Donda release date
Fans believed that Kanye West's new album 'Donda' would drop on Friday, July 23, since the rapper had held a massive listening event held at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium to officiate the release on the day. Even though Kanye West turned up after a 110 minute-wait to release his album in front of 42,000 people in the stadium, the wait was worth it, since it helped scores of fans hear the album as it dropped.
However, as other fans rushed to catch the new album on Apple Music and Spotify they realized that Donda had not been released yet. Shortly after queries on 'Why Kanye West's Donda is not on Spotify yet', 'Donda Spotify release date,' and 'Why Donda is not on Apple Music yet', began to emerge on social media. Well, now Justin Laboy who had been closely monitoring updates on Kanye West's 'Donda' album has confirmed that it will release on August 6.
