Kanye West and Lady Gaga’s Fame Kills Tour is dead.
As was speculated, Kanye’s antics on the VMA’s all but assured a ton of unsold tickets to his shows. And that’s exactly what happened. The tour’s promoter, Live Nation, announced the cancellation today. Tickets already sold will be refunded at the point of purchase.
In a story on its blog, The Times noted that West and Gaga were set to play the Staples Center on Nov. 16 in Los Angeles.
Then concert dates started disappearing from Ticketmaster.com prompting rumors that the tour was canceled. The Times speculated that “It’s unlikely an arena tour of this magnitude would be called off; it’s more likely that West and Lady Gaga are waiting for the controversy to die down.”
Kanye is not the first to cut up and act a fool in the VMA’s 25-year history, but the fallout from his publicity stunt was unprecedented. Many of Kanye’s peers in the industry came down on him hard, and even his mentor Jay Z said he was wrong.
But when the president of the United States calls you a jackass, that’s about as bad as it gets. No amount of damage control can undo the harm that Kanye has done to himself.
What?? Im really at a loss because he said how he felt their was pressure to cancel his tour? Its easy to seperate music from the musician. People to me are so stupid, american people in particular who also hop on the bandwagon and have no sense of individual thought logic or reasoning skills.
Actually, I don’t think it was the VMA stunt that “killed” this tour. I think it has to do with that weak a$$ Auto Tune CD he put out and look at who he is trying to tour with Lady Gaga. Yeah she may but I think they have two different fan base. Kanye is trying too hard to be different and his fans (people who would pay to see him in concert) is not having it. I remember for his previous concert I could not buy my ticket fast enough and was PISSED the concert sold out the minute it went on sale. I was determined to see him so I went to a another city, 1 hour away. When this concert went on sale, I didn’t even blink. Our radio personalities were even clowning about who he was touring with. Better luck next time!
Memo to Kanye: Leave little white country singers alone.
Jesus walk with Kanye.
Sidebar: What the hell is a Lady GaGa? She looks like Christina Aguilera meets Moulin Rouge.
note to kayne YT always protect their own classic example of why WE need to stick together for good he can now use the time to get his head right Also, WTF i for one hope the city of chicago does not get the Olympics what example does that set Rio and other cities with “real” poverty need the economy boost Oprah, and Michelle need to go sit down somewhere with that it’s other ish to be worrying about
Sidebar: I missed the RHOA last night so I went to the show’s website to watch what I believed to be the latest episode. After watching the video, I have on question for the ladies: Is it sexy to feminize your man or husband?
In my book, there isn’t anything funny or cute about your husband or manfriend/male jumpoff wearing female shoes or any other female articles of clothing. At the end of the episode, it showed Mr. NeNe wearing a pair of high heel shoes and the ish just pissed me off. What is that all about? It ain’t Halloween yet. SMDH
I like Kanye and all but really who cares…?
On another note: zSandra, I saw the Rakim banner on your site and I would LOVE to see Rakim bless the mic in the ATL, DO you think you can hook that up..? I will drive from Dallas to Atl hahahhahha
Kanye, you’re an idiot, you get whatever you deserve because you abused your celebrity and yourself, next time be a quiet drunk like the rest of us.
@lexdiamonz… Chicago & all of the US cities need as many economic boosts as they can get… the recession apparently hasn’t quite hit the bottom point contrary to analysts earlier prediction. I hope Chicago get the Olympics. Besides the criteria for the Olympics is not what city needs the most economic boost… with Rio you might have more players robbed or killed on the way to their venues, actually that sounds like Chicago too.
KANYE u should have just stayed in your dayum seat!
who ever made that comment about the auto-tune cd, i agree. i have all his other cds, and ive only listened to his auto tune cd like 2 times. but i can pop his first cd in and jam to it all day.
@lj
College Drop-out is the Ghetto Bible I love that album, n Late Regristration. I want him to go back to those days instead of those auto-tune ish
@Charles
I WITH YOU TODAY bro….BTW…that gravatar is killing me softly yo..
