After many people had their doubts regarding Kanye West's supposed concert taking place in Mzansi this coming December, the Monyake Group addressed some of the rumours circulating and also confirmed that the American rapper and songwriter was coming to SA.
According to TshisaLIVE, the Monyake Group broke their silence over the claims about payment failure and breach of their contract, which were made by the controversial Musa Khawula on social media in October 2025, leading many netizens to feel sceptical about Ye's concert.
Samuel Moyake shared that the concert will take place on 13 December 2025 at the Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg. This would make West's second visit to the country after he last came through in 2013, which would make it 12 years since he set foot in South Africa.
"The agreement between Monyake Group and Yeezy LLC is valid and in good standing, and all preparations are progressing in line with the signed contractual terms.
"Monyake the group is a registered and active company in good standing. We remain dedicated to delivering an outstanding event for fans and partners. False information circulating online suggesting deregistration, non-payment, and breach of contract is entirely unfounded untrue," Monyake Group said.
