It’s been a big month for celebs in the UAE. Last week, Love Island star Tommy Fury was s seen partying with Chris Brown at Blu Dubai, sparking break-up rumors from his fiance Molly-Mae Hauge.
As of November 24: Kanye West is living the high life in the UAE lately. On Thursday night, the rapper threw a private party in Abu Dhabi with some famous celebrity guests.
Chris Brown was in attendance, which is no surprise as the singer is in the city ahead of his After-Race Concert during the F1 Grand Prix weekend. Could this mean that Ye is gearing up for a special appearance at this year’s Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix? We sure hope so!

And it’s a great choice at that. AlUla continues to inspire multiple artistic projects, and is a popular spot for travellers to rest and recharge among incredible natural landscapes. From ancient relics to epic mountain ranges, AlUla seems the perfect place to influence Ye’s latest musical masterpiece.
