Kanye West Drops Mic, Walks Off Stage at Pan Am Games Closing Ceremony

by Jackie Willis

Kanye West cannot be bothered with “technical difficulties” when he’s performing for a 40,000-plus audience.

The 38-year-old rapper was the headlining act during Sunday’s Pan Am Games Closing Ceremony in Toronto, Canada, but cut his concert short after encountering some audio issues.

While many say West – who was dressed in a stylish pair of ripped jeans, an oversized blue sweater, trendy sneakers and a gold chain – was fun and energetic during his show, his mood quickly changed when he started having mic problems between his performance of “Good Life” and “All of the Lights,” Billboard reports.

That’s when West threw his microphone up in the air and stormed off the stage without any explanation.

The CBS Olympics attempted to shed light on the incident by tweeting: “Official word from #TO2015 on Kanye’s mic issues: ‘Technical error.’”

Reports claim West only got through half of his set, but managed to get in most of his hits before his abrupt stage exit.

This isn’t the first (and probably not the last) outburst we’ve seen from West at a big event. At this year’s GRAMMYS, Yeezus threatened tostormed the stage when Beck won Album of the Year over Beyonce.

Earlier in the evening, the outspoken artist told ET that he felt the GRAMMYS way of choosing winners was “flawed.”

Even when he’s not performing, West sure knows how to cause a scene.