I guess yall missed the memo that Kanye has BEEN on tour since his last cd dropped. His last cd has nothing to do with the concert getting cancelled. I liked the cd didnt love it but I liked it he had a few nice tracks. Kanye did that cd as soon as his mother died and he broke up with Alexis so it is a lil dark and not the usual Kanye.
I wanted to go to the concert but I did NOT want to sit through Lady GaGa so I am glad it was cancelled
I hope when he does go on tour cause his career is FAR from ova that he picks somebody better.
Team Kanye
@mizzdallas
Yeah CD was the great…but 808 & heartbreaks is so slept on yo
why all the hate for GAGA…IS IT BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY has though behind her performances…she actually adds in the art…if you cant see the thought, and art, and visuals in a gaga performance you have DEF been watching hip/hop & r&b shows way to long
I thought the tour was a good idea… and it WAS selling ah well…
whats this about fried chicken kayne???
@fly Why does it have to be hate? I dont want to see blood stained performances lol It aint the blood of JESUS so I aint with it and she is half naked on stage and you crucify everybody else I know you aint giving her a pass cause she YT
@sponge
I read that chicken story as well
50 cent called this tour the “gay tour” lol.
He was on New York radio yesterday when he called the now dead show, the “gay tour.”
He added: “Kanye’s cool with the gay folk. I have nothing against them, but he’s cool with them. He goes and drops his video off to them…Ellen. Ellen DeGeneres. He went there to premiere his video. He’s conscious of the gay community and wants them to buy his CD.”
Granted, Lady Gaga has said she’s gay, her music is gay, her fans are gay so Kanye better get gay or get the stepping, but 50 was obviously taking a jab at Kanye, whom he’s referred to as a “faggot.”
I was actually gonna buy tickets to see Gaga n Kanye!
Hey! daisy, sponge n fly and everybodyelse
yeah charles gravi have the fam cracking up!
@lj
I listen to the interview on missinfo blog yesterday and 50 had me lmao!
lol. 50 know he loves controversy, smh
I heard that Fiddy interview he is always funny and yes he loves drama bless his heart
@Mizz I was going to go but I was NOT gonna be happy sitting through GaGa lol She irks me lol I do sing some of her songs but still dont have to see her
Hey fam,
Interesting, welp I didn’t really think it was a great mesh, either, I like Kanye Gaga not so much. And with the way some people talk about the Illuminati and the like I am surprised that Lady Gaga is getting a pass
I was reading an interesting article about how her performance on the VMA was laden with occult images. I didn’t really get the article because I don’t put to much stock in that stuff. I say have your playground on earth, I’m hoping to play later, God willing.
Top of the Morning to you all!!
I am w/ you Laydee not a fan of Ye’s last effort, but I OWN all the others. I met him several times, freshman year in college before college dropout DROPPED. I believed IN him and now he’s CHANGED so much. Either way — I wouldn’t have wanted to see Gaga anyway. I like 3 of her songs, but after the VMA performance and what have you I PASS!
@mizzdallas – you big on Rakim?
Hey! Iyonah
yes! I like Rakim and I wouldnt mind going to see him
hey iyonah! where u been at girl? u must be busy cuz u sure aint been tweeting! lol
@Daisy
Ur right …i should not have used that word..& I havent purchased anything by Gaga..i dont support gaga..gaga has made no money off me…but you have to admit she is far more of an “artist” than anyone thats out female wise……first time i saw her perform was on MTV and it was brilliant…compared to all the other females that performed that night..there was some “thought” of the “art” there. And while she did have on very skimpy attire..i didnt see her doing any vulgar dance moves…BUT TO Sum IT UP YES MAAM SHE IS a child of the devil at this point..
@kcicero
all of their videos are laced with occult images…no just gaga….but NONE of them as much as JAYZ and BEYONCE..and they get a pass all day “its just entertainment”..is that because their black….blacks did sell their own peeps into slavery…so are we giving these 2 a pass…..but I’m glad to see some of you are researching on your own..if you really wanna get shook try googling “who is sasha fierce” there is a blog out there with in depth view of the poor child…and its a church not a hate site.
my take on Kayne :
it must suck to have EVERYTHING you could ever want in the whole world
and to have your mom die in your 20’s and theres nothing you can do to bring her back
NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN Kayne is going hard at Jesus…all of a sudden he dont believe in Jesus…i find that wierd being that he did Jesus walks…so he believed in Jesus before his mom died and when he first came out but not ANYMORE….VERY VERY INTERESTING….
