Kanye West decided to surprise his fans with a unique listening party following the Super Bowl in a last minute twist.
Despite the controversy surrounding his name, fans were still willing to shell out $350 for tickets to witness the chaotic event at a new undisclosed location on the bustling Las Vegas Strip.
This impromptu performance resembled an underground rave and was meticulously organized within a mere 24-hour timeframe.
The Sun secured chaotic scenes unfolding as clashes erupted among spectators, resulting in flying drinks, exchanged blows, and security personnel removing unruly attendees.
Amid thunderous applause, the spotlight fell upon Kanye, the musical genius whose artistic boundaries knew no limits.
Beside him, mirroring his boundless energy, stood his 10-year-old prodigious daughter, North West, and the acclaimed rapper, Ty Dollar $ign.
As the afternoon wore on, the cost of tickets plummeted to a mere $150, leaving a sense of disappointment and betrayal among fans who had already shelled out more for the opportunity to witness the controversial rapper's performance.
While anticipation grew for the "Donda" hitmaker's long-awaited appearance, the clock struck 11 PM, the designated time for him to take the stage.
However, much to everyone's dismay, it was an entire hour passed before he finally emerged.

Kanye West's Listening Party Pure Mayhem & Madness
According to an unnamed source, staff was suddenly requested to assist with the event merely a day prior, resulting in a rather disorganized show.
The organizers had divided the main floor of the venue, restricting the movement of fans to the sides and obstructing their view of the stage, apparently at the specific request of Kanye.
At the show, concertgoers were informed by the staff that the use of professional cameras was prohibited, even though Kanye had a large group of videographers capturing content throughout the venue.
Dressed entirely in black and sporting a mask, Kanye West entered the stage, performing a lineup of his tracksfrom "Vultures 1."
The medley included crowd favorites such as "Paid," "Everybody," "Back To Me," and even a special rendition of North West's very own composition, "Talking."
Despite the ticket predicament, numerous devoted fans could was observed energetically cheering "Yeezy" and gracefully moving to the rhythm, while security personnel diligently guided VIP attendees to various designated areas.
After the concert, more chaos erupted, resulting in two major altercations and the removal of several disgruntled fans from the premises.
Additionally, a multitude of fans engaged in heated disputes with security personnel, desperately seeking a convenient exit route that would spare them from traversing a considerable distance to the opposite end of the Strip.
According to a source who spoke to the outlet, "While a lot of loyal fans enjoyed the show, it was disheartening that he never said a single word on stage when the ticket price was so high."
"It was obvious it was organized very last minute and nobody knew what to expect. It was classic Kanye; I'm surprised he didn't come on at 2 am."
