If you only read the state run media channel for the reality family, you would have thought a recent public performance was the greatest show ever.
You would have thought people were healed and the dead raised.
It turns out that it was a disaster, but that won’t stop the former A+ lost rapper from trying again to find new ways to take more of people’s money.
If he is so anti-money, why didn’t he do the show at cost? Hmmmm.
E!

Kanye West opera Nebuchadnezzar
Kanye West’s ‘Nebuchadnezzar’ opera was a loud flop
Kanye West is continuing to alienate fans.
Attendees were disappointed by the artist’s only performance of “Nebuchadnezzar,” his first-ever opera, on Sunday. The hourlong gospel-take about the longest-reigning king of Babylon started late, had rough acoustics and didn’t sell out, the audience reports.
A livestream of the opera on the platform Tidal was delayed over an hour, with West instead playing older songs on repeat — a move one watcher referred to as “the most Kanye thing ever.”
And when it did start, it was a scream.
After waiting double the performance’s length for the show to begin, West presented the opera by bellowing and moaning — to show the struggle of King Nebuchadnezzar. He then narrated the performance from his annotated Book of Daniel from the sidelines, only making an appearance on stage for the final bow.
Twitter critics declared the show a money grab and were generally horrified by the show, saying even the backup vocalists’ “beautiful voices are not enough to save it.”
The opera was directed by Italian performance artist Vanessa Beecroft and starred rapper Sheck Wes as the title character.
Videos of the venue reveal a crowded, but not sold-out, space. USA Today reports that tickets for the opera, originally priced at $150 on Monday, had been discounted to $60 by Thursday, and the day of the performance there were still tickets available, seats then going for just $20 on Ticketmaster.- Source
