Kanye West‘s studio where he recorded Donda can now by rented for the modest sum of $50,000 per hour.
The makeshift studio Kanye put together at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta to complete his 10th solo album back in 2021 is available to hire via the studio rental app Stufinder.
The studio, which comes complete with recording facilities, accommodates up to six people and allows smoking, according to the listing.
“The iconic Donda room,” the description reads. “Comes with recording set up. Past clients include Kanye West **Studio does not include Kanye West** bookings aren’t guaranteed.”
Stufinder posted screenshots of the listing on its official Twitter page on Monday (January 30) and made sure to keep people updated if the room gets booked.
“We are aware someone has listed the Studio room Kanye West recorded ‘DONDA’ on our App,” the company wrote. “We will update you when someone books it! Stay tuned.”
It added in a separate tweet: “You will only be charged if the host accepts the booking!! You’ll never have to worry about being scammed on Stufinder.”

Kanye West finished recording Donda at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium and even slept in the makeshift studio while hosting listening parties for the album.
According to Pigeons & Planes, he was paying up to $1 million a day to stay at the stadium. The Chicago rap mogul posted a photo of his room on Instagram at the time, showing basic items such as a bed, suitcase, clothing rail, television and dumbbells.
“Off the Grid” co-star Fivio Foreign previously revealed Kanye enforced a strict dress code for his studio sessions at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
“I learned [studio rules] from Ye,” he told the L.A. Leakers. “When we went to Ye’s shit he made us all wear like [Yeezy]. We had the vest on, he made us all wear Donda merch. I thought we were on Donda timing, I guess to get us in [that mindset].”
He added: “This is what he do. It’s like uniform. He give us Yeezys, some type of pants, cargo black-looking [pants] and Donda shirts. That’s what he do, so I guess it takes away the egos.”
Donda was released in August 2021 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 after earning 309,000 album-equivalent units in just five days of tracking.
The album, named after Kanye’s late mother, featured guest appearances from JAY-Z, The Weeknd, Playboi Carti, Lil Baby, Travis Scott, Lil Durk, Kid Cudi, DaBaby, Pop Smoke and many others.
It was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Rap Album at the 2022 Grammy Awards, with “Jail” winning Best Rap Song and “Hurricane” winning Best Melodic Rap Performance.
