Kanye West’s rant at this concert left audiences angry and disappointed, after he not only showed up over an hour late, but also performed three songs before storming off the stage. He addressed stars like Beyoncé, Jay-Z and even Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg saying, “I’ve been sent here to give y’all my truth, even at the risk of my own life. At the risk of my own success. I’ll give y’all the truth. Jay-Z, call me, you still ain’t called me.… Jay-Z, I know you got killers. Please don’t send them at my head. Just call me. Talk to me like a man.” After facing a wave of backlash from his fans, Ticketmaster has been forced to refund tickets to the fans of West’s sold-out show.
