Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 3 fashion show and listening party for new album The Life Of Pablo drew around 20 million people to the live stream, according to Tidal.

However, there are a number of complaints from fans on social media who were unable to access the stream and view.

Apparently, there were technical issues due to sheer demand.

The star-studded event in New York’s Madison Square Garden attracted celebrities including Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian West – complete with blonde hair – and their daughter North West.

Kim’s best friend Jonathan Cheban, lately a contestant in the Celebrity Big Brother House, was in attendance, as were various members of the Kardashian clan, all dressed in white.

The surprise guest was former Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Lamar Odom who has been recovering following an overdose.

Fashionistas in attendance included Vogue Magazine head Anna Wintour and supermodel Naomi Campbell.

In addition to previewing his latest collection, Kanye premiered music from his seventh solo studio album, The Life of Pablo.

The man of the hour did not use a traditional runway walk to showcase his clothes, instead it was done all at once.

The rapper said of his latest release: “This is really a gospel album … It’s been a struggle. I feel so happy, I feel so much joy to create music without people s******g on me, and I thank my wife and family for supporting me.”

Kanye thanked adidas, Jay Z, Rihanna and his fans for their support.

Over on Twitter, fans gave The Life Of Pablo the thumbs up.
