Kayne cancels gig after Kim gun scare
Kayne West abruptly cancels a concert due to a 'family emergency' after it transpires that his wife Kim Kardashian, was reportedly held up at gunpoint in her Paris hotel room.
She was held hostage in her hotel room by "two armed masked gunmen dressed as police officers, she is badly shaken but physically unharmed", her publicist Ina Treciokas told CNN.
She was on Snapchat just an hour before West cut his show short. She posted a video of herself FaceTiming with Blac Chynaduring a baby shower with Rob Kardashian.
West had reportedly been performing 20 minutes at the festival in Queens, New York, when the news broke from his publicist.
The Yeezus hip-hop mogul was the headliner of the two day music and arts festival, which featured Australia's Empire Of The Sun, as well as Chance The Rapper, The 1975, Damian Marley and J. Cole.
His abrupt announcement appears to have closed the festival with the Meadows New York City posting to Twitter: "Due to an emergency, Kanye West had to end his performance early. Please get home safely."
