侃爷，美国著名说唱歌手，7月12日上海演唱会迟到逾40分钟开场，引发现场歌迷哗然。

Kanye West, the prominent American rapper, started his July 12 Shanghai concert over 40 minutes late, causing strong reactions from the audience at the scene.

据媒体报道，7月12日，被中国歌迷称为“侃爷”的美国著名说唱歌手Kanye West，原本计划于晚上7点半在上海体育场开启演唱会。岂料，时间一分一秒过去，侃爷却迟迟没有出现在舞台上。直到40多分钟后，演唱会才在没有灯光、舞美的环境下，直接开始。

记者联系到一位在演唱会现场的观众，他表示，侃爷迟到了40多分钟，达到现场后直接开唱，也没有解释迟到的原因。而演唱会现场还下着雨，坐着淋雨的观众们在等待的时候，还不断大喊“退票”。
