Kanye West closes out Pan Am Games — until faulty microphone doesn’t let him finish
Welcomed with a hearty roar, Kanye West ran through a career-spanning collection of his hits to close out a Pan Am Games headlined by a harder, better, faster, stronger Canada — until a faulty microphone didn’t let the rapper finish.
Nearly 40,000 spectators packed Toronto’s Rogers Centre to raise a toast to Canada’s athletes — and their record-setting 217-medal haul — at the Pan Am Games closing ceremony, and West’s surprisingly long performance would have put an exclamation point on the evening, already marked by a flamboyant fireworks display lighting up the CN Tower like a rainbow-leafed palm tree, if not for the sound gaffe.
West tried in vain for a period of time to overcome the error, before tossing his mic high into the air and letting it smash while he stalked offstage.
