Kanye West fans were not happy yesterday when his performance was delayed. Fans chanted "Kanye sucks" and scrawled "Fuck Kanye" on the port-a-potties when his gig suffered a two-hour delay.

Apparently, the delay was due to issues setting up his set after taking down Pearl Jam's stage. Moreover, Pearl Jam's performance ran an hour over their alloted time. However, even after the issues were addressed and Kanye's stage was set, the rapper did not appear for another hour — sending fans into a tailspin. Fans booed and threw bottles and glow sticks at the stage, one of which damaged West's main centerpiece screen.

Allegedly, there was also an altercation backstage between Pearl Jam's crew and West's.
