Kanye West hosts his third Donda listening event ahead of the album’s release

Just over a month after his first event at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, West returns to his hometown of Chicago for The Donda Album Experience at Soldier Field. This is expected to be the last event before the release of the rapper’s tenth studio album, which is named after his late mother.

West made the conscious decision of appearing alongside Marilyn Manson (an alleged sexual predator) and DaBaby (a homophobe) at his Donda listening party:
