There were a lot of folks who didn't want Kanye West to play the closing ceremonies of the Pam Am Games last night.
For one, the games were taking place in Toronto and West isn't Canadian. Plus, there's the fact that a good chunk of the world thinks he's an asshole.
But play the closing ceremonies he did. That is until there were technical difficulties during 'The Good Life' and he tossed his mic in the air and left the stage.

Apparently nobody in the stadium could hear West, but the sound was still reaching the TV audience.
So Ye's behavior looked a lot different whether you were watching it live or on TV.
