What Kanye West was hoping to be a monumental concert at 2 AM in NYC was later on shutdown, causing fans to get angry and furthermore rowdy. One post even shows one fans injuries after trying to see Yeezy.
In the photo below you can see one fan's injured foot that she attributed to wanting to see Kanye West perform. The scene outside of Webster Hall after the 2 AM concert was cancelled was complete and utter chaos.
"Following the cancelation of Sunday's entire Governors Ball lineup (headlined by Kanye West), it's understandable people would be excited to see Kanye perform a makeup show in New York City -- even one scheduled for 2 a.m.," reported Billboard.
"But the desperate scene that took place outside of Manhattan's Webster Hall during the early hours of Monday, June 6 was a saddening reflection of a mostly young fan base thirsty to touch the hem of Yeezus' garment at any cost."

Kanye and Travis Scott pull up to Webster Hall on top of a Mercedes-Benz which could be seen in the video below.
They were shaking the hands of fans as they tried to make their way through the crowd. Then, Kanye, still atop the Benz continues to ride through the city being followed by a huge group of fans.
Kanye did attempt to get a message to the mayor to have a couple of blocks shutdown for his fans to party but that didn't happen.
Just recently, Kanye premiered his first single off Cruel Winter titled, "Champions (Round and Round)."
