Kanye West’s Shanghai stadium concert has reportedly devolved into chaos, sparking outrage among attendees who are taking to social media to air their grievances.
Attendees are blasting the concert’s organization and performance quality, with many accusing organizer Shanghai Xingbo Culture and West of “lacking sincerity.” Some have even gone as far as to label the event a “third-rate production.”
The concert was slated to begin at 7:30 PM local time but didn’t kick off until approximately 8:20 PM – fueling the initial wave of discontent.
Adding insult to injury, West reportedly exited the stage early due to “personal reasons” amidst a downpour, leaving the audience to endure an extended, 20-minute instrumental interlude. The entire performance clocked in at roughly one hour.
Adding fuel to the fire, disgruntled concertgoers took to X (formerly Twitter) and other forums to highlight the dramatic discrepancy between the hefty ticket prices – ranging from $2680 RMB to $1880 RMB (roughly $370-$260 USD) – and the concert’s perceived lack of value. The disconnect between price and value has prompted many to voice their disappointment and question the returns on their investment.
The hashtag “Kanye Loses Credibility After Shanghai Stunt” quickly rocketed to the top of trending lists, igniting a flurry of online commentary.
One user questioned West’s very presence in China, commenting, “It’s questionable that he’s even allowed to hold a concert here. I shudder to think what kind of fans he attracts.”
Another referenced Taylor Swift’s meticulous approach to her own shows, saying, “Taylor Swift personally oversees every aspect of her concerts. This [West’s] sloppy performance… It’s clear that he didn’t even bother to review things beforehand. How can you claim this has nothing to do with Kanye? You want to make money but don’t put in the effort – typical.”
Adding to the chorus of disapproval, a separate user stated, “While I do enjoy his music, I have to admit this concert was truly awful.”
