Diminishing Fan Base? Kanye West's 'Yeezus' Tour Draws Less Than 4500 Fans To 19,000 Seat Arena In Kansas City







Is Kanye West's Yeezus tour losing steam? Just four days ago it was reported based on an article in Forbes, that West's tour was grossing over $1 million per show. However, not all of the dates are pulling in big crowds.



Case in point, the Kansas City, Missouri stop on Tuesday (December 3). Less than 4500fans turned out to see the G.O.O.D. Music CEO at the Spirit Center, which seats more than 19,000.people



Bill Brownlee of The Kansas City Star reviewed the show. He believes Kanye's act may be wearing thin with fans.




The most shocking aspect of Kanye West's spectacular concert at the Sprint Center on Tuesday wasn't another suspect remark from the brash rapper. The meager attendance of less than 4,500 seemed inconceivably small for one of the most vital artists in popular music.

West almost certainly could have filled the Sprint Center five years ago. Tuesday's poor attendance indicates how his scandalous love life, frequent impolite pronouncements and his gradual shift away from conventional hip-hop have alienated many of his fans.
