Kanye West had been on the sidelines following her anti-Semitic controversy.

However, for the past few years, he had been working to make his way back into the industry.

He began with apologizing for his hateful rhetoric and shared that he would take therapy.

With his latest album, Bully, Ye reportedly has stepped into mainstream music.

At SoFi Stadium, then, he delivered an unforgettable performance that left fans in a trance.

Now, he is set to create history in Istanbul with his stadium-packed show, claimed Milo Yiannopoulos.

He is the rapper's former chief of staff.

In his tweet on X, he claimed Ye's concert in Atatürk Stadium was expected to draw in over 120,000 fans.

This, if it happens, will make it the biggest ticketed stadium crowd, beating Zach Bryan's record.

Last year, the country musician attracted 112,485 fans at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Writing in the post, Yiannopoulos said, "Ye’s show in Istanbul will be the largest ticketed stadium event in history, beating a record set by Zack Bryan at The Big House in Michigan."

"Bryan played to 112,485 fans; Ye is expected to sell out the Atatürk Stadium’s maximum capacity configuration of over 120,000 people."

The hype is at fever pitch to witness a history-making show in Türkiye, which, if it gets the record-smashing numbers, would cement West's legacy as stunningly powerful despite being extremely polarizing figure.
