Kanye West Axes Remaining U.S. Tour Dates, Posts 99 Photos Of Clothing To Instagram

    Kanye West canceled his second show at The Forum in L.A. in 17 days on Sunday (November 20), although that could just be the beginning.

    L.A. Times music reporter Gerrick Kennedy posted that the rest of the U.S. shows on the Saint Pablo tour (which total more than 20) have been axed.

    The reason behind the cancellation? Exhaustion, according to TMZ. The site’s Kanye source said, “He’s just exhausted. He’s been working around the clock on fashion design, both his own line and the Adidas line.” The source added that Kanye expects to reschedule the tour in the new year.

    This weekend’s show in L.A. had been organized to compensate for one he had cut short on November 3 due to problems with his voice. The latest cancellation follows Yeezy’s Sacramento concert that featured a rant that covered all manner of topics from President-elect Donald Trump to Jay Z to Beyoncé, before he left the stage abruptly after only 30 minutes. Days before that he caused a stir with another rant proclaiming his support for Trump.

    Fans with tickets for the L.A. show or the Sacramento show have since been offered refunds.

    And just to make things even stranger, it seems like Kanye has gotten even more sidetracked from his music — posting fashion photos on Instagram.

    In total, Kanye (or someone with his password) posted 99 blurry, uncaptioned photos to his once-dormant Instagram account, featuring various items of clothing being worn by various models. As it stands, those photos are currently the only ones on his account (bar one still from the movie Total Recall that he posted in September when he first joined the photo and video-sharing platform).

    “Famous” director Eli Russell Linnetz referred to the photos as an “installation” with his own IG post, so it’s possible he’s the one behind the gallery. HipHopDX reached out to Linnetz’s people for clarification but didn’t immediately hear back.

    1. Listen Kanye!!! People ain’t gonna buy your clothes if you don’t fulfill your concert obligations they bought into your brand brother you chose the life of a rap star you chose to be put in a position to speak on a podium don’t let fear control you get back out there and show them what your made of

    2. Kanye sucks, 2 good albums that’s it…pablo was straight trash and he didn’t even produce on that album, got his goons doing the work now…game over kanye

    3. Kanye is a rockstar, yall weirdos dont understand how the brain of a genius works…… 808s, Yeezus and Pablo are my fav Kanye releases, I agree on that his other album were trash, but these 3 classics redefined the notion of music. swag

      1. Oh so you’re one of those ? Hilary say Trump is evil that means she isn’t? Oh consequence and rhymefest and others penned those albums for him research …

    4. Kan-ghey need to chill with this. I swear, deep down, I feel like homeboy wanna be white sometimes. Nothing but white models in these pics, married to a white woman who in my mind appropriates black culture (fake booty, lips, boobs, etc…). Don’t get me wrong, white women have curves but it’s like he took the aesthetics of an ebony woman and put them on a white girl. DAMN KANYE! Not to mention his favor towards Donald Trump and how he seems to be moving further and further away from the culture that embraced him to begin with. #ImissTheOldKanye

    5. I bet these pics are the way he “designs”. He looks for old pics from the 70’s 80’s and copies the shit he likes. So basically how he does music he let others do the Work and put his name on it

      1. I don’t think you understand Kanye. He has produced much of his own work and doesn’t just sit back and watch others do it for him.

    6. Opinion: People still gone buy the clothes. Warning: Wisdom: This a 50 50 country. Whatever stance you take, half the people gone agree. Even more wisdom: careful now: Half don’t talk on mainstream sites. Mic drops. Silence. Vanity ensues. Exit stage right.

    7. Go ahead, hate, criticize and ridicule a mans rights of free speech, opinions and his thoughts on something when it doesn’t directly effect you.. “Lets stop the bullshittin’ Til’ we all without sin, let’s quit the pulpit-ing, c’ mon! ” Jay Z
