Kanye West Makes A Surprise Appearance At Travis Scott’s Orlando Concert Wearing A Mask

Kanye West surprised fans with a guest appearance at Travis Scott’s “UTOPIA: CIRCUS MAXIMUS TOUR” in Orlando, Florida on Wednesday (Jan. 31).

Donning a distinctive white mask, Kanye delivered crowd favorites from his 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, including “All Of The Lights” and “Runaway.” He also treated fans to a rendition of “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1” from The Life of Pablo. The excitement peaked when Ty Dolla Sign joined Kanye for “Fade” and “Vultures,” both part of their upcoming joint project.

Before the show, Scott hinted at the surprise on Twitter by sharing an image of Kanye wearing the same mask he later flaunted on his Instagram Stories. During the concert, Scott paid tribute to his mentor and frequent collaborator, acknowledging Kanye’s pivotal role in his career. He expressed, “I wouldn’t be here on this stage without my brother, man. He opened up these doors for me… Make some noise for the greatest of all time.”

Earlier in the day, Kanye’s daughter North West was spotted sporting a T-shirt featuring the updated tracklist for Vultures Vol. 1. The list included several tracks previously teased at the Miami and Las Vegas listening events. Among them were “Everybody” featuring Charlie Wilson, “Beg Forgiveness” featuring Chris Brown, and “F**k Sumn” featuring Quavo and Playboy Carti.

The 18-track album will also feature Future, Kid Cudi, YG, James Blake, Young Thug, and Freddie Gibbs. However, one notable absence is the Nicki Minaj-assisted “New Body.” In December 2023, Minaj declined Kanye’s clearance request as she was promoting Pink Friday 2 at the time.

During an Instagram Live session, Minaj clarified her decision, stating, “Now, regarding Kanye, that train has left the station, okay? No disrespect in any way. I just put out a brand-new album. Why would I put out a song that’s been out for three years? Come on, guys.”
