According to published reports, Ye’s Tuesday (December 3) night concert suffered from low attendance.

Kanye West’s troubled-plagued tour continues with the latest stop on the Yeezus extravaganza filling only 4,500 of the over 19,000 seats in the Kansas City Sprint Center. Kim Kardashian‘s baby daddy has had to cancel multiple concerts on the tour for what he says are technical difficulties, and the Tuesday night show was a “thin turnout,” according to the Kansas City Star. “West almost certainly could have filled the Sprint Center five years ago,” the paper reported. “Tuesday’s poor attendance indicates how his scandalous love life, frequent impolite pronouncements and his gradual shift away from conventional hip-hop have alienated many of his fans.” (RadarOnline)

A few days prior, Mr. West worked up a fit during his Tampa, Florida performance due to technical issues.

West threw a tantrum during his Tampa, Fla. concert on November 30, stopping the show after only three songs, demanding the lights be turned off, spewing an expletive rant at his tech crew and storming off stage. However, in Kansas City West was more contrite and didn’t rant for too long, just talking to the audience for a mere eight minutes. “I don’t always say the right things at the right time,” he said. “I’m better at saying the wrong things at the wrong time.” (RadarOnline)

Last month, Mr. West singled out Lenny Kravtiz during his New York Yeezus concert.

Kanye West wowed the Garden Sunday night — but interrupted the concert for a 20- minute rant against the fashion industry, calling himself “The 2Pac of this [bleep]” and the “No. 1 rock star on the planet.” In the middle of a blistering performance, West went on a bizarre diatribe about Lenny Kravitz — not realizing that Kravitz was actually there in the audience cringing. Before a crowd that included Leo DiCaprio, Idris Elba, Busta Rymes and John McEnroe, West raved, “It’s so funny when people compliment me and they say the word ‘genius’ as if that somehow separates me from other rappers in some way …. I need you all to realize that Jay Z is a genius, and Drake is a genius …. we are the modern day poets, obviously.” (Page Six)

The rap star previously called out pop star Bruno Mars and the MTV Video Music Awards at a Brooklyn Yeezus stop.

Kanye West had his second of two performances at the Barclays Center last night, and this time, he decided to voice his opinion about the MTV Video Music Awards. According to Kanye, he was outraged that Bruno Mars won “all the awards.” Mars won the awards for Best Choreography and Best Male Video, the former for “Treasure” and the latter for “Locked Out Of Heaven.” According to Kanye, these awards were given to Mars in order for the networks to sell the most product using “the prettiest motherf*cker out.” Kanye attacked Media Takeout and those who comment on the site (which he apparently looks at beyond the 10th comment). He took issue to those who call the Yeezus tour “the best rap concert,” insisting it’s the best show across any genre of music. He also recounted a conversation he had with Oprah recently. She apparently told him, “They’re scared of you, Ye.” (Complex)
