TMZ reported that West was so inspired by the crowd of hundreds that turned out for the “Donda” listening party that he wanted to stay in Atlanta to finish the album.
Channel 2 Sports Reporter Allison Mastrangelo reached out to officials with Mercedes-Benz for confirmation, but hasn’t gotten a response yet.
It’s unclear if West is recording any new material at the stadium.
