![Kanye West jumps into water as fans, cops, jump in along with the soaking wet rapper at last minute concert in Armenia. Kanye decided to organize the show at literally 9pm on late Sunday night and by using social media over 3,000 screaming fans showed up at the duck pond to watch him perform at nearly 1:20am local time. Kanye was on stage singing his hit when his mic started to short out as the crowd noticed. Minutes later he asked a section of the crowd if they could see him and after realizing they could not, he jumped literally into the middle of the duck pond and drops his mic into the water due to it being too wet and ruined. He is then literally surrounded by the fans as they run into the water with him as his bodyguard Pascal is spotted running to his side along with the Armenian National Guard and Police all getting soaking wet to retrieve the rap star. Kanye was then brought closer as a fan tried to touch his hand, the cops pushed him and Kanye reacted to holding the cops back to let the fan get a photo with him in the pond too! Madness occurs in a stampede style follow as Kanye is finally pulled to the top of the pond and is guided with his entourage out of the park with thousands running and following him out of the concert. Kim Kardashian was shown on side stage watching her man perform and was all smiles](https://media.radaronline.com/brand-img/k8E_-35vV/0x0/2015/04/kanye-west-jumps-lake-outdoor-concert-armenia-photos-01.jpg)
