Kanye is booed at his own gig

HE may be the coolest rapper on the block, but that didn't stop KANYE WEST
getting booed at his own gig.

The American hip-hopper took to the stage for his Bonnaroo Music & Arts
Festival amid jeers fom tired fans after leaving them waiting for almost two
hours.

The Gold Digger star switched his 8.15pm start time on Saturday to 2.45am on
Sunday, becoming the first major act to start a mainstream festival show so
late.

But his fans grew impatient after waiting until 4.30am local time in Tennessee
before their hero showed up.

The crowd had been forced to sit through a midnight torrential downpour to see
Kanye's early morning set.

They had booed for almost an hour before his arrival and they weren't about to
stop when he appeared.

One fan said: "He had to work really hard to win everyone over."
