Kanye West performed a free concert Sunday night in the capital of Armenia, which came to an end after Kanye jumped into Swan Lake ... and dozens of fans followed suit.
He began singing the lyrics of his hit single Good Life before he jumped into the lake fully dressed in a maroon velour jacket, grey T-shirt, faded jeans and combat boots.
Onlookers quickly took to the water to join Kanye and take selfies with the hitmaker as the lake soon became a mosh pit.
After being escorted out of the water, he continued to perform some of his fan favored songs including Stronger, Jesus Walks, Power, Touch the Sky, and All of the Lights.
No one was more surprised then his wife Kim who took to her Instagram to share a snapshot of her husband jumping in the lake.
'What a crazy night! Kanye wakes me up & says he's doing a free concert in Yerevan, Armenia!' she captioned the photo.'I throw on sweats & we head out! Thousands of people were there! Kanye jumped in swan lake to be closer to the crowd on the other side & so many people jumped in too! It was such an exciting crazy night! 'So happy I got to rock out with everyone in Armenia on our last night here!!!! #EpicNight #ArmenianPride.'
Kanye West is going to headline Saturday night at England's prestigious Glastonbury Festival this summer, prompting nearly 60,000 presumed rock-enthusiasts to sign a petitionasking organizers to cancel 'Ye's performance. "Kanye West is an insult to music fans all over the world," wrote petition-starter Neil Lonsdale, apparently speaking for music fans all over the world (or, at the very least, the U.K.). "This egotistical, maniacal, disgrace was a clear oversight," he continued. "There is still time to correct this."
However, the news about West's slot angered him. "I fought the temptation to scream and instead opted to hurl my iPhone across the room," Lonsdale said. "Two years ago we had The Rolling Stones playing the Saturday night, and this year we get Kanye West? It's an outrage!"
The Norfolk resident added that West "totally disrespected Beck" at the Grammys and went on to tell NME that Yeezy isn't a big enough of an act to headline Glasto. (Ed. note:SPIN has given Mr. West "Album of the Year" more times than any other artist.) "Glastonbury needs upbeat major artists," he said. "Glastonbury is an institution. It is expected that it has the biggest names. The biggest performers. Kanye does not represent that."
So Help Me God marks the follow-up to 2013’s Yeezus. It has already spawned the Paul McCartney-assisted single “Only One” and “Wolves” featuring Sia and Vic Mensa.
By now, we know that Kanye West is a very emotional artist. He’s been very outspoken at often the wrong times, and he never truly holds back when he has something to say. That said, this is an extremely candid moment that not many people have seen from West.
You never know how Kanye West's deep emotional reservoir is going to manifest itself.
Today he required a break right in the middle of a BBC Radio 1 interview when he choked up and then quietly started to cry while discussing one of his mentors, late fashion professorLouise Wilson.
"Last time I saw her," West recalled, taking a deep breath, "we had dinner at Hakkasan, which is my favorite restaurant in London. And I think she knew that she was going to pass, and she just wanted to give me some words of advice moving forward, and she was asking me about my daughter, asked me about my wife...and she said, you know, 'So many students, they don't give it their all, and the problem is, soon as they do anything halfway good when they're 2 years old, 3 years old, their parents clap.'"
At which interviewerZane Lowepromptly started clapping. Kanye smiled.
"Exactly," the rapper agreed. "They clap. And she just looked at me and she said, 'Kanye, don't clap.'"
Kanye continued, "I didn't know we were going to lose her...and she told me, she said, you know, 'Thank you for the times where I came to performances and this has like really meant a lot to me, with...'"
He then trailed off, covering his eyes with his right hand. Pretty soon he had both hands covering his eyes as the tears welled up. And he couldn't continue immediately, so much so that Zane patted him on the knee and said, "We'll take a minute." Kanye left the studio briefly.
Where's Dbanj's career going? Now That's a good question. Have you ever asked yourself this question each time you stumble on any of his music on TV, radio Or internet.... And no He's not dead but his career is heading to the grave, Now you get it.
Its no news that the koko master has tried his hands on few biz outside showbiz, all seems to have yielded nothing, let me take you back a little:
Remember the "koko phone", "Koko mansion"???. They all no where to be found.
Can someone please tell this guy that it not about the money, its about the BRAIN. Contacting a business consultant before going into any business will never hurt him.
it’s about the start up and continuity.
No doubt, The name Dbanj is a household name till date but I won't ignore the facts that Dbanj is going down in everything. Last year, a popular news network in Nigeria, reports that the singer was owing his workers. Catch the Scoop Here ==> Popular Singer Dbanj In Huge Debt Mess
In recent times, The 'tongolo' crooner has also invested in agriculture by creating his own Garri called the KOKO GARRI, Why the Rush? Is Dbanj AFRAID or CONFUSED?. Well, few months after that He got on new international venture with beats by Dre WIRELESS GOLDEN HEADPHONES.
