Kanye West ‘Rescued’ During Armenia Lake Stunt

KANYE West had to be shepherded to safety by security after enthusiastic fans followed the rapper’s lead and piled into a lake in Armenia.
The US rapper strode into the water during a free gig in Yerevan, causing chaotic scenes as the crowd ran after the superstar.

Security and police plucked West out of the scrum as photographers waded into Swan Lake to capture the melee.

Before his water walk, West – whose latest album is called Yeezus – shouted down the mic: “Over there, can y’all see me over there? We’re going to do something different right now, like, like, like we always do it this time!”
The rapper has been in Armenia with wife Kim Kardashian on a high-profile trip to connect with her family’s heritage.

Kardashian seemed impressed with her husband’s exploits, tweeting: “Thousands of people were there! Kanye jumped in swan lake to be closer to the crowd on the other side & so many people jumped in too!”
She added later: “Such an exciting crazy night! So happy I got to rock out with everyone in Armenia on our last night here!!!! #EpicNight #ArmenianPride”.

Kardashian is also reportedly in the country to make a documentary about the mass killings of Armenians during the First World War.

Armenians say up to 1.5 million of their kin were killed in a “genocide” between 1915 and 1917 as the Ottoman Empire was falling apart – a claim Turkey strongly denies. SkyNews
