MSG Concert Page Disappears ... FANS PANIC!

0127-west-garden-tmz-getty-01Kanye West fans are going nuts -- the pre-sale ticket page for his "Waves" album release show mysteriously vanished Wednesday morning, but remain calm. It's gonna be okay.
American Express pre-sale tickets were scheduled to go on sale at 10 AM EST for the February 11 show, but Ticketmaster's site is showing a message saying the event no longer exists.
A source close to Kanye tells TMZ the event is still 100% on -- but it's still unclear what the issues are with Ticketmaster and the pre-sale. Tickets are also supposed to be sold at MSG on Thursday and to the general public on Friday ... but we'll see.
We've reached out to Ticketmaster and American Express ... so far, no word back.
Bottom line: Concert's happening ... but ticket sales seem up in the air.

'I am your OG and I will be respected': Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa face off

Rappers trade barbs on Twitter about music, ‘tight jeans’ and Amber Rose after Khalifa accuses West of stealing the title of his forthcoming album Waves

Twitter, which has brought the public some of its most beloved public arguments – including Taylor Swift v Nicki Minaj and BoB v Neil deGrasse Tyson – has played host to another great face-off: Kanye West and fellow rapper Wiz Khalifa.

When West announced that his upcoming album would be titled Waves rather than Swish, Khalifa claimed he’d stolen the name from Harlem rap artist Max B. “Please don’t take the wave,” he tweeted.

After various tweets about Max B and waves, Khalifa added: “Hit this kk and become yourself.”

West didn’t handle seeing the initials of his wife, Kim Kardashian, in the tweet well. He proceeded to post a plethora of responses lashing out at Khalifa. “Your first single was corny as fuck and most there after,” he tweeted.

Khalifa explained: “KK is weed fool. Reason’s why your not wavy. Go bacc to Swish.”

But West continued. He has since deleted his Twitter rampage.

He moved on from insulting Khalifa’s music to attacking his family. “You let a stripper trap you,” West tweeted, referring to Khalifa’s ex-wife and West’s ex-girlfriend Amber Rose. He later made reference to Khalifa’s son with Rose: “I know you mad every time you look at your child that this girl got you for 18 years.”

West continued to mix insults and self-praise for a while.

He did throw in the occasional compliment, stating he thought Khalifa dressed cool, adding: “I wish I was skinny and tall.” But West quickly turned his compliment around in his next tweet, with the characteristic thought: “Maybe I couldn’t be skinny and tall but I’ll settle for being the greatest artist of all time as a consolation.”

West ended his Twitter rant with a thank you for the extra promotion for Waves. He explained that he loved the world and “all I want is peace and positive energy”. His final tweet, aimed at Khalifa, apologized for the earlier confusion.

Kanye West changes album name to 'Waves,' will premiere new album with Madison Square Garden performance

m release fit for a self-proclaimed god.
Rapper Kanye West will debut his highly anticipated new album, "Waves," with a live performance at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 11.
The concert event is being billed as the "world premiere of the album" on the Garden's website, and theaters across the globe are set to stream the performance for those who can't make it to the World's Most Famous Arena.

West is also expected to present his YEEZY SEASON 3 fashion line at the show, which will include an appearance from Italian contemporary artist Vanessa Beecroft as well.
After announcing his Madison Square Garden debut, the rapper made a last-minute change Tuesday night to the album's previous name, "Swish."
It's the third name change from West, who in March initially dubbed the album "So Help Me God."
Presale tickets will be available on Ticketmaster on Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET. They go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. ET.
Fans have long been clamoring for the release of "Waves" — which will serve as the follow-up to West's critically acclaimed 2013 album, "Yeezus."
The 38-year-old rapper announced on Monday that he had finally finished the then-titled "Swish" after working on it for more than a year — and he also shared a first look at its official 10-song track listing.
Also on Tuesday night, the rapper shared an image of a notepad, which listed an additional track titled "Ultra Light Beams."
"So happy to be finished with the best album of all time," he shamelessly tweeted Monday.
He continued the high praise on Tuesday when he said the album should be considered much more than the best album of 2016.
"This is not album of the year," he wrote. "This is album of the life."
The new album features several songs already released by West, including "Wolves," "Real Friends," and his head-bobbing compilation with Kendrick Lamar, "No More Parties in L.A."

Somewhat surprisingly, however, neither of his recent collaborations with Beatles icon Paul McCartney were included on the album, nor was his mega-popular 2015 hit, "All Day."
It's possible several more tracks will surface before the long-awaited release of "Waves,” as his wife Kim Kardashian teased earlier this month that he'd put out a new song from the album every Friday until the premiere.

He held true to the promise on Jan. 8 when he released "Real Friends," but was three days late in dropping "No More Parties in L.A." and hasn't released another song since.
"Waves" will be West's seventh solo studio album.
In response to West's latest announcement, the rock band Wavves teased they would name their next album "Kanye."
