The week ended with music in France. Kanye West, who now calls himself Ye, organized a very special event on Sunday February 25, 2024 at the Accor Arena in Paris.

February 25 was definitely a busy day for the Kardashian-West kids. Saint had the chance to meet footballer Lionel Messi in Carson, California during a match between Los Angeles and Miami. An incredible life for a family which is, therefore, just as…
