Bonnaroo attendees didn’t exactly welcome Kanye West with open arms over the weekend. Several festival goers were so angry at West for his delayed performance that some spray painted the words “Fuck Kanye” on several port-a-potties at the site. The large crowd also chanted “Kanye sucks” and threw glow sticks at the stage during the two-hour delay. West, who was due to perform at 2:45am didn’t emerge on stage until a little after 4:25am. The delay was reportedly due to trouble setting up the rapper’s stage as well as Pearl Jam, who went on before him, going over their scheduled set by one hour. However even after West’s stage was completed at around 3:30am he still didn’t appear until 4:25am.
