It’s not easy to silence Kanye West when he’s onstage—just ask Taylor Swift! On Sunday, however, KanYe was nearing the end of his somewhat controversial Pan Am Games closing performance when a “technical error” cut the rapper’s performance short. According to the CBC Olympics official Twitter feed, those enjoying the broadcast version of Kanye’s performance could still hear him loud and clear, but his microphone cut off completely for those watching live from inside Toronto’s Rogers Centre. Needless to say, Mr. West was not amused. He appeared frustrated that the audio wasn’t working and after a few moments alone on stage, he threw his faulty mic in the air and stormed off. There’s no need to play the blame game here, because even in its abbreviated form, Kanye’s performance received favorable reviews and the crowd was cheering for more.
