Fans around the world have been reacting as Kanye West finally dropped his long-awaited ‘DONDA’ album today (August 29).
Fans have been reacting to the album’s long awaited arrival, as well as its running time, which comes in at a lengthy 1 hour 48 minutes in total.
Fans have also reacted joyfully with news that second track ‘Jail’ does indeed feature a guest verse from Jay-Z after earlier reports that it wouldn’t remain on the album.
Other early reaction has seen fans reacting to Kid Cudi’s guest appearance and the fact the album seemingly contains no swearing.

News came yesterday (August 28) that West had turned in ‘DONDA’ for release on streaming services this weekend.
According to HITS Daily Double, Kanye delivered ‘DONDA’ to DSPS once before, only to take them back for further work – meaning that fans were sceptical as to whether a release would actually arrive or not.
The release of ‘DONDA’ has been announced and rescheduled several times across an extensive roll-out campaign.
Earlier this week, Kanye held a third and final listening event in Chicago, which featured controversial appearances from DaBaby and Marilyn Manson.
