The announcement was made through an Instagram Story shared by the artist himself, showcasing the tour schedule and a text overlay stating “16 million guaranteed upfront.” The screenshot, directed to someone named James, lists all the tour dates and venues, with Nairobi being a prominent stop. This news has generated excitement among local fans and sparked discussions among international media personalities.
CNN’s Larry Madowo shared the news on social media, expressing cautious optimism about whether the event will take place. Local fans like Mwangi are already making plans to secure tickets, mixing anticipation with humour about the event’s buildup. Kanye West himself expressed his pride in performing in Nairobi, stating, “Kanye West To Perform In Nairobi. The International rapper has chosen Kenya as his first stop in Africa and the only in the region to put up an epic performance. Nyayo Stadium will be full. This is such good news!”
There have even been some lighthearted comments about what will happen after the event. Totty humorously suggests, “Mshaanza ku police event ya Kanye ???. Hii lazma nilipie Son.. it’s our opportunity to be at Diani two weeks after the event.” This sentiment is shared by many fans who are determined to see the legendary artist perform live. Some fans are even dreaming of a duo performance, with one suggesting, “Kanye West should bring Jay Z along to Kenya.

We can’t struggle to pay ticket and struggle to hear your message.” As the excitement continues to grow, the global hip-hop community is paying close attention. Another fan emphasized this, saying, “Kanye West to Nairobi. We love it and I think we deserve it. People don’t know the Kanye’s influence in Hip hop. Kanye is hip hop.”
