Kanye West just made $33 million from his 2 comeback shows

ALBAWABA - A Bloomberg report claimed that controversial American rapper Kanye West made a whopping $33 million from his comeback shows in Los Angeles. 

Now known as Ye, addressed his fans during his show at the Sofi Stadium and said, "That's what 80,000 people sound like, ladies and gentlemen... they said I'd never be back in the states. Two sold-out concerts." 

This marks the rapper's first proper comeback with the studio album "Bully" since his recent anti-Semitic behavior and Nazi-related remarks on social media. However, Kanye West stirred controversy for releasing a song called "Heil Hitler" during his long social media rant.

According to TMZ, citing Bloomberg, Ye garnered $18 million in ticket sales from the first concert on Friday, making it "one of the highest-grossing single shows in the history of live music."

However, the report adds that the two sold-out shows might be seen as a "stunt or an aberration" due to his controversial behavior online, including being accused of anti-Semitism and sharing explicit photos of his former wife, Australian architect Bianca Censori, on X (formerly Twitter).

Recent news circulated that Kanye West will be performing at the UK's Wireless Festival. This prompted American beverage company Pepsi to withdraw its sponsorship from the festival. 

According to the Mirror, criticism started when UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said regarding the issue at hand, "Antisemitism in any form is abhorrent and must be confronted firmly wherever it appears."

A Pepsi spokesperson also said, "Pepsi has decided to withdraw its sponsorship of Wireless Festival."
