Guests at the sold-out show included his wife, Kim Kardashian West, along with her sisters and mother, and the couple’s daughter North West.

Jay-Z was reportedly in the house, as were Anna Wintour, Lil’ Kim and Lamar Odom.

It was the first public appearance by Odom since being found unresponsive at a Nevada brothel last October.

West showed a clip of a video game called Only One, showing people in white clothing flying through the sky, which he said was inspired by his mother entering the gates of heaven.

Donda West died suddenly in 2007 due to complications from cosmetic surgery.
