Kanye West has made Italy something of a second home over the last year, so it’s only right he got into the soccer spirit.
Ye was spotted in attendance at the famous San Siro stadium in Milan on Tuesday night (February 20) to watch Inter Milan take on Atletico Madrid in their Champions League round of 16 fixture.

The Chicago rap icon was dressed in an all-black ensemble which included a mask that completely concealed his face, which has become his unofficial uniform throughout the Vultures era.
He was joined by a host of family and friends including his wife Bianca Censori, Ty Dolla Sign, Playboi Carti, Rich The Kid, Jaden Smith, Russ and director Aus Taylor.

Kanye, Carti and Rich received an especially warm welcome as they were gifted custom Inter Milan jerseys with their respective names and the No. 10 on the back.
Ye and co. proved to be a good luck charm for the home team as they beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 thanks to a late goal from substitute striker Marko Arnautovic.
Kanye West’s appearance at the game is timely considering he and Ty Dolla $ign recently announced two Vultures 1 listening events in Italy slated for later this week.
Described as “a hi-fidelity audio experience,” the first concert will be held in Milan on Thursday (February 22) followed by the second in Bologna Saturday (February 24).

The ¥$ duo were initially hoping to debut their joint album in Italy late last year until they were forced to abandon plans.
Instead, Kanye and Ty premiered the project at Chicago’s United Center earlier this month before holding a similar show at New York’s UBS Arena. They have another European listening event scheduled in Paris on Sunday (February 25).
Vultures 1 was released on streaming services on February 10 after several delays and boasted appearances from Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, Freddie Gibbs, Quavo, Chris Brown and more.
Despite being temporarily removed from streaming platforms and losing one of its songs due to a sample dispute, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 after earning almost 150,000 first-week units.

Two sequels are set to be released in March and April, respectively.
