The artist met with luxury real estate agent Marcel Remus.
Kanye West – who also goes by the name Ye – has been spotted across the Middle East, from Saudi Arabia to the UAE. Over the last two months, the rapper has been seen in the region, which has led to rumours about Kanye West moving to Dubai. He has been seen staying (dining and partying) at Atlantis The Royal and held listening parties for his upcoming album, Vultures.
Kanye West is from Atlanta, Georgia, and grew up in Chicago, Illinois. He first rose to fame as a producer working for Jay Z’s record label, Roc-A-Fella.

On 28 October, Kanye was seen in Riyadh for the Battle of the Baddest at Boulevard Hall Stadium. He joined a star-studded audience, and American music executive, James Prince, shared an image of himself with the rapper. On 30 October, he was seen in Riyadh at the FACT Award-winning Smokey Beards Q with rapper-turned-entrepreneur, Mutah Beale. Plus, he was seen in the AlUla desert and was rumoured to be working on his new album.
