Kanye West will close Toronto's Pan Am Games

by Jesse Locke

Toronto’s Pan Am Games just dropped a bombshell: Kanye is confirmed to perform at the closing ceremony on Sunday, July 26 at the Pan Am Ceremonies Venue (a.k.a. Rogers Centre).

This info was originally leaked by Brampton, Ontario-born NBA player Anthony Bennett, who currently throws down for the Minnesota Timberwolves. In an early morning tweet, Bennett casually mentioned the rumoured appearance of Yeezus, sending news outlets into a scramble and likely forcing the hand of the Games to make the info official.

So far Pitbull and Serena Ryder have also been confirmed to perform at the closing ceremony. Some sources are speculating that its timing aligning with Caribana and OVO Fest means that Kanye may appear on those dates as well. Can we also expect another bro-down with Drake? Front row antics at a Raptors game? Only trill time will tell.
