The wild, wild West has done it again.
A representative for Kanye West confirmed he decided to cancel the rest of the U.S Saint Pablo Tour after his wild outburst at his last concert.
This past Thursday, Nov. 17, rapper Kanye West went on a rant while onstage announcing that he is a Donald Trump supporter and told black Americans to “stop talking about race so much.” While this kind of act is typical for the outspoken rap star, there is so much more Kanye wanted to talk about.
On Saturday, West made an appearance in Sacramento, California for his next show where he reportedly left fans furious for ditching the stage after only performing three songs. Apparently, the show only lasted for thirty minutes, but there was a lot being said in that little amount of time.
According to Slate, the Power rapper arrived 90 minutes late and abruptly started addressing his feelings towards Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Hillary Clinton, and the entire radio industry. “Radio, f--k you! Oh yeah, I’m on my Trump shit tonight. Radio, f--k you!”
West also made a remark to the press: “Right now, press, get ready to write your passive-aggressive LeBron James racist comments … get ready, get ready, because the show’s over.”
After the calamity flared up, sources reported that West did make an effort to clearing up some of his comments. At the Thursday night show, West still wanted to let the people know that he is still a “believer” in Black Lives Matter, women’s rights and marriage equality.
Tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase, a representative told Pitchfork. Although for some that purchased privately that may not be an option.
No reason has been given for the cancellation and the possibility of a European continuation is questionable.
