He offered zero explanation.

The much-anticipated show was scheduled to start at 8 p.m. However, West didn’t make his entrance until 9:10 p.m., a whopping 70 minutes away from the original time. To make things worse, audiences didn’t receive any prior notification about this delay.

As soon as West entered the stage, he plunged straight into his performance without addressing the audience or making any introductory remarks.