I just think He still need a mentor and someone to nurture him on how/what to invest upon.
His dead Music career as I call it still have some lifelines if He can swallow the pride and go back to Don Jazzy, yeah! Don jazzy or any music connoisseur , He still needs more training on that, a good back up singer and someone to put him through.
The only thing that is still giving him the endorsement deals is the name "Dbanj" and that will fade with time as more artistes are already making waves in the industry.
During Dbanj's stay in Mo' hits, He's like a god who barely mingle with other artistes except don jazzy and still hitting the industry hard with every single during his reign. Now we see him around like someone begging for friendship and collabos, After it was reported that He’s been Dumped by Kanye West.
The few collabos he's had has been a total failure except "Tony Montana" (Bad Pass) where He got featured by rapper 'Naeto C'.
As we are aware, Oritse Femi’s Double wahala remix featuring Dbanj didn't get much attention as expected.
So far Don jazzy keep rising from grace to grace changing the name of the Record label to 'Mavin' which is now getting the Buzz in the industry, with new acts like Korede Bellow, Reekado Banks, D'ija, Tiwa and more.
Meanwhile, In 'Mavin Records' Reekado Banks and others can beat their chest on all the awards and attention they are getting from fans and foes because they have the right boss that can easily spot their weak points and make it stronger. How can someone who still need a mentor, train anyone, its impossible.
Dbanj still need someone to mentor and nurture him, that's all I'm saying.
The New Song ‘Feeling The Nigga’ was also a total flop while Akon had the most and best verses in the song, Dbanj was out or lost in his own track, more like He was being put on the Track by Akon, He didn’t own the track like the D’banj I know, and his verses were as weak as his career Now. Listen to the Track==>[ Feeling The N*gga].
I wrote This To Express My Love For Dbanj. I use to be a Fan.
When radio personality Charlamagne Tha God called out the 37-year-old "Only One" rapper for his rant about how the GRAMMYs were "not respecting the artistry" when they awarded Beck Album of the Year and not Beyonce, Kanye totally admitted fault.
"I deserved it man," he said about the fallout. "That was completely hypocritical."
He also said he finally got around to listening to Beck's album Morning Phase, hilariously, while having dinner with Taylor Swift in New York City on Tuesday.
"I went to dinner, sat down with Taylor Swift right, and ironically they were like, playing the Beck album," he smiled. "Maybe they did it on purpose so I could finally hear it, but I was like, 'Man, this is kinda good, I'm not even gonna lie!"
Dare we say, Kanye comes off charming in the clip?!
Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and baby North were all in attendance to support Kendall Jenner as she walked in Alexander Wang’s New York Fashion Week show on Saturday (February 14) – but the real action was off the catwalk.
The Kardashian-West clan was seated next to Nicki Minaj, who simply couldn’t resist sweet lil’ Nori.
Even the resolutely stone-faced Kanye cracked a smile! Watch your back, Taylor Swift – Nori is officially amassing her lady crew.
For a few unsuspecting customers at the adidas Originals Soho, NYC store who sought to purchase the Yeezy Boost, their new pair of sneakers came with another memorable moment. Kanye West surprised some buyers of his new shoe Saturday morning (Feb. 14), spreading the love on Valentine's Day buy hand delivering their new apparel. A few still shots were captured by onlookers who were at the right place at the right time which you can check out below.
The "Only One" rapper took over the Big Apple this week with the release of his aforementioned adidas collection equipped with a a showcase for New York Fashion Week and an outdoor concert to celebrate the night (Feb. 12). The Chi-town native also appeared at Drake's performance at Irving Plaza where he rapped his verse on Chief Keef's "I Don't Like" melody.
Mr. West is still working on his forthcoming album, but no further information on a release date or hints at other collaborators have been announced.
The 33-year-old E! star and the "Flawless" singer were seated front row together at New York Fashion Week today, where the two superstars attended Kanye West's Adidas runway show.
Unfortunately, little Nori, who will be two years old in June, wasn't feeling the front row and was caught on camera crying at the opening of the show.
According to E!, baby North was quickly taken backstage to be sure she didn't interrupt her daddy, and Kim was later photographed supporting her hubby sans their adorable daughter.
According to RadarOnline, the duo are having some marital problems but Jenner has advised Kim to stick through it.
“Kim told her mom that she and Kanye are arguing and Kris said that she better fix it because her career won’t survive another divorce,” an insider told Radar.
“It was kinda of threat. Kim’s career is on top now and she doesn’t want her to screw it up.” But despite Jenner’s best intentions to help her daughter avoid going through that again, the source said the momager is really part of the problem between Kardashian and her man.
“Kanye wanted to take over more of Kim’s career when they got married and he’s started doing that, but Kris won’t allow him to have 100 percent control,” the insider said. “She wants control and so does he, because he’s thinks of himself as a visionary and feels like he sees things differently than Kris.”
