Shortly after sharing the post, West appeared to have been contacted by many to offer him some help. He released screenshots of his text exchanges with a number of people, who assured him that they could help in booking venues. Upon learning that many have ran to help, the Father stretch my hands Pt 1 rapepr issued a follow-up statement on the same social media platform.

Earlier that same day, West let out a video to talk about his struggles to book arenas for his shows.
