Kanye West fans chant for refund at chaotic comeback show
The controversial rapper took to the stage at Shanghai Stadium on Saturday night and was reported by The Global Times to not only have been significantly delayed getting onstage, but his set was plagued by technical difficulties, with some fans even taking to social media to complain about the lack of production.
A clip has gone viral online of the moment the 70,000-strong crowd erupted and demanded a refund.
What's more, one fan accused him of lip syncing.
'Mostly lip syncing,' they wrote on X. 'His microphone must have been up less than 20 per cent of the time.'
The same user also claimed Kanye left the stage for 20 minutes during the encore as his music played over the sound system.
'For the encore, he disappeared for over 20 minutes at one point as tracks like Wolves just played out with him nowhere in sight,' the disappointed gig-goer wrote. 'I could have just played your music at home man. Came to see u perform???? (sic)'
The concert marked West's first since September 2024.
West has only played a handful of gigs in recent years and has lost brand deals and been dropped by huge names since making a series of anti-Semitic outbursts.

The $599 fashion diplomacy from Jodie Haydon with Albanese in China
In a move straight from the royal family's fashion handbook, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's fiancee Jodie Haydon demonstrated she is ready for the dressing demands of being Australia's unofficial first lady. Accompanying Albanese on the Great Wall of China, wrapping up a six-day trip to the Asian superpower, Haydon wore a $599 short-sleeve midi-dress with a floral print and mandarin collar by Australian label Leo Lin. Like Princess Catherine greeting French president Emmanuel Macron in the UK last week, wearing the Parisienne label Dior, Haydon practised fashion diplomacy by paying tribute to her host country and wearing a label with Chinese connections. The brand's founder, Leo Lin, moved to Melbourne from China for his education when he was aged 16, staying on to explore fashion design and assemble his studio in Sydney. 'As an Australian-Chinese brand, we are thrilled to see Jodie Haydon wearing Leo Lin in Leo's home country,' said Laura Good, head of brand at Leo Lin. 'Ms Haydon has been a strong supporter of the Leo Lin label for some time and we loved welcoming her in to our Sydney showroom ahead of the trip.' Loading Leo Lin is stocked in Hong Kong but has been focusing on US expansion for three years, taking over the store windows of Bloomingdales department store in New York in May. 'I truly would love to see Leo Lin in all the best retailers in the world,' Lin said at the unveiling. 'Success in the US is fundamental to Leo Lin's global success, with some of the best international retailers based in this market.' Haydon's breezy outfit was a contemporary update of a belted floral shirt dress worn by Tamie Fraser with then prime minister Malcolm Fraser on the Great Wall in 1976. Haydon provided a modern twist, wearing white sneakers for the walk.
