Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign took the stage at South Korea’s Goyang Stadium on Friday, August 23 for an electrifying “Vultures 2” listening party that doubled as a full-fledged concert.
In front of a capacity crowd of 40,000 fans, Ye delivered a performance that spanned his entire career, rapping along to over 70 tracks, including cult hits like “Stronger,” “Runaway,” and “Famous.”
Throughout the evening, West made headlines with his candid greetings to key people in his life.
Before performing “I Wonder” from *Graduation*, West dedicated the song to Drake and fashion designer Ian Connor despite their turbulent past.
That evening, West also paid tribute to his longtime collaborator Jay-Z and several Roc-A-Fella legends with a performance of “Diamonds From Sierra Leone.”
The crowd erupted in cheers as Ye urged everyone to “throw their diamonds in the sky,” saluting Jay-Z, Dame Dash and other key figures from his early career.
Not one to shy away from controversy, West took the opportunity to turn the crowd against his former partner Adidas, chanting “F— Adidas” before launching into “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.”
The listening party, which marked West’s first performance in South Korea in 15 years, deviated from the traditional format of previous events as Yeezy opted to rap live rather than simply play recorded tracks.
The Vultures duo had planned to continue their Asian tour in Taiwan, but the show was abruptly canceled for undisclosed reasons. *Vultures 2*, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, was a significant moment for Ye, reigniting his passion for live performance.
