Kanye West breaks his own record for biggest rap concert in U.S. history with 83,132 fans
Kanye West has broken his own record for the largest hip-hop concert in U.S. history. His show last Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Dallas drew 83,132 fans, making it the most-attended rap concert in the country.
According to his representative, the performance also generated more than $18 million in reported gross revenue in a single night. That figure makes it the fifth-highest-grossing concert in U.S. history.
The claims about attendance and earnings come from West's representative, as relayed by Variety, and the report does not say they were independently verified. The milestone is notable because West is beating a record he already held. It also shows how large a stadium audience a hip-hop artist can draw, and how much revenue such a show can bring in.
