LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Metro police disbanded hundreds of people who gathered for an "album release party" hosted by Kanye West, or "Ye," in Las Vegas on Thursday night.
The event was a celebration of the upcoming release of West's newest album, "Vultures," and happened at 13850 S Decatur Boulevard in the area of Sloan, according to a flyer for the event.
According to a Clark County spokesperson, business license agents visited the location at approximately 9:45 p.m. Agents then issued a Notice of Violation to the main promoter for conducting business and holding a special event without a license or the proper permits.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was then notified and assisted in disbanding the event. "Officers assisted the county with dispersing 200 - 300 people at the unlicensed event."
"The investigation is ongoing as there may be additional violations and other businesses involved," the county told Channel 13.
The event's flyer said prices for admission and access to a live stream of the event started around $2000. Videos circulating on social media show West going on an antisemitic rant during the event.
