Kanye West is facing backlash after bringing out Marilyn Manson during the rapper’s listening event for his upcoming album Donda.

During Thursday’s event fans were left puzzled and upset when Manson, 52, appeared on the porch of a replica of West’s childhood home onstage during the listening party at Chicago’s Soldier Field. A spokesperson for Manson said that the singer’s voice is featured on the new album.

“Marilyn Manson’s voice is featured on Donda, and he will continue to conceptually collaborate with Ye on the Donda project,” the spokesperson said.

At the same time, DaBaby, who apologized last month after making misinformed comments about the LGBTQ community and HIV, stood on the front porch steps to perform his verse on the song “Jail,” which seemed to replace Jay-Z’s surprise verse.

Thursday’s listening party did not require the thousands of fans in attendance to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or provide proof of a negative test, and a Chicago Park District spokeswoman said the venue’s reduced capacity emphasized the city’s commitment to health and safety protocol amid the ongoing pandemic.

Manson — who is facing four sexual abuse lawsuits and has been accused by more than 15 women of sexual assault — did not perform at the Donda listening event. His appearance, however, baffled fans, with many taking to twitter to ask why the controversial figure was there.
