Kanye West surprised fans on Saturday by performing in Paris only a week after his mother’s mysterious death. Kanye had been reclusive and not only skipped the 12th Annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show but also his mother’s memorial service. But Kanye’s emotions got the best of him towards the end of his performance when he attempted to dedicate the song “Hey Mama” to his late mother, according to People:
“He just cracked,” one attendee tells PEOPLE, “He was at the end of his concert and had just started to dedicate the song and then he just lost it completely.”
“He said the word, ‘Mother’ and just couldn’t go any further,” Le Parisien journalist Meddy Magloire said. “A back-up singer, the DJ and a guitar player came over to console him. It looked like he might collapse. He just couldn’t continue. He just stood there in a spotlight, crying while the band continued playing.”
The audience showed Kanye some love and applauded while shouting words of encouragement:
The band restarted the song, but West left the stage, returning after 10-15 minutes to conclude the concert with a rousing performance of “Stronger.”
“He was very nervous, seemed to have gathered himself up, and had a lot of energy,” Magloire says. “He kept shouting out to the audience, ‘I need you… I need you right now.’ and the public was screaming back. It was magic.”
While I don’t condone men crying, I’ll let this one slide. Kanye West’s mother died and he attempted to dedicate a song to her. That’s some emotional stuff, I suppose. I wouldn’t know seeing as I have no mother. I was grown in a test tube to battle terrorism and cure cancer. Some people might say that getting drunk at a strip club every morning then playing video games all day is accomplishing neither of these goals. I just have to ask these people, why do you hate America so much? And, also, why can’t I find a gentlemen’s club with decent Wi-Fi? This one blows and I’m pretty sure the chick dancing in front of me has a moustache. Wait, they all have moustaches. And, now that I think about it, Adam’s apples, too. Hmm, why is an alarm going off in my head? Oh, I’m out of beer. Waitress!
As always, I have a slightly different spin on Matthew’s gospel. I’d say he LOVES being viewed as a son who loved his mom. Whether or not he cares in a private, respectful, GROWNUP way…probably: not so much.
This is a great story for this site, because his act is so superficial.
of course any sign of emotion.. human feeling is just laughable right. these comments are so disgusting. wow.
People are just dying to look beautiful I guess.
#46? “Dude”. It’s “you’re”, not your.. Hypocrite. Go fuck your mother, chump. Then suck Kanye. I bet you’d swallow for your lord.
As for jealousy. That’s what somebody who can’t think of anything intelligent says. “Oh, yeah?! You’re just jealous.” Right.
CarQuest? You work there? There’s nothing wrong with work, honey. It’s cool. Maybe you can get a little raise. Maybe get that Hyundai you’ve been eyeing out there on the lot. Seriously, you work there? No, with a name like “sizzurp” you’re most likely a “struggling” DJ or some lame shit like that. No? A struggling dancer? Something gay. Very gay whatever it is.
You’re a dimwit. When I hate somebody, I sure as fuck don’t defend their honor. Maybe you find Kanni-Kan-Kan attractive. Maybe you just eat black shit. Maybe you’re changing your tune because you’re starting to realize that I’m correct. You’re right, champ. He is “hot”. And “wealthy”. And hung?
Why are you as interested in my cock as I am? I’m not fag but I’d let you taste it. Who knows? I might even ejaculate for you. Too delu.
Agreeing and laughing with 7, 10, 13, and 15.
Nostradamus predicted this. He said that:
“all humans grow, mature and become less self-centered when bereaved. Except for Kanye, who will be a black musical entertainer with limited appeal in the early 21st century.”
“If you admire somebody you should go ahead and tell them, people never get the flowers while they can still smell them………….”
I’ve never lost a mother, but I know I would be a wreck for a while, especially if she died unexpectedly. So the comment about Kanye riding the sympathy wave for a while is a bit out of line….getting over your mom’s death takes time. If he’s still upset in a few weeks, it’s because he IS, not because he wants attention
I still think it’s really sad he lost his mom no matter what reason.
***
I also still think it’s a matter of taste whether we think Kanye is a real “musician” or not. You say album sales etc don’t matter and no indicator of talent.
Okay.
Then how do we judge “talent?” WHO decides what talent is? You? Your neighbor? The POTUS? And once we decide what talent is – WHO decides which people fulfill that criteria?
There’s always going to be people who think a particular artist sucks for one reason or another – and in the end it’s all bias.
I really liked what 31 had to say. And 47.
You people fucking suck, I’m getting sick of this shit.
And I know you’re thinking “well then don’t read this site”
So I’m not going to anymore
Just thought I’d put my final word in, ya know?
#58? You have more than one mother? Your father’s a tranny father-mother? Oh, I see.
