Wild West’s night in Miami

-

KANYE West hit Miami for New Year’s Eve — the same location where new Kim Kardashian beau Pete Davidson hosted a TV special with Miley Cyrus.

There was even word that West was planning a last-minute concert of his own. The rapper now known as “Ye” posted an image on Friday announcing a “New Year’s Eve Black Party” in Miami, that included a pic of himself onstage with rapper Future — which led to reports he’d be putting on a live show.

But a source told us, “His team called everyone in Miami asking if they had a location to do a concert. At 6:15 p.m. on NYE. People just went back to their glass of champagne.”

Another source told us that wasn’t the only snag. “He wanted such a big group, like 50 or 60 people,” said the insider. “A lot of places just didn’t have the space.”

A source told us West wound up hanging out, but not performing, at a new club called Game Changers along with Future, Quavo and French Montana. He was also reportedly at P. Diddy’s Star Island manse during the night.

And as with all starry late nights in Miami — things ended with breakfast. Yet another source told us that West stopped by retro diner Big Pink at 6 a.m., but they were already closed. “There were still a few people working when Kanye and two or three bodyguards showed up,” said the source. “They were closed, but . . . a chef made him bacon, eggs, and waffles and they brought it to his car to go.”

A day before he hit Miami, West seemed to be in Belize with music exec J Prince and rapper-turned-local politician Shyne Barrow.

“Welcome to BELIZE my brother,” Barrow posted Dec. 30 with a pic of West at the airport. He also posted an image of the pair in the water, with the caption, “I’m beyond grateful.”

A source told us of West: “He has amazing news coming in 2022 on all fronts. It’s going to be a spectacula­r year for him, so he decided to come back to the US and celebrate.”

Ye’s reps didn’t comment.
