Ye Makes Surprise Appearance at Chris Brown & Usher’s L.A. Show With Hit-Filled Medley
The Sept. 25 performance marked West's first since his Chicago homecoming earlier in the month.
Kanye West, also known as Ye, made an unexpected appearance during Chris Brown and Usher's Los Angeles stop on their R&B Tour on Friday night, September 25. This unexpected turn left the SoFi Stadium crowd in utter disbelief and excitement. Ye emerged from underneath the stage, clad in his signature black leather ensemble and a mask, setting the crowd ablaze with a hit-filled medley of five songs.
These hits spanned his illustrious career, including tracks like "Can’t Tell Me Nothing," "N—as in Paris," "Flashing Lights," and "All of the Lights." Ye's electrifying performance came as a stark contrast to his recent headlining concerts. The collaboration between Ye and Brown traces back two decades, with their first joint venture in 2007 on Exclusive's "Down."
The duo has continued to collaborate on several tracks, such as "Deuces (Remix)," "Waves," "New Again," and "Beg Forgiveness." Ye's L.A. performance marked his return to the city after a September appearance at Soldier Field, where he reunited with Kid Cudi. Ye's Bully album, released in March, debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, and he has been on a global stadium tour ever since.
Upcoming destinations for Ye include Jakarta, Indonesia, on October 24 and a Halloween performance in Houston. Chris Brown and Usher, meanwhile, will return to Los Angeles for two more SoFi Stadium performances on November 20 and 21. The R&B Tour will continue on Tuesday, September 29, with a performance in Glendale, Arizona, at State Farm Stadium.
