Los Angeles: Rapper Kanye West, professionally known as 'Ye', has set a new record with his concert at Dallas’ AT&T Stadium, which became the most-attended hip-hop concert in US history, Variety reported.
Around 83,132 fans attended the concert, which also became the fifth-highest-grossing concert in US history, generating more than $18 million in reported gross revenue in a single night, according to his representative, as quoted by Variety.
This marks the third time this year that West has broken his own concert attendance record.
Earlier, his concert at Houston’s Reliant Stadium on Halloween night drew around 80,210 fans, while his two shows at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium in April sold more than 74,000 tickets each.
The concerts featured a setlist of his popular hits, guest appearances and elaborate stage production.
The SoFi Stadium shows marked West's first concerts in the US since 2021, following a series of antisemitic comments and social media posts that sparked widespread controversy and led to several fans and business partners distancing themselves from him.
In January this year, West issued an apology in a full-page advertisement, seeking forgiveness for his past remarks. He also attributed his behaviour to his bipolar type-1 diagnosis.
