AceShowbiz - Kanye West recently delivered a memorable performance during the second night of his comeback concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on April 3, 2026. The event featured surprise guest appearances that thrilled the sold-out crowd of 70,000 attendees and viewers tuning in via the YouTube livestream.

During the show, Kanye West, also known as Ye, brought out the legendary Lauryn Hill, who appeared through a cloud of smoke dressed in flowing attire. The pair stood atop an orb-shaped stage designed to resemble Earth, igniting the audience’s excitement as they performed a stirring rendition of "All Falls Down." This song holds special significance for Ye, who sampled Hill’s live album track "Mystery of Iniquity" on the Grammy-nominated 2004 single. Due to sample clearance issues at the time, Ye enlisted Syleena Johnson to re-sing parts for the official release on The College Dropout.

Ye expressed a rare smile during the performance, a testament to the emotional connection he shares with Hill’s work. Over a year prior, Ye had referenced his then-unreleased 12th studio album Bully as his personal take on Hill’s iconic 1998 record The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. He explained on The Download podcast in February 2025 that Bully channels a similar energy and frequency, describing it as his "Miseducation" and "Gnarls Barkley album," acknowledging the complex themes surrounding the album’s title.

Later in the concert, Hill delivered a powerful performance of her hit "Doo Wop (That Thing)" before seamlessly transitioning into Ye’s "Believe What I Say," which samples her debut LP. Following this, Ye surprised the crowd by disappearing through a trapdoor, giving Hill full control of the stage. She quickly revealed she wasn’t alone, inviting her sons Zion Marley and YG Marley to join her. Together, Hill and YG performed "Praise Jah in the Moonlight," a 2023 single co-written by the pair.

The night’s excitement didn’t end there. Earlier in the concert, Travis Scott made a surprise appearance wearing a mask and a shirt emblazoned with the word "Unsane." The two artists performed their collaborative track "Father," which was released on March 28 as the lead single from Bully. Scott also delivered a set featuring "Fein," a popular track from his album Utopia.

Adding to the star-studded lineup, Ye invited CeeLo Green to perform the title track from Bully. Ye’s daughter, North, who had also appeared on the first night of the event, returned to perform "Bless Me" and "Piercing on My Hand," adding a personal family moment to the evening’s lineup.

In another notable segment, Ye welcomed André Troutman to the stage for a collaboration on their song "All the Love," further highlighting the diverse range of artists involved in the concert. These guest appearances, combined with Ye’s carefully curated setlist and stage design, contributed to a night many are already calling one of the greatest concerts of all time.

The event’s impact was felt not only by those in attendance but also across social media, where footage of the performances quickly spread, exciting fans and music critics alike. The collaboration between Ye and Lauryn Hill especially generated significant buzz, emphasizing the influence of Hill’s work on Ye’s evolving musical vision.

As Ye continues to promote his upcoming album Bully, this concert served as a powerful showcase of his artistic direction and connections within the music industry. The blend of new material, classic influences, and surprise guests created a dynamic experience that resonated deeply with fans.

With additional performances and guest appearances expected in future shows, the buzz surrounding Ye’s comeback and the Bully album is only set to grow. Fans eagerly await what comes next as Ye re-establishes his place in contemporary music through these high-profile events.
