Kanye West is pulling out all of the stops for his next \u201cDonda\u201d listening party.<\/p>\n

The \u201cPower\u201d rapper is rebuilding his childhood home in the middle of Chicago\u2019s Soldier Field, where he\u2019ll be playing his forthcoming album on Thursday, according to online photos<\/a> snapped from inside the stadium.<\/p>\n

West wiped his entire Instagram account over the weekend and began uploading photos having only to do with \u201cDonda\u201d\u2014and kicked off with a photo of the home he shared with his beloved late mother.<\/p>\n

The Post obtained exclusive photos<\/a> of West\u2019s former 1,600-square-foot house, which has changed hands several times since Donda sold it in 2003 for $121,000.<\/p>\n

In 2011, a\u00a0camera crew even followed West\u00a0as he visited the home with Jay-Z. It was also featured on a 2018 episode of \u201cKeeping Up With Kardashians.\u201d He ultimately bought the home back last year for $225,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonda\u201d will serve as a tribute to the 44-year-old rapper\u2019s late mother, who died in 2007. The album, which already has been played at two separate listening parties in Atlanta, is reportedly going to be released following his Soldier Field performance, but fans have heard that promise numerous times.<\/p>\n

West\u2019s promo leading up to \u201cDonda\u201d has been nothing short of headline-making, as he raised eyebrows for renting out\u2014and moving into\u2014Atlanta\u2019s Mercedes-Benz Stadium to finish the record. He shared a photo of his humble quarters inside the stadium that featured only a twin bed, a small closet and plenty of cinderblocks.<\/p>\n

While his bedroom may have been minimalist, he went all out for other amenities; the \u201cAll of the Lights\u201d rapper hired a private chef for the duration of his stay.<\/p>\n

Fans will just have to wait and see if they\u2019ll receive the highly anticipated album this week or simply wonder what Kim Kardashian thinks of it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
