Ye has been having some huge concerts in the past few years, the last of which was his Chicago homecoming at Soldier Field earlier this month. Despite the controversies and backlash he continues to face, it's clear he isn't stepping away from the stage anytime soon. Last night (Friday, September 25) at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium, Kanye West popped out as a surprise guest performer at the "Raymond & Brown (R&B)" tour, the massive trek from Chris Brown and Usher.
As caught by yazzerz_87 on Twitter, he emerged from the stage to perform "Runaway" before running through "N***as In Paris," "Can't Tell Me Nothing," "Flashing Lights," and "All Of The Lights." The crowd went wild when the Chicago artist came out, and while he didn't say much, he did dap Breezy up. Given all the respect the two have formed for each other over the years (and how they are both highly criticized musicians), this solidarity should come as little surprise. Still, there was a shock factor to all this regarding the performance itself, and you can tell by how fans reacted.
Kanye already performed at SoFi this year, as his L.A. shows kicked off an ongoing tour. Future tour stops include an October 24 show in Indonesia, an October 31 performance in Houston, a November 7 concert in Dallas, and a November 21 live set in Phoenix. As for Chris Brown and Usher's "R&B" tour, they will perform at SoFi Stadium again tonight (Saturday, September 26) and will continue their trek before returning to L.A. on November 15 and 16 and wrapping up the tour about a month later in Tampa on December 11 and 12.
Kanye West Joins Chris Brown & Usher
Kanye West and Chris Brown's dynamic has made their camaraderie clear over the years, although the former hasn't been as publicly linked to Usher. Still, we imagine the respect and appreciation is there regardless.
We will see what other surprises the R&B superstars have in store for fans on this successful and wide-ranging trek. Elsewhere, Ye has more shows to look forward to amid his attempts at redemption, which should hold some surprises too.
