Overview
- Ye, who last headlined a full U.S. show in 2021, drew a sold‑out crowd of about 68,000 at SoFi Stadium on Wednesday and streamed the two‑hour set to his Instagram from a dome stage mapped as a spinning globe.
- He performed new Bully tracks and older hits and brought out guests, including Don Toliver for Moon and E85 and his 12‑year‑old daughter North West for Talking and Piercing on My Hand.
- He repeatedly stopped songs to demand lighting changes, restarting Good Life several times and asking, “Is this like an SNL skit or something?”, while reviewers also flagged muddy live vocals and heavy reliance on backing tracks.
- He offered no onstage comment on his past antisemitic remarks after a January Wall Street Journal apology, as critics described a polished spectacle undercut by production hiccups and questions about the performance mix.
- His July headlining run at London’s Wireless Festival has drawn fresh criticism from Jewish organizations and Mayor Sadiq Khan, with some groups urging the U.K. government to consider denying entry over safety and community concerns.
