Kanye West took his talents to Manila, Philippines on Saturday (April 9) for the country’s star-studded Paradise International Music Festival.
The unfiltered multi-hyphenate — whose recent release The Life of Pablo debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — rocked the mic with his Pablo cuts a la “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1” and “Famous.” He also incorporated his verse from Drake’s new single “Pop Style,” where both ‘Ye and his Watch The Throne collaborator Jay Z feature.

West also treated the Filipino crowd to a freestyle. “I don’t wanna be liked/ If that means I gotta be like what everybody else like,” he sings in Auto-Tune. No word on whether the bars will make it onto the rapper’s forthcoming eighth studio effort Turbo Grafx 16, slated for a summer release, according to Kanye.
West has hinted that a Life of Pablo tour is on the horizon in addition to his headlining set at this year’s Governors Ball Music Festival at Randall’s Island Park in New York City on June 3-5.
