Remember that Kim Kardashian nude photo that was meant to break the Internet?
It’s pretty much impossible to forget, isn’t it?
Well… Kim’s husband’s nearly broke New York City on Sunday night, without even trying.
After performing a short set at the Hot 97 Summer Jam earlier in the evening, Kanye announced yesterday that he would take the stage at a surprise show at Webster Hall.
The gig was scheduled for 2 a.m. and meant to make up for the Governor’s Ball, which was canceled due to inclement weather.
However, The Big Apple’s East Village descended into a near-riot as a result, with fans flooding the streets and sidewalks in a desperate attempt to get into the venue.
Via Twitter, here is a look at the scene late Sunday night:
Within an hour, the show was sold out, but that didn’t stop an endless array of human being from trying to get in.
Amidst reports on social media of injuries and dangerous conditions, West jumped on Kardashian’s snapchat and seemed to ask Mayor Bill de Blasio to legally shut the streets so the fans who didn’t have access to the concert could safely party outside.
Yup, he really did that.
In the end, however, this request was denied and the show had to be called off.
“There is no late show at Webster Hall tonight. Please get home safely,” the venue Tweeted around 2 a.m., as someone on a loudspeaker delivered the same message in person.
Those who remained did get a glimpse of Kanye, however.
He drove through the street very early this morning with his head poking out of the sunroof car. You know, like the Pope.
Perhaps Kim was right in forbidding Kanye from going on tour. Someone might get killed one of these days trying to see him.
