Kanye West celebrated his placement on TIME’s “100 Most Influential People List” at the TIME 100 Gala. Ye quickly became the highlight of the event held in NYC’s Lincoln Center. To kick things off Amy Schumer pretended to fall right in front of Kanye and Kim Kardashian, who both kept walking.
Once inside the venue, Kanye gave what Kim has called “the craziest performance ever.” Ye took to the stage as James Brown’s “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World” before running through some hits including “All Day,” “Runaway,” and “Only One.”
Watch Kim and Kanye’s reaction to Amy’s prank as well as footage from Ye’s performance below.
