Kanye West abruptly ended his headlining performance at the
Meadows Music & Arts Festival in New York City early Monday morning after learning that his wife, Kim Kardashian West, had been robbed at gunpoint in Paris, Pitchfork reports.
“I’m sorry, there’s a family emergency, I have to stop the show,” West reportedly told the crowd before leaving the stage.
Kardshian West was held at gunpoint in her Paris “private apartment” by two armed robbers dressed as police officers, according to a CNN report.
A spokeswoman for Kardashian West told CNN that the reality TV star was “badly shaken but physically unharmed” following the robbery.
The robbers reportedly tied up Kardashian West in the apartment bathroom and stole “several million euros” in “mostly jewellery,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
