Kanye West shuts down NY right now.
Kim Kardashian West posted videos of the the singer showing up at the venue on her Snapchat.
In one of the videos posted on Snapchat, West is on the phone and heard saying "call the mayor and shut down the block."
But Webster Hall's management announced the show would not take place due to the increasingly large crowd gathered outside. The hall can only hold 1,500.
Fans of West were seen climbing on dumpsters, trucks, and nearby buildings trying to catch sight of the singer.
I just met and shook Ye's hand #shoutdownNY @TeamKanyeDaily
Shortly after it started to spread on Twitter that West was at Trump Soho. Crowds of fans quickly gathered there.
Scavenger hunt where to next @kanyewest
West did not appear. The hunt continued...
At about 3.50 a.m. Kim posted a Snapchat video where she said the pair had given up and gone to bed.
"Sorry guys, we tried. We tried so hard. But it was just bigger and the cops wouldn't allow it," she said in the video.
It's just Kanye, being Kanye.
Who else could shut down a whole NYC block other than God? Ye forever @kanyewest
