KANYE West has enraged fans with his latest concert – and many are planning to boycott the star.
Kanye, 46, performed at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday night as a headliner for the Rolling Loud music festival, but revelers were horrified by what took place.

During his set at Rolling Loud, the rap music icon took the stage alongside Ty Dolla $ign, whom he collaborated with on his latest album, Vultures 1.
However, fans were stunned when they turned up to find that the event was a listening party rather than the live performance they’d been promised.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, Rolling Loud made sure to clarify that fans could expect a live show before the duo took to the stage.
“Is he performing or is it a listening party?” one fan asked.
“You don’t see listening experience on the Yeezy flyer, do you,” Rolling Loud sassily responded.
In another post, a festival goer begged, “Are [Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign] going to perform or just stand there?”
“Perform,” Rolling Loud responded.
However, the festival’s social media page later added, “Oops idk bro it’s on him.”
In reports from the event, fans confirmed that Kanye only put on a listening show, playing songs from Vultures 1 while he danced on stage before leaving the stage and letting some of his older hits play on.
Fans were also hoping to hear some tracks from Kanye’s next release, Vultures 2, but were left disappointed when no new music came, with the album still unreleased despite its promised drop on March 8.
FAN FURY
In a post from the night shared on Instagram, fans were quick to share their experiences.
“S**t was a scam, mid, a disappointment. Not even a concert, worst concert I’ve been to probably,” one person blasted.
“Ngl [it] was a joke, someone tell them to pick up a mic,” another fan added.
“False advertisement was a listening party not a concert,” said a third.
Over on Reddit, fans had similar criticism, with many claiming that they’d lost respect for Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband.
One social media user described, “I just got back home from Rolling Loud, it was as bad as everyone is saying. Event was supposed to start at 8, Ye and Ty are like 30 minutes late.
“They play Vultures 1, without picking up a microphone once. Then they leave after King, and the DJ plays old Kanye songs until it eventually clears out. No new V2 songs were played. The whole thing was total scam.”
“I genuinely am such a Kanye die hard fan, but I feel so betrayed… Also Rolling Loud had handled that so poorly, staff didn’t know what was going on and people were getting crushed,” added a second.
“Kanye is a scumbag,” a third hip-hop fan wrote.
“Stop buying, it’s easy!” another commenter encouraged.
BLACKLISTED
Kanye’s festival performance comes after The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Kanye was told he couldn’t perform at venues across Europe, Asia, and Australia due to his controversial image.
The U.S. Sun reported that he recently undertook a charm offensive in Europe in a bid to find arenas that would help him showcase his latest album.
However, after approaching promoters in Madrid, Berlin, Cologne, and Munich, the answer was a resounding no.
He also tested the waters in Asia, Australia, and the Middle East, and faced a similar response.
A music insider claimed “it will be very, very hard” for Kanye to find venues despite his solid fanbase.
“His reputation and the controversies in the last few years are the main reason for this,” the source explained to The U.S. Sun.
“Now almost no companies that manage arenas or stadiums want to allow him to do shows on their venues.”
