Kanye West promo screening shut down by police

A screening of Kanye West’s new video ‘New Slaves’ in Houston Texas was thwarted by police after fans were told they were trespassing on private property.

Last weekend was the beginning of the screenings, and saw the video projected onto buildings in cities around the world. A new selection of locations was chosen for this weekend as well, including the Rothko Chapel in Houston. However, soon after they arrived last night, police came to tell fans that they would be arrested if they did not leave the premises as it was private property.

According to The Houston Chronicle, two other screenings in the city also failed to take place. One at the Central Library was dropped due to technical difficulties, and a second at Bush Memorial Hall was a “no show” according to fans, one of whom said:  “All we saw were the sprinklers come on and obnoxious people screaming Kanye threats.”

More locations on the website have been updated, including screenings in Milan and Amsterdam.
