Kanye West Announces ‘Project Wyoming’ Events In Chicago, Miami, Brooklyn

Kanye West will be holding a series of events in Chicago, Miami, and Brooklyn as part of Project Wyoming. He made the announcement via his website.

The events in Chicago and Miami will take place on June 7, and his event in Brooklyn will take place on June 8. Other details about Project Wyoming are kept under wraps.

What Is Project Wyoming?

On West's website, a footage from last week's Ye listening party has been uploaded. Julieanna Goddard, a.k.a. YesJulz revealed that Project Wyoming is West's way of giving fans the chance to experience his album the same way Wyoming residents did last weekend.

"Ye wants people to experience the album the same way the 400 people in Wyoming did. Open air, around a fire, with a stadium quality sound. That's what #ProjectWyoming is about. Stripping down to the basics and enjoying nature & GOOD company. These are merch pop up bonfires," wrote Goddard.

In a follow-up tweet, Goddard shared the link to WeGotLove, a website that West launched with his Charlamagne interview. The website currently features a 12-minute comedy film starring 2 Chainz and Lil Yachty that was taken from the Ye listening party in Wyoming.

Kanye West Causes Trouble At Wyoming Ranch

However, the recent gathering reportedly caused trouble among the owners of the Diamond Cross Ranch, who hosted the event. Jane Golliher, the owner, and operator of the establishment revealed that she had a hard time working with West.

Golliher said that West changed his mind about where to hold the listening party very frequently. He, later on, decided to hold it outdoors. The gathering was supposed to end at 10 p.m., but it did not even start at 9:30 p.m.

The ranch owner and her husband almost got into trouble with the city council because West and his team played their songs loudly. Following the event, Golliher decided that rappers will no longer be welcomed to the ranch. Other artists whose music are more mellow may still hold listening parties at the Diamond Cross Ranch.

Kanye West's Mental Health Struggles

In related news, West recently sent his love and support to Kate Spade's family after the designer had taken her own life earlier this week. West's gesture to Spade's family came just days after he had shared his own struggles with mental health struggles.

West also confirmed his bipolar disorder diagnosis on his song "Yikes." In the track, the rapper said that his condition is not a disability.
