“Kanye West: The Saint Pablo Tour” has been canceled at The Los Angeles Forum Sunday night, giving ticket holders less thatn three hours notice, according to Ticketmaster.
The cancellation comes only one day after the rapper created a stir during a concert Saturday night in Sacramento. Fans attending got an earful at that event but, unfortunately, it was more rant than rhythm.
West was more than an hour late for his show, sang a couple of songs, then went on a profanity-laced tirade about Beyonce, Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Drake and Hillary Clinton, before dropping the mic and walking off stage.
After the abrupt end to Saturday night’s concert, fed-up music fans took to Twitter and got #KanyeIsOverParty trending. West resurfaced Sunday on Instagram to share dozens of out-of-focus, bizarrely cropped photos of models with black bars over their eyes that appeared to be ripped from old magazines.
No explanation was given for his odd choice of art, but his fans certainly spoke up.

Forbes' 10 Highest-Paid Hip-Hop Artists of 2016: See Who Beat Out Kanye West (Photos)
Kanye West might dominate the headlines lately, but in terms of money-making, it hasn't been a particularly robust year for the "Life of Pablo" rapper.
Forbes released its list of highest-paid hip-hop acts of 2016 on Wednesday, and West didn't manage to crack the Top 10, taking in a relatively paltry $17.5 million -- his lowest showing since 2011. Which rappers beat out West in the quest for hip-hop riches? Read on to find out...
10. Thanks to a label roster that continues to include Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj, Cash Money Records kingpin Birdman padded his nest with $18 million.
9. Kendrick Lamar released "Untitled Unmastered" earlier this year and he definitely wasn't unrewarded, taking in $18.5 million.
8. Pharrell Williams' production work and TV gig on NBC's "The Voice" helped him amass $19.5 million.
7. Pitbull hit a personal best on the list this year with $20 million due to performances and numerous endorsements ranging from Playboy to Norwegian Cruise Lines.
6. Lone female entry Nicki Minaj managed her share of money-making with $20.5 million, thanks to dates on The Pinkprint Tour and deals with MAC and K-Mart, among others.
4. Drake's latest album "Views" helped him pull in $38.5 million -- which in his homeland of Canada translates into an even more impressive $49.6 million.
3. Dr. Dre hauled in a healthy $41 million, thanks in part to Apple's buyout of Beats, a new album and the successful N.W.A biopic "Straight Outta Compton" which he executive-produced.
2. Despite not releasing an album over the last 12 months, Jay Z nabbed $53.5 million, lining his pockets with cash from Roc Nation, Armand de Brignac champagne and D'Usse cognac.
1. List-topper Diddy hauled in $62 million, mostly from non-musical endeavors including his deal with Ciroc vodka.
