On Tuesday night, Kanye West hosted a listening party for his next album, "DONDA 2," in Miami. However, there were a slew of difficulties that marred the event.

The rapper, known for his hit song "Jesus Is King," was joined by a group of performers to present the latest experience from his second highly-awaited album at LoanDepot Park in Miami.

Despite this, not everything went off without a hitch, as is typical of Kanye's style.

The stage had been set for the occasion, and the visuals were just stunning.

The rapper and the performers put on a show that featured the well-known "Donda" home in the middle, as well as the newest addition - a flooded stage.

During the first half of the event, it appeared as though everything was going according to plan.

Unfortunately for Ye, the second half of the event was much different.

There have been audio issues affecting the show's second half, and it has become so bad that the "All of the Lights" rapper has thrown a fit live and on stage, even throwing his microphone away to the audience members.

Kanye West did not perform all of the songs from the album during the listening party, like he did at the other listening events. His performance consisted only of dancing around the stage as the music played in the background.

While performing "Hurricane," a song from the original "Donda" album, he grabbed the microphone and started singing along to the verses in rap style.

However, for whatever reason, Ye was constantly losing his position on the track.

Some attendees at the event speculated that Kanye had a problem with his in-ear monitor, while others said that he had just forgotten what he was supposed to be saying.

The problems have gotten even worse after his performance of the controversial song "Jail," a collaboration with DaBaby and Marilyn Manson, during which he threw away his microphone out of frustration with the situation.

Ye was apparently performing without a microphone during the whole listening party.

But the problems with the sound didn't stop there. It was difficult to keep the audio in time with the backing track during the Alicia Keys and Fivio Foreign performance of "City of Gods."

The Yeezy inventor and his "Donda 2" sound team couldn't keep their tongues out of their collective mouths on social media, with many fans joking that they were about to be fired.

'Donda 2' Update

"Donda 2" is Kanye West's anticipated eleventh studio album, which he is rumored to have begun recording as early as September 2021 in his home studio.

In addition to his Stem Player audio device, the album is apparently only available through other streaming channels like as Apple Music, Spotify and the like....

"Donda 2" was originally expected to be released on February 22nd, but it has yet to be released as of this writing.
