Kanye West Canceled The Rest Of His tour After a Bizarre Pro Trump Rant Because He's 'Exhausted'
Business Insider ^ | 1 hour ago | Paul Schrodt

A representative has confirmed that Kanye West is canceling the rest of his Saint Pablo tour, according to Pitchfork.

The decision comes after the rapper ended his set in Sacramento, California, on Saturday early. He performed only three songs and delivered an extended rant about politics, Jay Z, and Beyoncé.

"The Saint Pablo tour is the most relevant thing happening. If your old a-- keeps following old models, your a-- is going to get Hillary Clintoned. You might not like it, but you need to hear it," West said in the meandering rant, in which he also declared he was "on my Trump s--- tonight."

West had told another audience that he would've voted for Trump in the 2016 presidential election if he had voted at all, which sparked a lot of backlash.

"He's just exhausted," a source told TMZ of West's reasoning for canceling his concert dates. "He's been working around the clock on fashion design, both his own line and the Adidas line."

He had 21 more Saint Pablo tour dates scheduled after the Sacramento show. Tickets for the shows will be refunded, according to Pitchfork.

A star, why? Certainly not talent.

“One strange guy.

Smart, talented and strange tend to go together. I think you could add spoiled into the mix with Kanye too.”

He is not without talent. But, from interviews I’ve seen him - he’s not the sharpest bulb in the box. So, he’s got two out of three.

Exhaustion (when it comes to Kanye) means “nuts”. :)

He canceled after his rant against Beyoncé at the next concert.

He's trying to make up for this rant against Taylor Swift when he interrupted her acceptance speech....

Then he tried to raise money in some kind of Gofundme Internet thing. But then, luck of luck, his wife got mugged in Paris and a million dollars worth of her jewelry was stolen.

But, from interviews I’ve seen him - he’s not the sharpest bulb in the box.

He has called out Google and Facebook live from the stage accusing them of shaping the narrative to their own Progressive ends. Coming from deep within the black plantation like he has that shows he's capable of independent rational thought. Maybe perceptive and strong willed would be more descriptive of Kanye than intelligent (I've seen a few of his interviews too) but he's definitely thinking for himself and I cut someone that looks to be working their way out of the swamp and over to a rational point of view a LOT of slack. I hope he makes it all the way out and brings a few of his supporters with him.

That reminds me of Prince Andrew Cuomo- he would walk up to a door and wait for someone else to open it.

What the hell kind of mentality it is who thinks that way?

I’m no fan, but you have to give him credit for his Trump support. Takes a lot of guts to say those things to the audience that he works for.
