Kanye West Throws Fit Over Chicken at Benefit Concert

Though apologetic, Kanye West doesn't seem to have learned from his MTV Video Music Awards blunder.

This past weekend the Chicago native performed at the 'Common & Friends Benefit Concert,' a charity event that featured performances by Nas, De La Soul, Queen Latifah and more, where he apparently threw a fit backstage when he saw someone eating chicken.

"Why wasn't I offered chicken?" Kanye complained, according to several sources. "You want me to perform for free, [and] everyone is eating ... Why am I not eating?"

When a waitress tried to appease the talented yet tantrum-prone rapper, explaining that he hadn't asked for any food, Kanye replied angrily, "Well, I'm asking now!"

When he received the chicken he requested, he allegedly took one bite, then threw the rest out, as his girl Amber Rose stood silently at his side, and the rest of the artists backstage looked on "in awe." We really want to stop giving the guy a hard time because it seems a bit unfair at this point, but if this report is accurate, Kanye really needs to calm down.

Of course every fan thinks "their" performer is the best. Thing is, the audience were not (I think), in the first grade. In fact, a first grader in my old school would have known how to behave better. Civilized adults accept that they can't win all the time and do not attack people who win. Such behavior does not belong in a civilized country; in fact, it's illegal.

Regarding the person who thinks because her choice was obviously the best, a "real man" was right to go up and verbally assualt the judges choice.
Are you civilized? Are you adult? Do you have any self-discipline? Any manners? Any class?

Unless you live in, say, Liberia.

This fool needs SERIOUS counseling. I can't even say its due to him mourning his mother's death.
He already has his multi milli $$ tour cancelled.
He is alienating himself from his fans and his peers.

Talk about self destruction.

I think Amber Rose is about to drop him like a bad habit!

From his recent behavior, he seems to be having the beginnings of an emotional breakdown.
He really seems to be one container short of a six-pack. He needs Therapy fast!

Hey Jacquetta!

If this is correct...he needs help! Maybe he's bi-polar. Medication can help...

Hello Jessica !

I don't think anything he has done is really that big of a deal. I think the VMA thing was scripted or else he would have been taken off stage by security. I am not saying he doesn't act like a douche sometimes, but I think everything is being blown out of proportion now.
