West took the stage at the end of the show, backed by Charlie Wilson and the Roots, but he had another surprise planned.
The rapper changed “Bound 2’s” opening lyrics, “All them other n—-s lame, and you know it now” to “Brandy‘s little sister lame, and he know it now,” a reference to Brandy’s only sibling, her little brother Ray J, the infamous sex tape partner of West’s current girlfriend.
West recently announced he’s embarking on his first solo tour in five years, kicking off Oct. 19 in Seattle. Tickets go on sale starting Friday.
