Kanye West has already been commanding headlines this week following his widely discussed apology. Still, while much of the focus has been on that moment, Ye is also gearing up for a major live return. The artist is scheduled to take the stage in Mexico City across two consecutive nights, marking one of his most ambitious performances in recent years.
After completely selling out the first night on January 30 at Plaza de Toros, the rapper confirmed an additional date back in November. The run is shaping up to be a landmark moment for Kanye, as the shows are expected to draw a combined audience of 74,000 people and set a new attendance benchmark for the venue.
That record was previously held by a Roger Federer and Alexander Zverev exhibition match, which took place in 2019.
As if the scale of the concerts was not already enough to generate buzz, new details suggest the events could be even more spectacular. According to a fresh report from Mexican journalist Gil Barrera, later shared by Kurrco, Kanye will not be taking the stage alone.
Based on Barrera’s information, Travis Scott, Peso Pluma and Fuerza Regida are all expected to appear as special guests. With both Peso Pluma and Fuerza Regida hailing from Mexico, their involvement would add an extra layer of excitement for the local crowd.
Ye and Travis Scott also share a long standing creative connection, particularly when it comes to live performances. Their collaborative history includes tracks such as “Piss On Your Grave,” “Watch,” “Wash Us In The Blood,” and several others that have become fan favorites.
Adding to the anticipation, the Mexico City dates could align with the release of Ye’s twelfth solo studio album, Bully. The project is currently slated to arrive on Friday, January 30. That said, given Kanye’s well documented history of missed release dates and the multiple setbacks surrounding this album, many fans remain cautious. Concerns were further fueled by uncertainty around physical pre orders from the Yeezy team. For now, January 30 remains the projected release date, with Bully rumored to feature 13 tracks, no guest appearances, and no use of A.I. technology.
Suki Waterhouse has spoken candidly about how she found herself crying constantly after the birth of her daughter.
The singer and actress reflected on her experience as a mother more than two years after she and her partner, actor Robert Pattinson, welcomed their baby girl in March 2024.
During an interview with The Standard published on Thursday, Suki explained that motherhood has completely shifted her outlook on life.
"I think it's made me marvel at our humanness. It's so funny, even just your kid getting a fever, watching a little body recover from that, it's brought me down to what it is to be alive and I really love that," she said. "It feels very survivalist and medieval in a way, especially birth, birth is medieval."
The Daisy Jones & The Six actress, 34, shared that she was caught off guard by just how exposed and emotional she felt after giving birth to her daughter.
"I'm almost two and a half years in now, but when she was first born, I remember thinking that I can't believe everybody does this and I can't believe how vulnerable I feel," she told the publication. "I was crying all the time."
Suki continued, "It makes me cry now thinking about it. It was just... shocking."
The Notting Hill singer also admitted that she has never considered herself someone who cries easily, making those emotions all the more surprising.
"It's so f**king weird! I'm not a cryer! I'm so not an emotional person, I'm such a Capricorn. But being a mum just fed me up in such a sweet way," she stated. "It just absolutely broke open my heart, and I'm just madly in love and, despite my crying right now, I enjoy it so much and I'm so taken by my daughter and so in love with doing it with my partner and I just feel the preciousness of it very much."
Suki and Twilight actor Robert, 40, have been in a relationship since 2018 and announced they were expecting their first child together toward the end of 2023.
The pair have largely kept their romance away from the spotlight and have yet to publicly share the name of their daughter.
