Why is Kanye West at Inter’s Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid? 

Rap star’s presence at San Siro explained after song credit revelation & Taylor Swift spat at Super Bowl in Las Vegas

Kanye West has struck up a surprising bond with Serie A side Inter and will be among the crowd for their Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Chicago-born rap star is in Europe ahead of putting on a show for his loyal legion of fans. He will perform a concert in Bologna on Saturday, but has made a point of swinging by Milan during his visit to Northern Italy.

It was recently revealed that Inter supporters from the Curva Nord section of their ultras fan base have received a song credit on Kanye’s latest album, ‘Vultures 1’, with Ty Dolla Sign. A choir made up of Nerazzurri followers features on the tracks ‘Stars’ and ‘Carnival’.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Curva Nord at San Siro is renowned for generating a boisterous atmosphere at Inter home games, with their passion now being recognised by Kanye in his first album release since delivering ‘Donda’ in 2021.

WHAT NEXT?

Kanye’s appearance at Inter’s continental clash with Atletico will be his first at a sporting event since reportedly being removed from his seat at Super Bowl LVIII following a complaint from pop superstar Taylor Swift – who did not take kindly to seeing the 46-year-old purposely purchase tickets in front of her at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
