Ye’s December Concert Collapses as Monyake Group Hands the Reins to Yeezy Production
The saga surrounding Ye’s long-awaited return to South Africa took a dramatic turn this week, as the much-publicised 13 December 2025 Johannesburg concert was officially scrapped. After days of growing confusion, anxious ticket-holders, and unanswered questions, Monyake Group (Pty) Ltd finally broke its silence, confirming that the show fans had been counting down to will no longer take place.
The announcement lands after months of anticipation and speculation surrounding Ye’s first major performance in the country in years—an event that was meant to dominate the December entertainment calendar. Instead, the spotlight has shifted entirely, revealing a reshuffle behind the scenes that few expected.

In a detailed statement released on Monday, Monyake Group confirmed the collapse of the scheduled date, while revealing a seismic shift in control of the project:
“Monyake Group (Pty) Ltd hereby confirms that the upcoming show will no longer take place on 13 December 2025.
“The show has been officially transferred to Yeezy Production, who will take over all future planning, communication, and execution of the event. This transition forms part of a wider strategic direction regarding the production and delivery of the show.
“The public is advised to await an official announcement from Ye’s platforms, where updated details about the new show date will be communicated.”
The statement—calm in tone but heavy in implication—signals an abrupt end to the local team’s involvement. For many fans, this shift explains the eerie silence that had hovered around the event in recent weeks, as promotional activity slowed and worry began to spread across social platforms.

Refunds Begin as Ticket Holders Seek Clarity
With the December date now off the table, the focus has turned to refunds. Monyake Group made it clear that all financial responsibility lands squarely with Ticketpro, the authorised ticketing provider.
Their statement also outlines the process, that existing tickets for the 13 December show will be fully refunded by Ticketpro. Ticket holders must follow Ticketpro’s official refund process found on the Refund Support email: info@ticketpro.co.za.
“All queries regarding refunds must be directed to Ticketpro as the authorised ticketing provider,” according to the statement.
For thousands who had already made travel plans, booked accommodation, or secured December outfits for the night—this confirmation is both a relief and a frustration.
What Comes Next? All Eyes on Ye
While the cancellation has landed with a thud, the story is far from over. With the project now in the hands of Yeezy Production, the future of the concert is being rewritten entirely. A new date, a new direction, perhaps even a new scale—everything now hinges on Ye’s internal team.
Monyake Group closed its statement with a final instruction for fans:
“Details regarding the rescheduled event under Yeezy Production will be communicated directly by Ye’s official platforms.”
For now, supporters will have to sit tight and wait for word from Ye himself—a fitting twist for an artist known for unpredictability, reinvention, and high-stakes theatrics.
A Final Word from Monyake Group
In wrapping up their announcement, the company offered a brief note of gratitude:
“We appreciate your patience, understanding and continued support.”
And with that, the curtain falls on the December show that was never to be—leaving fans hopeful, skeptical, curious, and counting down once again, this time to a date still waiting to be revealed.
