US rapper Kanye West was told that he sucked by a US festival crowd at the weekend after he appeared late for a scheduled performance.

West was due to take to the stage at the Bonnaroo Festival at 2.45am on Sunday morning but eventually appeared over an hour and a half later.

The rapper was booed by a restless crowd, who chanted “Kanye Sucks” when he finally emerged on stage.

According to a festival spokesperson, West's late arrival was caused by the complex nature of his stage show, which depicts him in space.
