Kanye West cannot be bothered with “technical difficulties” when he’s performing for a 40,000-plus audience.
The 38-year-old rapper
was the headlining act during Sunday’s Pan Am Games Closing Ceremony in
Toronto, Canada, but cut his concert short after encountering some
audio issues.
While
many say West – who was dressed in a stylish pair of ripped jeans, an
oversized blue sweater, trendy sneakers and a gold chain – was fun and
energetic during his show, his mood quickly changed when he started
having mic problems between his performance of “Good Life” and “All of
the Lights,” Billboard reports.
UPDATE: Official word from #TO2015 on Kanye’s mic issues: “Technical error.” #CBCPanAm #closingceremony
That’s when West threw his microphone up in the air and stormed off the stage without any explanation.
The
CBS Olympics attempted to shed light on the incident by tweeting:
“Official word from #TO2015 on Kanye’s mic issues: ‘Technical error.’”
Reports claim West only got through half of his set, but managed to get in most of his hits before his abrupt stage exit.
This isn’t the first (and probably not the last) outburst we’ve seen from West at a big event. At this year’s GRAMMYS, Yeezus threatened tostormed the stage when Beck won Album of the Year over Beyonce.
Earlier in the evening, the outspoken artist told ET that he felt the GRAMMYS way of choosing winners was “flawed.”
Even when he’s not performing, West sure knows how to cause a scene.