I’m only glad that you haven’t lost “a” mother yet. God bless you!
How is her death in any way mysterious?
I’m sick of people acting fucking surprised. It was SURGERY, it happens.
What a pussy…
lmao @ #31, #47, #60 etc.
They have nothing better to do than to come to places not aimed at them and bitch that people are acting in a way that they are not happy with.
It’s the usual thing, instead of taking up a decent cause they get to feel all fuzzy inside by proving their “moral superiority” bitching at trolls on a website. Well done!! Your parents would be proud! (if they weren’t also dead, since you’re probably about 50…)
Oh yeah, notice I said TROLLS. Why don’t you just ignore the comments that are obviously full of shit and trying to get people fighting, is that so hard?
If you are so easily offended, i’m warning you to LOG OFF NOW, lest you come across tubgirl.
you guys are horrible…his mother died and all you have to say is that you hope he is humbled and that he just wants attention. wow… if thats your first reaction when you hear that somebody has died then i feel sorry for you.
Hahaha I agree #34, those fucking stupid palestinian dramas are so staged.
And #47 is right, these superfish stories all end in the SAME EXACT way and it’s not funny anymore. Example:
Heidi Klum has coke on her nose. This story would almost make me laugh because we all know that Heidi was given birth to by a giant wombat vagina, but I can’t because I’m too busy thinking about how awesome I am and how many chicks I get with my huge penis. Ok, so they’re not chicks, they’re wombats, but you get the point. That’s what my dad said to me before he got my mom pregnant and left her for a kangaroo. But that’s ok because we all have issues. But my issue is that I’m so awesome and have such a huge penis. It’s so hard. Get it? Hard?
ahahahahahahahhahahahhaha. Ha. Ha. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH. LololloLOOOLLOOLLLLLLLLOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!! Hee. Eee. Eeehhee. Ehhhehehehehhhheeeehhhhhheeeeehhheeehooohhhhoooooahahahhhhaaaahhhhh. lawlawlawlawlawlawlawlawlawlawlawlawlawlawl, HIS MOM DIED AND HE’S A NIG!
P.S. I stole your site link, out_the_pooper, cause who doesn’t not like poop?
“Sorry for him, but he’s not the only person in the world to lose their mother. I can think of a million other more important people who have suffered the same loss. ”
Not only is this comment completely irrevelant but highly stupid as well. Nobody ever mentioned that he was the only person who lost his mother. Everyone does at some point or another stupid ass. So because millions of ppl lose their mothers he does not have a right to grieve or have ppl have sympathy for him? You’re seriously scum for saying stupid s**t like that. I feel sorry for you and no matter what you say to retaliate just know this…You come off as one dumb piece of s**t.
Kanye’s got a legit reason to grieve. I’d like to see anyone not cry when someone they love dies.
Nobody said he shouldn’t be upset. We’re saying he’s being upset ONSTAGE. Because he’s an attention whore (“George Bush doesn’t care about black people” – nice line, but all he was doing was attempting to insert himself into the Katrina tragedy). How many people have a loved one die and then go out and find a large audience and grieve as publicly as possible? When she died, he should have canceled his events, gone home, and given the grieving process proper respect by doing it PRIVATELY with family and friends. He’s using his mom’s death to pull sympathy from strangers. Shame on anybody who gives it to him.
lulz;(!) surprised some ppl have time to post stuff with all the time they presumably spend dishing out sympathy when any tom dick or harry pops it.
Fuck him! Why doesn’t he just go away.
#70 speaks for me!
Next Year’s Headlines: Kanye West Transforms Tragedy into Album of Meaning , Substance, Loses Grammy to Tegan & Sara
of course you guys talk shit…of course…no respect for nothing…typical
Oprah killed Kanye’s mom.
Everyone’s just jealous. SImple old player haters. You guys are mad cause he makes more money in a year than we do in our lifetime. Don’t hate the playa, hate the game.
who gives a fuck if he cried onstage, let the man cry. If it equals more money, THEN HEYYYYY DO WHATCHU GOTTA DOO
OH NO!!! boofuckinghoo. Like its a big deal that this fucking losers mom died. People lose their parents everyday and not to somthing so fucking lame as plastic surgery. Thats what that fat slob gets for being so fucking vein in the first place. Fuck his mom and fuck him too.
#74- LOL, only in your KKK-filled dreams.
Firstly, you people who are being assholes about this, I hope you all die. Kanye Rocks.
Secondly, he was shounting “I need you right now?” Wow, that’s so touching.. Except it’s PART OF THE SONG! What idiot wrote that?
When we realize for even one moment that death is the only certainty that will hit us all, I wonder why we even bother to spend one waking moment hurting the ones we should cherish..
