Ye brought out a bunch of stars with him during his final at night at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
On Friday, April 3, the artist formerly known as Kanye West appeared atop his massive circular stage for a second round of performances in celebration of his new album BULLY. After delivering some classics like "Say You Will" with Andre Troutman, Ye invited Travis Scott to pop out with him to perform their latest collaboration, "FATHER," twice. He later called on CeeLo Green to perform the album's title track and his daughter, North West, to deliver their collaborations. Midway through the show, Ye shocked the crowd when he appeared with Lauryn Hill by his side.
The Fugees crooner stood center stage as she made history with Ye. Longtime fans know the Chicago rapper originally wanted to sample Hill's opening vocals from her 2002 track "The Mystery of Iniquity" on his smash hit "All Falls Down" in 2004. Ye didn't get Hill's permission to clear the sample, so he got Syleena Johnson to lay down the vocals instead. Now, over two decades later, Ye and Hill got a chance to perform the version of "All Falls Down" that he always wanted.
While she was there, Hill invited her sons, Zion and YG Marley, to the stage to perform other notable bangers like Zion's "Heartbeat" and YG's "Praise Jah In The Moonlight." Lauryn Hill also belted out her other classics like "Lost Ones" and "Doo Wop (That Thing)." The latter track led to Ye's performance of "Believe What I Say," which also samples Hill's 1998 hit. The father of four hadn't performed the song from his Donda album since he dropped it in 2021.
Ye's latest performance at SoFi Stadium helped him make history. According to a report Bloomberg published on Sunday, April 5, the controversial artist, whose career took a hit following his antisemitic outbursts in 2022, managed to rack up over $33 million for both shows. His Friday show alone drew out over 80,000 people and pulled in over $18 million, which, if true, would be one of the highest-selling single shows in music history.
