Kanye West 'Donda 2' Live Listening Party Suffers Technical Issues

Ye is back, doing what he does best, performing. Kanye West's "Donda 2" concert is streaming live across 15 cities, from 9 pm EST, on one cool date- 22.02.2022.

Initially, the concert was supposed to be aired via Stem Player, fans are now catching it at IMAX theatres. The event is being streamed from the loanDepot Park Stadium in Miami, Florida. But, many complained the player had technical issues and was buffering for a significant amount of time.

The streaming began with two hours of heartbeat noise which sent the fans into a tizzy, wondering when the actual show would begin. Finally, it started with a house on fire and Kanye grooving next to it, and he began wading through water, back and forth.

Fans began to liken him to "Jesus" saying that was now "Holy Water".

The first song appeared to feature posthumous vocals from XXXTentacion and plenty of fans seemed to notice it.

On Instagram user wrote, "Anyone hear XXX on the first vocals? RIP"

The fans were initially upset because the album, "Donda 2" was supposed to arrive midnight, February 22, but did not appear online. "Donda 2" is available exclusively through West’s Donda Stem Player.

Ye also said that he had turned down a $100 million offer from Apple, wanting to release the album via his own platform. Reportedly executive produced by Future, "Donda 2" is the sequel to "Donda" which had been released in 2021.

Ye has become quite the social media star lately, especially an avid Instagrammer and has used the platform to hit out at his soon-to-be-ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, writing and deleting controversial comments about how was not being allowed to be a good father. Then, he spoke about how he did not like North West being on TikTok and Kim was not being a good mother by allowing their daughter to be on social media.

He has also targeted her current boyfriend Pete Davidson and because of his friendship with Davidson, cut off ties with Kid Cudi.

So do we get to see and hear on "Donda 2". There's The Game, Moneybagg Yo, and media reports also suggested Drake, Travis Scott, Baby Keem, and more.

On the live stream, fans spotted Migos, Marilyn Manson while some thought they saw Blade and Cochise.

Unfortunately, the Stem Player crashed, "making history" as one Instagrammer wrote, while others could not see or hear much because everything kept buffering.

Fans were also kicked because Kanye was following them back, and getting very excited about it all.

Wrote one Instagram user, "Ye follows me. We’ve met twice in the past 4 months. THAT'S GOD 🙏🏼🕊 big things coming y’all." Another wrote, "Ye follows me if anyone wants to collab or work on something lmk! Maybe he’ll see it."

Another put it a little into perspective, saying, "Y’all think that it's special that ye is following u guys and yes he is following me but I’m not a child."

Many people were not very happy with the delay in starting the show. Wrote one Instagram user, "got caught lackin backstage @ the show jus now.. tryna make the most of it if u see me tn say wassup".

Another comment read, "I been sitting here on this stream for 2 hours man…" while more complained, "bruh when is this starting I have work in the morning."

Once the show started, reactions were varied again, as one wrote, "Kanye dancing like he got his Fortnite deal" while others did not like the "low a-- quality."

Still, there were plenty of fans who felt "Kanye is GOD" and how "Donda 2" is much better than the first album.

We don't know how the fans at IMAX or at the location itself felt, but there are some Twitter statuses out already and not all is all that cool with Ye's fans.
