Kanye West performed during the closing ceremony of the Pan American Games in Toronto. Following the set, a few news stories were published claiming that he "stormed off" and "abruptly cut his performance short" due to his frustration with technical difficulties. Pan Am have released a statement to clarify that West didn't cut his performance short or, in their opinion, behave unprofessionally.
Here's the statement from Pan Am representative Neala Barton:
"As this was a live broadcast, Kanye West was always scheduled to perform for 13 minutes. He fulfilled this commitment in great style and while there was technical difficulty at the end due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, he rolled with it the way great artists do. To imply that he abruptly cut short his performance or that he was anything less than professional is incorrect. We could not have been more thrilled."
So yes, West threw the mic in the air and walked off stage following some technical difficulties, but apparently, that performance was already over. Watch footage of the incident below via Jezebel.
