Kanye West left his set Sunday Night (July 26) at the Pan Am Games in Toronto after technical difficulties caused his to smash his mic. Watch video footage below.
Ye's performance at the closing ceremony for the Pan American games was controversially ended abruptly. The performance was earlier disputed by 50,000 online petitioners who lobbied for the Chicago rapper to be taken off the bill.
Their petition read: "The options for Toronto artists are far from limited and choosing someone like Kanye West raises several concerns among the people. Why was a local artist or group not chosen and supported, just as our local athletes are throughout the games?"
It's not like Yeezy to back down against adversity, and the rapper showed up and played a 13 minute medley consisting of 'Stronger', 'Power', 'Black Skinhead', 'Can't Tell Me Nothing', 'Touch The Sky', 'The Good Life' and 'All Of The Lights'.
The powerhouse of a set reached an untimely end after technical difficulties. West was reported to finish the performance with 'Gold Digger' but technical troubles caused him to throw his mic in the air and exit the stage.
