Kanye West ‘tried to perform last-minute gig on New Year’s Eve’

KANYE West wanted to perform a last-minute concert on New Year’s Eve. The 44-year-old rap star made a last-ditch effort to perform in Miami, Florida, as 2022 approached – but his team were unable to secure a venue in time. A source explained: “His team called everyone in Miami asking if they had a location to do a concert. At 6:15pm on NYE. People just went back to their glass of Champagne.” Kanye – who legally changed his name to Ye in 2021 – also encountered another problem. A second source told the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six Column: “He wanted such a big group, like 50 or 60 people. A lot of places just didn’t have the space.” Instead, Kanye spent New Year’s Eve at a new club called Game Changers, where he was joined by the likes of Future, Quavo and French Montana. Meanwhile, Kanye still “wants to win [Kim Kardashian West] back”. The 41-year-old TV star – who has North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, three, and Psalm, two, with the rapper – filed for divorce in 2021, but Kanye is desperate to rekindle their romance and he recently bought a $4.5-million home on the same street as his estranged wife. – IOL
