Kanye West reportedly has a 'meltdown' just before he was set to take the stage and perform on Saturday Night Live over the weekend.
The rapper and fashion designer, who just released his new album The Life of Pablo on Tidal, almost did not perform according to a source, who said he had to be convinced to take the stage.
'Just moments leading into the live show, and during the live show, Kanye had a meltdown and threatened to walk off,' a source told Page Six.

Issues: 'It had something to do with the set. Kim, who was in the audience with Kylie Jenner, had to come down,' said a source (above on Saturday)
The source said of the incident; 'It had something to do with the set. Kim, who was in the audience with Kylie Jenner, had to come down.
'Lorne had to personally talk to Kanye. There were a few really tense minutes” when it looked like West was walking, leaving the live NBC show in the lurch.'
Another source said; 'He’s having regular meltdowns. Everyone’s walking on eggshells around him. He’s under a lot of stress between the new album and the fashion line.'
All's well: Kanye ultimately performed on the show, which was hosted by Melissa McCarthy (Kim outside his dressing room)
On Monday Kanye went on another of his Twitter rants, asking 'Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, New York Times' to 'not comment on black music anymore,' calling Puff Daddy 'the most important cultural figure in my life,' and saying he 'don't understand what it means to be the great grandson of ex slaves.'
He also said that the 'system is designed for colored people to fail and one of our only voices is music.'
Kanye revealed during that same rant that his album will never go on sale and will only ever be available on Tidal, the digital music service which is subscription based and owned by his friend Jay Z and other music artists.
