Kanye West canceled his own concert mid-show last night, citing a hoarse voice and promising fans a refund.

“Stop. Stop. I ain’t got no fucking voice, I can’t do the show,” he said into the mic. “Turn the lights on. I’ll get y’all a refund. I have no f–king voice, I can’t do the f–king show. Move the stage.”

The performance was his sixth at Inglewood, Calif.’s L.A. Forum — the stoppage was about 45 minutes into his night, and a little more than midway through his extended Saint Pablo Tour.

“I’m sorry, we’ll refund the money on everyone,” West told the crowd towards the tail-end of performing “Only One.” “We gonna catch up on another time, I can’t let y’all have a show where I can’t [sing].”

“I’m very sorry, I love you,” he added. “I promise to do better next time.”

The crowd didn’t love that. Watch fans’ cellphone videos of the rapper bailing below.

Reps for West and Live Nation did not immediately respond to TheWrap‘s request for comment on the stoppage and refund procedure.

The former super-producer now has a few weeks off — his next stop on the Saint Pablo Tour is scheduled for November 17 in San Jose, Calif.
