Kanye “Ye” West will return to the stage next month for a one-night concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
The event is billed as “Ye Live in Los Angeles” and takes place on April 3, according to the venue’s website.
General admission tickets go on sale March 11 at 10 a.m./1 p.m. ET.
The concert marks the Grammy-winning rapper’s first major U.S. Show since he issued a public apology earlier this year for antisemitic comments and racist outbursts sparking backlash.
On Jan. 26, Ye took out a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal titled “To Those I’ve Hurt.”
The ad included apologies to the Black and Jewish communities for years of controversial comments.
“The Black community is unquestionably, the foundation of who I am. I am so sorry to have let you down,” he wrote. “I love us.”
West did not clarify what specific comments he was referring to, but he said slavery was a “choice” in 2018, upsetting many in the Black community.
Then in 2022, he caused anger by wearing a T-shirt saying “White Lives Matter,” which was considered an insult to the Black Lives Matter movement.
The “Homecoming” performer expressed regret in his ad for making antisemitic comments on social media and in interviews. The rapper said he “lost touch with reality” and blamed his behavior on head trauma he suffered in a 2002 car accident as well as untreated bipolar disorder.
“I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state, and am committed to accountability, treatment and meaningful change. It does not excuse what I did, though. I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people,” he said.
West insisted he is “not asking for sympathy, or a free pass” and asked for the public’s “understanding as I find my way home.”
The hip-hop star is scheduled to release his 12th studio album Bully on March 27.
