Kanye West provides pop up Covid vaccine clinic at 2nd ‘Donda’ listening party

Kanye West provided pop up Covid-19 vaccination clinics at his second listening party for his latest album, Donda.

Kanye held the second listening party for his eagerly anticipated 11th studio album on August 5th at Atlanta’s Mercedes Benz stadium. 42,000 fans attended the event where they were offered Covid jabs on site.

The stadium’s Twitter account confirmed the jabs were available for fans prior to the event. “We are offering Pfizer vaccines to fans attending tonight’s listening party,” the account said. “Vaccines will be offered in sections 340-347 until 9:30pm,” they wrote.

The presence of the pop up clinics is somewhat of a surprise after the 21-time Grammy winner previously publicly stated his opposition to vaccinations.

“It’s so many of our children that are being vaccinated and paralysed … So when they say the way we’re going to fix covid is with a vaccine, I’m extremely cautious. That’s the mark of the beast,” he said in a interview with Forbes in July 2020.

“They want to put chips inside of us, they want to do all kinds of things to make it where we can’t cross the gates of heaven.

“I’m sorry when I say they, the humans that have the Devil inside them. And the sad thing is that, the saddest thing is that we all won’t make it to heaven, that there’ll be some of us that do not make it.”

In Kanye’s second Apple livestream listening party, the 44-year old unveiled an album featuring The Weeknd, Kid Cudi and a host of other stars. The iconic producer also hosted a listening part in July for the album.

The album was initially slated for release in July 2020 but this was delayed until July 23rd this year. Donda did not materialise however, and fans expect for it to drop later today. It follows up his 2019 release, Jesus Is King and two singles he shared in 2020. ‘Nah Nah Nah’ and ‘Wash Us In The Blood’ featuring Travis Scott.
