Video: Kanye Performs On Flight To NYC

On November 5th, Kanye West was on a Delta flight to New York City and decided to give his fellow passengers an impromptu concert. According to Hollywood Life, Kanye was sitting in First Class and after about 30 minutes in the air he came on the loud speaker and rapped The Good Life and Gold Digger. One passenger on board told them, “He was like, ‘Yo, this your n***a, Kanye.' Then he couldn’t decide if he wanted to do The Good Life or Gold Digger, so he was like, ‘I’ll just do a little bit of both.’ It was awesome… but I still have no idea how he got into the cockpit.” (Note: it's unclear if he actually was in the cockpit or not.)

As for Kanye's airplane etiquette, the passenger said that he "filed out in line with everyone else, and I thought that was pretty cool. Especially for Kanye.” Steven Slater would be proud.

    Take a seat, Kanye. This isn't the Copacabana!

  • Times must be really tough if he's flying with the rest of the public. Wow.

    Kayne West doesn't care about tired people.

    In a previous job, i was once on a private chartered flight with Bruce Springsteen and his band/crew/etc. He got on the PA system and started goofing around for a few minutes, but not singing. Apparently he saves performances for airport terminals

  • Brainwash

    All I got on my flight was Zombie Don Knots, and he tried to eat my peanuts.

    I can't think of anything more unpleasant that could occur on a plane journey. And that includes crashing.

  • daisycutter

    I heard Taylor Swift started singing on the PA and Kanye stormed the PA in protest. Will that guy ever learn?

  • CR

    This story needs to be retold in the style of Aziz Ansari.

  • camera_club

    dammit Kanye I was trying to sleep

  • sj

    Passenger had a nice dumb comment. Clearly you don't need to be in the cockpit to get on the PA. Just any of the flight attendant stations.
