Page Six has referred to it as an “epic meltdown,” reporting that West threatened to leave SNL. In the audio, he complains about the set, saying/yelling: “Look at that shit. They took my fuckin’ stage off of SNL, without asking me. Now I’m bummed. That and Taylor Swift, fake ass. Now I ain’t gon’ do this. We breakin’ the motherfuckin’ internet.”

He also screams “Don’t fuck with me!” and invokes some famous names: “Stanley Kubrick, Apostle Paul...” whatever that means.
