Kanye West breaks record, 118,000 people fill stadium in Turkey

American rapper Kanye West has attracted a lot of attention after a concert in Istanbul, where organizers claim that around 118,000 people attended at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium.

According to West's own statements, the show had broken records as the largest stadium concert in history.

The concert took place on Saturday evening and was accompanied by a festive format, including DJs, laser effects and the participation of other artists, including Travis Scott.

Organizers reported that the stadium gates were opened in the afternoon to manage the large influx of people, while public transportation in Istanbul was overloaded due to the high number of participants.

The Istanbul show also marked the start of West's new European tour, his first in nearly 11 years. However, the tour has hit a snag in several European countries, with some shows being canceled or postponed due to safety and public concerns.
