Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have announced that they are bringing their Vultures listening experience events to China.
While the post has since been deleted, Kanye announced the performance on his Instagram which would see him and his Vultures collaborator put on a show in the country at an unnamed venue on September 15.
West and Ty were originally supposed to perform in Taiwan, which is in a governance conflict with China but that listening experience was canceled without explanation just days before it was supposed to go ahead.
Kanye of course briefly lived in China while his mother worked as a university lecturer at Nanjing University.

The most recent Vultures listening experience took place in South Korea where Kanye treated fans to hits from across his 20 year career.
He performed classic cuts such as “Gold Digger” and “All of the Lights” while also delving into more recent tracks such as “Ghost Town” and “Off the Grid”.
The South Korea show was most notable for what Kanye West did outside of the music as he addressed some of his favorite topics when speaking to the capacity audience.
During the sold-out gig, which opened with Kanye entering the Goyang Stadium on horseback, the Yeezy mogul surprised fans by showing love to on-again, off-again frenemy Drake.
Before diving into “I Wonder,” from his 2007 album Graduation, Ye said: “This one for Drake.”
He also dedicated the track to controversial fashion designer and influencer Ian Connor, who was previously accused of rape.

Elsewhere, Kanye started a “fuck Adidas” chant, encouraging the South Korean crowd to help him disparage his former business partners who he is currently locked in a legal battle with.
West has long been at odds the sportswear giant, even before their lucrative Yeezy partnership was terminated in 2022 due to his antisemitic comments.
In recent months, he’s accused Adidas of stealing his ideas, suing him for hundreds of millions of dollars and conspiring against both himself and potential collaborators.
This bitter feud was felt on Vultures 2, with Kanye rapping on the song “My Soul”: “We mass targeted, mass marketed / Mass incarceration, mass in police stations / Mass incorporated, fuck Adidas.”
