Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West continues to dominate headlines as new reports claim Yeezus may have experienced a meltdown before his publicized “Saturday Night Live” performance last weekend.
Details of what may have allegedly went down moments before Yeezy’s live performance have surfaced online this week.
“Just moments leading into the live show, and during the live show, Kanye had a meltdown and threatened to walk off,” said a source familiar with the scene. “It had something to do with the set,” said a source. “Kim, who was in the audience with Kylie Jenner, had to come down. [‘SNL’ executive] Lorne [Michaels] had to personally talk to Kanye. There were a few really tense minutes” when it looked like West was walking, leaving the live NBC show in the lurch.” (Page Six)
G.O.O.D. Music affiliate Rhymefest recently shared his concerns over Kanye’s mental well-being on Twitter.
Kanye performed alongside Thugger and a few key high-profile musicians on the popular broadcast last Saturday (February 13) evening.
Following an introduction from host Melissa McCarthy, he debuted “Highlights” alongside a star-studded cast including Young Thug, El DeBarge, Kelly Price, The-Dream, and A$AP Bari. For his second performance, Kanye was joined by Kirk Franklin, The-Dream, Kelly Price, and Chance the Rapper (in his second appearance this season) for the live debut of “Ultralight Beam.” (Rap-Up)
Young Thug promoted their “SNL” appearance on Instagram.
Reality television star Kim Kardashian West boasted about her hubby’s appearance on IG.
