Kanye West surprised his fans in Paris with a special performance of his 2011 hit single, “N****s In Paris,” during a Vultures concert on Tuesday night.
The rapper, who recently released his collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures 1, brought back the classic track from his joint album with JAY-Z, Watch the Throne, and delivered it with his signature energy and charisma.
A clip of the moment has been circulating on social media, showing West rapping the catchy chorus and verses, while the crowd goes wild and sings along. The song, which was inspired by West and JAY-Z’s experiences in the French capital, has become a staple of their live shows and a fan favorite.
The song has also achieved commercial success, reaching Diamond certification from the RIAA, marking over 10 million sales.
Kanye West’s performance of “N****s In Paris” in Paris was a rare treat for his fans, as he has not performed the song with JAY-Z since their Watch the Throne tour in 2012.

The two rap icons have had a rocky relationship in recent years, with West publicly calling out JAY-Z for various reasons, such as not attending his wedding with Kim Kardashian, and not supporting him during his mental health struggles.
However, the two seem to have reconciled, as they were spotted together at Diddy’s 50th birthday party in 2019, and JAY-Z appeared on West’s 2020 album, Donda, on the track Jail.
West’s Vultures tour is in support of his latest project, Vultures 1, which he released earlier this month with Ty Dolla Sign. The album features guest appearances from Playboi Carti, Rich The Kid, Travis Scott, Chris Brown, Lil Durk, YG, and more artists.
He says that it is the first of three planned projects in the Vultures series, which he describes as “a new musical expression that transcends genres and boundaries.”
