Rapper Kanye West halted his show in Tampa Bay, Florida midway after things did not go according to his plan.

The 36-year-old rapper was just a few seconds into the third song when he demanded that the music be stopped and he stormed off stage, reported Ace Showbiz.

The lighting scheme was apparently wrong and West was clearly unhappy with it. He wanted all the lights to be shut off and even hurled abuses to the technical crew.

Those mistakes were not the only things that angered West that night. He was not pleased when his face appeared in colour rather than black and white on the giant LED screen on the stage.
 

West, however, returned five minutes later to sing 'Send It Up', a track off his Yeezus album.

West's Yeezus tour kicked off in October. Early last month, the star announced that he had rescheduled several tour dates after a truck carrying concert equipment crashed on its way to Vancouver. The tour is wrapping up later this month in Toronto, Canada.
