Ye’s Third ‘Donda’ Party Had All Types Of Craziness
This past Thursday, Kanye put together a third and final album listening event. Along with setting himself on fire, Kanye also put the spotlight on rap’s current ‘villain’ DaBaby.
There was also West’s 40-year-old ex, Kim Kardashian, appearing onstage in a white Balenciaga Couture wedding dress, as the estranged couple re-created their 2014 nuptials during “No Child Left Behind.” And then there were the appearances by two controversial figures in Marilyn Manson and DaBaby. West brought out shock rocker Manson, who earlier this year was dropped by his label — and canceled by the rest of the music industry — after a number of women accused him of physically, mentally and sexually abusing them.

Kanye West’s ‘Donda’ Destined For No. 1
While it’s still premature, reports suggest Ye’s long-awaited studio effort will not face any serious retail competition on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The LP’s actual first-week projections are expected to become public knowledge at the start of the week.
Kanye West’s Donda (G.O.O.D./Def Jam) has arrived, and the 27-track set (clocking in at one hour and 49 minutes) is the favorite for the #1 spot on this week’s chart. The week’s other big release, Halsey’s Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross-produced If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power (Capitol), previously appeared a shoo-in for the top spot. Look for first-day projections on Kanye tomorrow. Halsey (Capitol): 95-115k total activity, 70-85k albums Lil Tecca (Galactic/Republic): 30-35k, 1-2k OneRepublic (Mosley/Interscope): 21-24k, 16-19k (HITS Daily Double)
