Kanye West Says He Broke Record at Istanbul Stadium Gig

Kanye West has claimed to have broken a record with his recent Istanbul stadium gig, drawing a crowd of 118,000 at Atatürk Olympic Stadium. The claim comes amidst controversy surrounding other concerts being axed and sparked a heated debate about the accuracy of free solo concerts. Despite Lady Gaga's 2017 show in Rio drawing over 235,000 fans, West's statement was met with skepticism from some who argue that larger crowds are possible without relying on corporate sponsorship.
