Kanye West Brings Out Jack Harlow, Alicia Keys, and Pusha T in "Donda 2" Live Stream

Kanye West gave fans a preview of his upcoming album, "Donda 2," during a live-stream event on Feb. 22. The Miami event was broadcast on YouTube with West performing songs from "Donda" and "Donda 2" and some tracks he's featured on by other artists, including The Game's "Eazy" and Pusha T's "Diet Coke." Guest appearances included Alicia Keys, Jack Harlow, Pusha T, Playboi Carti, and The Game. Despite previous backlash, West also brought out Marilyn Manson and DaBaby. Manson has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women, including his ex-fiancée Evan Rachel Wood, and in July 2021, DaBaby spewed homophobic remarks and misinformation about HIV/AIDS to the crowd at the Rolling Loud Festival.

The live stream opened up with nearly three hours of the sound of a heartbeat before the performances, taking place surrounding a replica of his childhood home. Among West's most shocking moments were two songs aimed at his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, and her boyfriend, Pete Davidson. In The Game's "Eazy," West raps, "God saved me from that crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidson's ass." He later raps, "He's not a threat, send him a text, put him in a timeout . . . I'll put your security at risk. Never stand between a man and his kids," in the song "Security."

When it came to Kardashian, West sampled her "Saturday Night Live" opening monologue in "Sci-Fi," where she says, "I married the best rapper of all time. Not only that, he is the richest Black man in America. A talented, legit genius who gave me four incredible kids."

With the exception of the "Donda 2" live-stream event, the album will not be on streaming services. West announced on Feb. 17 that "Donda 2" will only be available via his own platform, the STEM Player, which will cost fans $200. Watch the full live stream above.
