Kanye West made headlines at the 2024 Rolling Loud music festival in Los Angeles, California, where he and Ty Dolla $ign, performing as the duo ¥$, were slated as the only act for the Thursday night show. The highly-anticipated performance, held outside SoFi Stadium, drew a large crowd eager to see the renowned rapper in action.
However, reports from social media and media outlets suggest that the performance fell short of expectations. Audience members described West's appearance as more akin to a listening event rather than a live performance. Clad in a black jacket and a face mask, West reportedly wandered around the stage, with little visible interaction with the audience.
Despite the excitement surrounding the release of their collaborative album, Vultures 1, attendees were disappointed by the lackluster nature of the show. Videos from the event captured West walking around, occasionally raising his hands to the music, before abruptly leaving the stage, leaving the DJ to play older hits to appease the crowd.
For many fans, the event felt more like an enhanced listening session rather than a full-fledged concert experience. While the album Vultures 1 had achieved chart success and generated significant interest, the live performance failed to meet expectations.
West's return to the stage was eagerly anticipated, especially following the success of his recent album and chart-topping single. However, the Rolling Loud performance left many fans wanting more, as they were left with a sense of disappointment at the lack of a dynamic live show.
