The rapper, who was previously married to Kim Kardashian, will be performing at the SoFi Stadium next month, which is home to the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers.
The venue, which has a capacity of 70,000, announced the news on Monday morning as they said: “YE: Homecoming.” He’s set to hit the stage on April 3.”
The rapper goes by the name ‘Ye’ after changing it back in October 2021.
General tickets will go on sale on March 11 at 10:00 a.m. PST and fans can head to Yelosangeles.com to sign up and pre-save his upcoming album “Bully.”
The site also revealed: “A few lucky pre-registrants will be selected to receive free tickets.”
Kanye has been teasing the release of his 12th studio album now after it was delayed several times.
Last year, the musician went on a days-long rampage on X, expressing multiple antisemetic views.
During his X frenzy, Ye claimed to “love Hitler” and labelled himself a Nazi alongside declaring he has dominion over his wife and calling for his “idol” Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to be freed from jail.

As a result, X owner Elon Musk put a warning on his account.
The business tycoon wrote in a post: “Given what he has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW. You should not be seeing that anymore.”
Ye later addressed the disclaimer on X and urged Musk to let him keep his account.
He said: “AS I TWEET IN CODE WORDS AND KISS ELONS A** AND BEG HIM TO NOT CANCEL MY ACCOUNT.”
He then later posted a video of himself where he promised that he’s of sound mind following his odious posts.
Ye said: “I know you’re all thinking I’m going something through right now and I’ve got bags under my eyes and s***.

“I wouldn’t want nobody to like, do an intervention on me – that’s why I wanted to put this video up cause you’re all thinking, ‘Ye really going it through something right now – somebody need to go get them or go take his Twitter and stuff like that’.
“But I’m just telling you calmly that I am in a good space – I’m really in a positive space, it’s cathartic.”
He also suggested that he didn’t regret a single post he made, explaining that he got his “ideas out” which was “very freeing”.
He added: “It was worth everything – it was worth everything to do that.”
The rapper then announced later that he was “logging out of Twitter” and appeared to take down his account, with a search of his name revealing his page no longer exists.
Last month, he issued an apology in the Wall Street Journal where he blamed his anti-Jewish outbursts on mental health diagnoses which he said resulted from a 2002 car accident.
He claimed: “Twenty-five years ago, I was in a car accident that broke my jaw and caused injury to the right frontal lobe of my brain.
At the time, the focus was on the visible damage—the fracture, the swelling, and the immediate physical trauma.
“The deeper injury, the one inside my skull, went unnoticed.”
In 2023, Ye said, “I’m not bi polar. I have signs of autism from my car accident.”
The ad revealed that Ye now believeed the diagnosis of bipolar disorder, despite having not believed it previously.
His new statement explained, “Bipolar disorder comes with its own defence system. Denial.
“When you’re manic, you don’t think you’re sick.
“You think everyone else is overreacting. You feel like you’re seeing the world more clearly than ever, when in reality you’re losing your grip entirely.”
Kanye added, “I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state, and am committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change.
“It does not excuse what I did though. I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people.”
