Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West has alerted fans of his intention to pack bags and gear up for a cross-country tour.
Barring any setbacks, Kanye could hit the road in the coming months.
“You know my tour game is strong. My tour game is unprecedented. So we’re going to go out in September I believe, and we’re just working on some of the ideas right now. But as I said before, I’m trying to literally inspire these kids the way Disney inspired me when I first saw the original Star Wars. It’s just that conversation. Everybody from George Lucas to those people, the people that run Hollywood know. [laughs]
Recent reports revealed Ye’s new album had reached nearly 100 million streams since its mass release in early April.
Although sales will likely account for a minuscule piece of his total (The Life of Pablo is for sale only on his website), Kanye West may be a contender for #1 on our next Sales + Plus Streaming (SPS) chart. Since going wide to Spotify, Apple Music and other services last week, preliminary data suggests Pablo (G.O.O.D./Def Jam) is on track for some 90m streams, which would put him at 60k+ SEA.

A few days prior, Kanye boasted about his album’s wide release on Twitter.

Def Jam also recently weighed-in on the new album’s mass availability.
“In the months to come, Kanye will release new updates, new versions, and new iterations of the album,” the rapper’s label, Def Jam, said in a statement. “An innovative, continuous process, the album will be a living, evolving art project. The Life of Pablo has truly taken on a life of its own.” (MTV)
