Yeezy is headlining Rolling Loud Miami this month, going down July 22 – 24. It’s not clear how much he got paid.
Earlier this year, Kanye dropped out of performing at Coachella, losing out on an $8 million payday. CNN reports the “reason” was because Kanye didn’t want to perform during the “midst of his divorce battle with Kim Kardashian and in the wake of his one-sided feud with Daily Show host Trevor Noah.”
In other Kanye news, he wants to build an American car made of foam. According to a news source, he launched Donda Industrial Design. The article says footwear designer and longtime West collaborator Steven Smith will be in charge of the project. Smith told Complex,
“I’m honored to help create our shared vision of the future.” He continued, “Mr. West is the single most inspiring creative I have ever worked with.”
