Kanye & Ty Dolla $ign Album Postponed, Listening Event Canceled

Author Autumn Hawkins

If you were anticipating Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign’s album on Friday (Nov. 3) or if you were hoping to attend their listening party, we’ve got bad news. Billboard reports that the two musicians have pushed back their album and canceled their multi-stadium listening party. A rescheduled date has not been announced at this time.

Technically, the duo never announced that the album would be released on Friday. Fans assumed that the project would drop on Friday, anticipating that a public listening party would have occurred. The reason behind the alleged pushback and the cancellation of the listening party has not been announced.

Last week, the “Scared Of The Dark” singer took to Instagram to announce the listening party. He wrote the yen “Y” symbol with a dollar-sign symbol and the words reading “multi stadium listening event November 3rd.”

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign Announce Massive Concert In Italy

This is not the first time Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign have (allegedly) attempted to have a stadium listening party. Back when the artists were working on music in Italy, a report spread that they were planning to do an event at a stadium there initially. A report via ReggiOnline, an Italian newspaper, said that Ye had a request for a stage to be built at the RCF Arena. The concert was initially planned to take place on Oct. 13.

“In the event the authorizations aren’t forthcoming, the date of the following Friday (which would be October 20) is also on the table. Additionally, there is speculation that the preparations are merely for an end-of-summer concert, and the rumors of who could be performing still hang in the air, especially in the absence of official confirmation from West’s camp or other camps,” the site reports, via translation from Italian.

Since the listening party has been canceled, a suggested timeline for the album release has yet to come to fruition.