@mizzdallas I would want to see him live alos, even though I only know like 10 songs.
@Laydee Missinfo dot tv has the interview w/ Ang. 50 is a fool. Talking bout he confident and secure, he is really hilarious.
#dontjudge me but 50 could get it!! He terrible though …
On my twitter, seems like someone had my password & made some changes. I been trying to refollow everyone! I finally decided to not have the same password for everything since Mr. Yeah decided to INVADE my PRIVACY … I am on today though!!
@fly I think Ye is/was mad at God/Jesus about his mothers death so therefore he has made some crazy comments he is a lost soul (I have been there as well) I pray he finds his way back sooner than later Jesus will welcome him with OPEN ARMS! I still believe Ye has HAWT songs left in him. He said he wasnt going to use autotunes on his next project he knows he doesnt need it.
What is w/ so many ppl accusing Jay and Bey of worshiping the devil and what have you??? I guess I missed that memo
@fly
I was just a little confuzzled (i know it’s not a word) at how Gaga was getting a pass and everyone else was evil devil worshipers. I didn’t google it, some girl I know posted the Gaga article on Fb and I clicked on it out of curiosity the other day.
I don’t give passes to anyone, I don’t put much stock into that stuff as I said before. Nothing really shakes me too much about the evil or misguided indoctrination that some have in their hearts. I could care less if people want to throw up signs my gripe is with people who violate the code of humanity by, killing, starving, raping and stealing.
And I haven’t been a Jay fan for years, never been a fan of Be-yaki#27 though i did love some DC…
U make ur own bed…now lay in it

———————————————————
okay i can get down with maybe bey being labeled as such. i do not believe it….but i HAVE heard folks try to tie it all into her creole heritage with voodoo and conjuring and whatnot.
but jay-z? what he ever do?
@Daisy
i heard it alot before and i used to dismiss it to…like people say its just entertainment..i didnt want to believe it either…my fav beyonce song of all time is GET ME BODIED….so anyway I would see the stuff and be like oh these people crazy..but 2 semesters ago i had to take “ART In western Culture”.. and it gave me a rude awakeing…there was so much on the course as far as music & symbolism & subliminal messages.. and why this & that…and i just begin to see it in another light…or i should say i began to understand what i was seeing…. so now like when jayz had that shirt on “do what thou wilt” i knew i saw that somewhere before…the quote came from a DEVIL worshipper…aliester crowley…but again maybe he doing it just because..but who wants to be associated with that…IDK…
Also I do go to Liberty which is an evangelical christian university and my major is double pysch & religion so i look for it because i study it and it makes for great DEBATES AND RESEARCH PAPERS
That destinychildrumors blog had a big long post about jayz, barack obama and beyonce being part of the Illuminati, but i dont dig too much into stuff like that. its not my place
@kwall
I cant post the site on sandra blog, and even if i told you ..your mind wont get it until ur ready…like i said i thought it was “just talk” to but after i took that class my outlook changed. I’m not getting at Jay & Bey (no hate) im just saying they stuff they do is highly suspect
I like somethings “OF THE WORLD” dont get me wrong you guys…im NOT PERFECT..but if i hear it..i research…i look for additional resources that back up OR REFUTE my claim..i debate it…and I have done this in school with this issue and people have walked away stunned…and some still say “its just entertainment” BTW I DIDNT WNAT TO BELIEVE IT EITHER …but only if you want it email me: natewifey1@yahoo.com
then u watch & research on your own
“Ah when ya be UUUUUuuup, and it all fALLSSss DOOoooWN
I’m telling you UUUUuuuuuUUUUUuuuuPP, and it ALL falls DOOOoooWWwwwwn!”
Now its sad when your own songs talk about ya!
I’m too mad.. I wanted to go that concert.
Love Gaga.
Yall trippin.. 808’s and Heartbreak is the BIZZNESS.
Oh it doesn’t matter to me one way or the other. Kanye wouldn’t have gotten my money anyway.
:rotfl:
