However, during the third and most recent event, Jay-Z’s fiery verses on “Jail” were replaced by new verses by DaBaby - setting off a firestorm of outrage online - and several other popular verses were dropped. Jay-Z, the Weeknd, Travis Scott, Young Thug, Pusha T, the late Pop Smoke, Baby Keem, Jay Electronica, Kid Cudi, the Lox, and many others appeared on its various incarnations. The album, which is nearly two hours long in its released version, changed dramatically over the course of the listening events - one in Las Vegas, two in Atlanta on July 23 and August 6, and last Thursday in Chicago - with drastically different running orders and song selections and featured vocalists. The album’s arrival time coincides thematically with West’s church-like “ Sunday Service” performances from recent years.

It is unclear when the album was actually posted, but a press release from West’s label, Def Jam, arrived at around 8:15 a.m. After five weeks, four official public listening sessions and millions of words of speculation from the media, Kanye West finally released his “Donda” album to streaming services on Sunday morning.
