlanta win the match as they lost the game 1-0.
West has set up a studio at Mercedes-Benz Stadium as he aims to finish work on his 10th studio album, “DONDA,” with 2 Chainz among other collaborators.
There was a lot of controversy surrounding the album, as it was supposed to be released on Friday the 23rd, but the release was delayed. However, this wasn’t the first time West has delayed the release of an album.
