Kanye West Announces Slovakia Concert as He Teases New Music and Faces Ongoing Controversies
Kanye West is heading to Eastern Europe. The controversial rapper and fashion mogul announced on Thursday that he will be performing live in Slovakia next month, marking his latest return to the stage after a chaotic year filled with music delays, legal drama, and public feuds.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), West revealed that tickets for the show will go on sale this Sunday, June 22nd. While he didn’t provide specifics about the venue or setlist, the announcement stirred a wide range of reactions online.
When music platform NFR Podcast shared the news, fan responses were sharply divided. One user dismissed the event entirely, writing, “No one cares about Kanye, we’re all waiting for Clipse’s album,” referring to the highly anticipated Let God Sort ‘Em Out from Pusha T and No Malice. Another chimed in with, “I speak for everyone when I say we will NOT be buying.”
The Slovakia concert announcement arrives during a busy stretch for West. Earlier this week, he promised fans a flurry of new music releases. “Releasing 5 of the songs 2nt. Will release another 5 2mrw. And then more the next day. Still working on the album. Share this message,” he posted on X. This update follows the much-hyped visual release of his Bully album earlier this year, which he claimed would receive an official drop on June 15th—a promise that has yet to be fulfilled.
West’s musical timeline has been muddled by a string of controversies. His follow-up project, Cuck, was leaked in its entirety by hackers who condemned his past statements and actions. Alongside the leak came a harsh message: “F*ck Nazis. 50-year-old loser promoting fascism and hate speech. All proceeds from this groupbuy were donated to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.”
In response, Kanye fired back on X, stating: “Somebody got a drive and threw it on YouTube and said this is CUCK. What I love about getting blocked on DSPs and having songs leaked and shows cancelled is… It proves everything I’m saying and why I’m saying.”
Beyond his musical ventures, West’s personal life continues to make headlines. According to RadarOnline, the artist is reportedly eager to avoid a drawn-out custody battle with ex-wife Kim Kardashian. The report suggests that Kanye’s financial situation has become increasingly strained, adding urgency to his legal and personal decisions.
With a new international concert, more music on the way, and a storm of controversy surrounding his name, Kanye West’s return to the spotlight remains as polarizing as ever. Whether fans embrace the Slovakia show or continue to demand accountability, one thing is certain—Kanye is determined to keep pushing forward, no matter the obstacles.
