“This was a Kanye production — we were all invited guests. His team did the bulk of organizing, particularly the event planners MVD — which is run by sisters Massah David and Miatta David Johnson — and John McGuire, who is the architect of Kanye’s tours, including the floating stage, who brought in the sound system. Having said that, there were some pretty heroic efforts, including Def Jam’s international and promotion staff, and Mike Dean and Scooter Braun’s team were very much in the mix.”
