A week after his surprise performance at Chance The Rapper's Magnificent Coloring Day in Chicago, Kanye West was scheduled to headline tonight's The Meadows Music and Arts Festival in New York City. Following direct support from Chance, Kanye took to the stage behind schedule. It wasn't until midway through his performance of "Heartless" that Kanye abruptly stopped the music and apologized for having to end the show due to a family emergency.
The video captures the moment and crowd reactions below, but the details surrounding the emergency are still unknown. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ye and the fam. We'll keep you updated with details as they come in.
UPDATE: CNN is reporting that Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris by three men dressed as police officers. "A spokeswoman for Kardashian West said the celebrity was "badly shaken but physically unharmed" following the incident, which took place early Monday morning local time."
