To make reparations for not being able to headline a rained-out Governors Ball, Kanye West announced a "secret" makeup show at New York City's Webster Hall just after 1 a.m. Monday. How could he have *not* known that thousands of fans would go "f*ck being a zombie at work in a few hours" and flood the streets outside, nearly inciting a riot?

Ever thoughtful, Kanye attempted to persuade Mayor Bill de Blasio to shut down the blocks surrounding the venue so fans could party outside.
But noise ordinances and the right to protest peacefully only if you've got a permit got in the way, and the gig was eventually canceled.
There is no late show at Webster Hall tonight. Please get home safely.June 6, 2016
Still, in the end, Kanye came out on top, riding in a car with Travis Scott in the Yeezy version of a Roman triumph.
"All right, guys, we're in bed," Kim Kardashian said in a Snapchat video after the pair circled Manhattan looking for an alternate performance space. "We tried... he tried so hard, but it was just bigger, the cops just really wouldn't allow it." Maybe it was all for the best, though?
Wonder how many people are gonna get fired tomorrow because they followed Yeezus to the ends of the earthJune 6, 2016
