Kanye West has been taking up residence inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta to finish his forthcoming album Donda. Fans got a look at the close quarters Kanye is living out of, and it looks like this stay is costing him a lot of money.
On Thursday (July 29), Pigeons & Planes did an in-depth analysis of Kanye’s stay at the stadium, and the numbers are insane. According to the outlet, Kanye is allegedly paying $1 million a day to stay at the stadium, and based on the size of the room, he’s coughing up about $1.8 million per square foot.
The site then compared the expensive stay with the purchase of a Hong Kong penthouse that sold for $59 million ($17,542 per square foot), making it the most expensive apartment ever sold in Asia at the time. Kanye is known for going the extra mile to record albums, but this might take the cake if it turns out to be true.
The eccentric rapper shared an Instagram post of his room at the stadium. The room is modest at best, with cement walls, a twin-sized bed, flatscreen television, and a grey carpet. 1.5 million people liked the photo, and it received over 30,000 comments from fans who had all types of opinions on the small room.
Kanye West Reveals Atlanta Stadium Living Quarters As He Finishes 'Donda' Album
Kanye is making the most of his time at the stadium outside of recording by attending MLS Atlanta United soccer games. On July 24, fans spotted Ye at a game wearing the same outfit from the Donda listening event the night before.
no damn recording studio up in there.
You have a point
I wonder how Jesus feels about this waste of money that could have been better spend serving the lord’s children directly rather than being spent pandering to the whims of a man child?
Jesus would probably say to mind your own f-ing business.
?????I think so too but without the F word.
He can do what ever he wants with HIS money .. Don’t you do whatever YOU want with yours?
He would probably wonder why youre pocket checking others and not minding your own damn business.
Kimye is a Cukold mad and upset he has to taste ray j left overs everytime he intimate with Kim. Can’t stand this obnoxious loser who is so hellbent on proving how much of a genius and icon/ mogul he is in the art world and fashion. He sounded stupid af in that sway calloway interview telling sway he don’t know nothing about clothing and fashion…then u hear sway say but I have a clothing line…LMFAO this clown so arrogant and egotistical. Clown actually thought he had a chance to be POTUS. Also his clothing line sucks looks like a bunch of clothes for homeless heroin addicts.
Your are ignorant. That’s for certain
Dam sucka you put a lot effort into hating didn’t you
why wouldn’t he? y’all suckas paid for it
Kanye is the voice of a generation.
Kanye is a good Christian. He will confess it later. And remember, he made ‘Jesus Walks’, so he can do what he wants to do. Homeless people praise his name. His music cured addicts in the trailer park. A black kid in Somalia became a millionaire only because he played ‘Watch the Throne’ once. Thank you Kanye for being a conscious, real Christian.
AMEN to that, Brother! This is the good kind of black man!
So basically he blew any profit the album will make before its even been finished. Smart. I dont care who you are, no album makes that much profit in the digital era.
Hes already sold out a listening session Once and the second one will to. He’s getting paid before he even performs it live. Tickets aren’t cheap and concessions are jacked up. Supply and Demand
What about performance fees, merchandising, sponsorships and endorsements? Artists rarely get rich from album sales.
That’s not how math works. $1m divided by 200 = $5000 per square foot a night.
you can rent rooms in stadiums for 200 to 2000 bucks for the evening lmao for a show it might be up to 35K, im sure his section doesnt interfere with other booking
Kanye I live in Marietta about 20 minutes from the stadium.I have an available room for 100.00 per night. free meals and transportation back and forth.
Looks like a college dorm for an RA LOL!
I can’t believe the comments, does anyone actually believe this? Love him or hate him this story is bullshit lol
They prob don’t charge him that much it’s a celebrity guest, I have a feeling there’s a deal where percentage of listening session profits go to stadium…nobody is going to pay a million dollars a day to stay in a dorm like room
This sounds reasonably accurate. Iknow people who work there. He isn’t just using the room he’s sleeping in. He uses other areas as well. Some times he takes complete control over the stadium’s sound system and blasts his music throughout the facility.
