At a Sacramento, California, stop Sunday, West called out Beyonce and her husband Jay Z.
"I am putting my career, my life, my public well-standing at risk, when I talk to y'all like this," West said. "Beyoncé, I was hurt, cause I heard that you said you wouldn't perform unless you won (VMA) Video of the Year over me, over 'Hotline Bling.'"
At a San Jose, California, stop before that, he said that had he voted in the 2016 presidential election, he would have voted for President-elect Donald Trump.

West only performed two songs -- one of which a fan said was repeated -- and abruptly walked off stage.

People reported that November is a difficult time for West, according to an unnamed source. His mother, Donda, died in November 2007 at 58 years old of heart disease after cosmetic surgery.
“His mother died in November, so this time of year always brings him a lot of pain," the source told People. "He keeps that pain internalized, but sometimes will talk about how hard this time of year is for him. He works through the pain every November."
The source told People that West "feels like he’s under spiritual attack, and has been for awhile."
West's wife, Kim Kardashian West, was reportedly making a return to the spotlight at Gabrielle's Angel Foundation for Cancer Research's Angel Ball in New York, but returned to LA after learning about West's hospitlization.
"Kim was terrified," a different unnamed source told Entertainment Tonight. "She was so scared when she heard the news and rushed to his side. There was no question about her staying in NYC. She had to be with him last night."
Kris Jenner, Kardashian 's mother, gave an update on West while at the ball. On the red carpet, when asked "How's Kanye?" Jenner said, "Exhausted" Inside the event, she said West was "good," according to Vanity Fair.
