Poor Kanye West.
Just a week after losing his beloved mother, the controversial rapper returned to the stage for a show in Paris, France, where he got emotional on stage.
Nearing the end of the more than 60-minute performance, with the riff of “Hey Mama” beginning, West attempted to introduce the tribute to a sold-out crowd at Le Zénith in Paris, saying “this song is for my mother….” and could get no further.
“He just cracked,” one attendee tells PEOPLE, “He was at the end of his concert and had just started to dedicate the song and then he just lost it completely.”
Lots of love to you, Kanye!
The video of the breakdown is below.
Heart breaking. What a strong mother who raised a man by herself, and achieved a remarkable career through the hard times. Deepest sympathies to Kanye.
