West introduced "Donda" at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlnta, an album titled in honor of his mother, Donda West, who died at the age of 58 after complications after plastic surgery in 2007.
The event to listen to the album - which aired live on Apple Music - was a major achievement for Kanye, as seats were all filled as soon as he announced just two days before what he was going to organize.
Kanye appeared calm, masked. In most of the songs, the audience listened in silence and applauded at the end of the songs.
Kanye becomes first artist to sell out a stadium just to have people watch him vibe to his own music all by himself for an hour. #DONDA

Also present at the stadium were his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian and children. Along with Kim, Khloe also stood. Other celebrities present were 50 Cent, Lil Kim, Caitlyn Jenner, A $ AP Rocky and 2 Chainz.
Në këngën “Love Unconditionally”, Kanye thuhet se u përlot teksa reponte se “po humbte familjen”.
