Kanye West addresses Tristan Thompson cheating scandal on new song as album gets debut at listening party
Any other musician would hold their album listening party at a swanky cocktail bar or their record labels skyscraper city office.
But no – those blessed enough to be invited to Kanye Wests album listening party were forced to trek out to the Rocky Mountains.
Yeezy has debuted his first full-length project since 2016s The Life Of Pablo, called Ye, against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains as he invited handpicked guests to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Media and industry movers and shakers attended the party, as well as stars including Pusha T, Chris Rock, Jonah Hill and Big Sean, with everyone listening to Ye where Kanye recorded the album.
And the lucky listeners were treated to Kanye rapping about everything from Tristan Thompson cheating on Khloe Kardashian to his wife Kims reaction to his controversial comments on slavery.

On one song, Kanye, 40, threw his in-law Tristan under the bus, saying: All these thots on Christian Mingle/Thats what almost got Tristan single.
Ooooof.
The dad-of-three then alluded to Kims reaction to him claiming that slavery was a choice.
The rapper is heard saying: Wife calling screaming saying were about to lose it all I had to calm her down cos she couldnt breathe/I told her she could leave me now but she wouldnt leave.
This is what they mean for better or for worse huh?
Kanye also name-checked Russell Simmons – who has recently been accused of sexual assault – rapping: Russell Simmons want to pray for me too/ I pray for him because he got Me Tood.
People report that Stormi Daniels and Kris Jenners boyfriend Corey Gamble are name-checked – but Kanyes pal Donald Trump doesnt get a mention.
More: Kim Kardashian
The album listening party was introduced by Chris Rock, who said: Welcome to the world premiere of the latest opus from the one and only Kanye West entitled YE.
Remember this rap music, hip-hop music, is the first art form created by free black men. And no black man has taken more advantage of his freedom than Kanye West. Listen without prejudice.
Kanye reportedly entered the party with wife Kim and his former manager Scooter Braun, but did not talk before debuting the album.
Ye features just seven tracks, with the previously released Ye Vs The People and Lift Yourself not making the cut.
Frank Ocean, Kid Cudi, Ty Dolla $ign, Nicki Minaj and Willow Smith all feature on Ye.
