Kanye’s cancellations include Houston date
After an epic rant over the weekend at his Sacramento, Calif., concert, Kanye West has canceled his remaining Saint Pablo tour dates, according to the online magazine Pitchfork.
The cancellations include his Dec. 2 date at Toyota Center, as well as stops in Dallas and San Antonio.
The Los Angeles Times, citing a law enforcement source, reported that the Los Angeles Police Department visited West on a disturbance call Monday that turned into a “medical emergency.”
West agreed to seek medical treatment, a law enforcement source said, and was hospitalized.
At his Saturday night performance, West ranted for over 10 minutes about Donald Trump, Beyoncé, Hillary Clinton, Mark Zuckerberg, MTV and the radio. He played a few songs and then ended the show after just 30 minutes. Fans, some of whom paid upward of $250 for the tickets were angry and seeking refunds.
Amateur videos circulated of West’s rant in which, among other things, he said he was hurt because he heard Beyoncé refused to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards unless she won video of the year over him. He also urged her husband Jay Z to call him and “talk to me like a man.”
West took aim at radio stations for playing the same stuff “over and over and over,” too and also addressed Clinton.
“It’s a new world, Hillary Clinton, it’s a new world,” West said. “Feelings matter. Because guess what? Everybody in middle America felt a way and they showed you how they felt. Feelings matter, bro.”
The performer said he was putting his life, career and “public well-standing” at risk by talking to the fans in the audience “like this,” adding that his Saint Pablo tour “is the most relevant (expletive) happening.”
