One of the world’s best-known rappers, Kanye West, was welcomed by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, who shared footage of their meeting on social media.

West arrived in Albania ahead of his concert scheduled for Saturday evening at Eagle Stadium in Kashar, on the outskirts of Tirana.

Eagle Stadium, built on a 65,000-square-metre site at the first kilometre of the Tirana–Durrës motorway, was constructed with the support of a €4 million government fund for the organisation of the event.
