KANYE West has been slammed by frustrated fans for delaying his Donda album and planning a third listening party.
The rapper, 44, premiered his 10th studio album on July 22 at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Kanye then promised to drop Donda on August 6 after throwing a second listening party in Atlanta.
However, listeners were left frustrated to find that the new LP was still not out after the livestream ended.
And on Wednesday, Kanye announced that he will now be holding a third listening party in his hometown of Chicago on August 26.
The event is set to take place at Soldier Field and tickets went on sale on August 20.
Fans of the Yeezy mogul flocked to Twitter to express their irritation at the repeatedly delayed album.
One raged: “So Kanye is doing another listening party on the 26th? This guy is making money by fooling us.”
Another added: “Kanye lied to us, he been saying he releasing Donda for a month now.”
A third fumed: “Where the f**k is Donda, Kanye.. I’m starting to get mad bro.”
Named after Kanye’s late mother, who died in 2007, Donda was slated to drop July 23, 2021 but has yet to arrive.
The album has so far been postponed numerous times and an exact date is still up in there, although there were some reports it would be on August 22, 2021.
The rapper is notorious for dropping music on his own schedule and for repeatedly missing release dates.
Donda also marks Kanye’s first full-length album of new material since 2019’s Jesus Is King, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
The album comes several months after Kim Kardashian filed for divorce in February following six years of marriage.
Kanye made many references to his failed marriage and the loss of his family in the album.
The former couple share four kids together: North, eight, Saint, five, Chicago, three, and Psalm, two.
Despite calling off their marriage, Kim has continued to support Kanye and attended both of Kanye’s listening events with their kids.
