Kanye West's plans to project his controversial new music video onto a national landmark fizzled out on Sunday night.

The rapper told fans on his website to gather at the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas to see a viewing of his New Slaves video.

But the 35-year-old's latest publicity stunt failed to materialize even though around 500 people gathered to see the event, according to MySanAntonio.com.

A crowd of fans and protestors arrived a 11:30pm but San Antonio police officers had already stated that no permit for the projection had been issued. They warned that if someone attempted to set up a projector it would be taken down.

With no projector and no video in sight, the non-event ended as the crowd dispersed.

But that didn't prevent locals from being upset by West's plans.

Texas National Movement member Angie Alexander said: "It's very disrespectful to the people who died there."

Mark Loeffler, spokesperson for the Texas General Land Office, the Alamo's caretaker, agreed. He said: "It's sad that people have such little respect for the Alamo."
