Kanye West rejected a formal offer from Planet Hollywood that would have made him one of Vegas’s highest paid acts, TMZ reports. The College Dropout star was offered $4.5 million for a nine-day concert residency at Axis at Planet Hollywood on the Las Vegas strip.
Details of the three-show-a-week, three-week residency were reportedly obtained by TMZ. The $500,000–per-show offer to Kanye West tops other Vegas acts, including J. Lo’s reported $350,000 fee, Britney Spears’ $475,000 fee and Celine Dion’s $476,000 fee.
No reports indicate the reason behind Kanye West’s decision to decline the formal concert offer.
Kanye West has also not officially named a new DJ after recently parting ways with longtime tour DJ, Chicago-based producer Million $ Mano.
The critically acclaimed 2013 release of West’s latest album, Yeezus, spawned the acclaimed Yeezus Tour.
Though the tour was full of sellouts, it was also full of controversy because of its merchandise, among other things.
West recently spoke on his idea of perfection.
“My creativity is in no way limited to the genre of Hip Hop,” he said. “I feel like I’m like busting at the seams to do something more—Even when I did ‘Glow In The Dark’ it was pretty innovative. And like now we’re doing this and it’s innovative again…The pressure is just to create as much as possible. If you’re a creative person, it’s just to create as much as possible. Whatever you think of to get it off your chest. To get it out. And I feel blessed that I do have an outlet of this tour. Something that I can anchor a bunch of ideas against…The pressure is not like coming up with new stuff. The pressure is not getting things that you have in your mind out.”
It was recently announced that West would appear on the new album from “I Don’t Fuck With You” rapper Big Sean.
I’d pay him 500k a night to park that tour in my wet asshole
probably declined the offer because his fat face wasn’t on the billboard next to it
Yes. You’re right. He would get 500K a performance but they wouldn’t put up a billboard of him. You’re obviously a moron with no education, how you were ever able to access a computer is beyond me. You’re also a faggot.
@anon- i think BP was trolling dumbass loll
@2nd Anon
Nah, there are actual morons like that on this site. It’s been taken over by complete retards.
If you think they’ll pay kanye more money than Britney and Celine Dion you stupid
they just did, dummy
Britney Spears and Celine Dion both had a 3-4 year residency in Vegas (maybe even more than that). Kanye’s would be 3 WEEKS… so yeah Britney and Celine Dion made way more money overall but Ye would get more per show
Maybe he wants to enjoy seeing the world with his family.
Kanye West is a complete cornball ass nigga who is trying to live some kind of fantasy gangsta life with his do nothing bitch and they child i guess he figures is his.
