Kanye West is apparently staying at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium while working on his long-awaited new album, ‘DONDA,’ according to reports.
West took over the venue, which is home to Atlanta United FC and the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League, on Thursday night (July 22) to conduct a public playing of his tenth album.
According to TMZ, the rapper and producer is currently residing in the building while finishing up his album ‘DONDA.’
According to the publication, Ye has built a studio space and living accommodations for himself, and has even hired a private chef to make his meals.

GOD BLESS #DONDA #RESPECTFULLY,” West hasn’t said anything about the release date yet.
