According to an Italian news report, the Chicago rapper might hit an 80K-person venue in Reggio Emilia next week or the one after.

After a lot of teasing, secret fashion shows, wild fits, leaked footage, and so much more, it looks like we might be getting a big finale to Kanye West's rollout for his new album (or albums?). Moreover, according to a report from an Italian news site, he's planning a massive concert in Reggio Emilia, Italy for next Friday (October 13). However, the report states that if the team needs more time, then the show might take place the following Friday (October 20). Of course, this report is highly speculative and is based on a theory from venue activity, but it all seems pretty reasonable considering who we're working with.

For example, staff at the Rcf Arena is hard at work setting up a grand stage for what rumors say is a last-minute performance. The details of this work haven't been confirmed by anyone, least of all the Chicago rapper himself. Still, the massive preparations, short-notice timing, and the size of the venue itself hints at only a big name like Kanye West being able to pull it off. In addition, there's already a lot of speculation surrounding new music- and antics- from him that's ramped up considerably over the past few weeks.

Furthermore, this should all sound familiar to any die-hard fan of the 46-year-old, or even people who know about him in passing. Kanye West album rollouts are notoriously chaotic, not very organized time-wise, and usually come packed with a lot of extracurriculars like leaked footage, beef with other artists, and public controversies. Regardless of all that, though, fans don't get any less excited when they see things going wild. In fact, it's what probably gets a lot of them even more amped up.

Meanwhile, that last statement is more of a stretch than ever these days. Ye is in deeper waters than ever from a musical, artistic, social, relationship, and personal perspective. While this is all exciting for listeners, many wonder whether this will continue past trends or break cycles of controversy and harm that he perpetuated for the past year or so, if not longer. Just like anything else Yeezy-related, we'll never know until we know. For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West, stay posted on HNHH.
