As reported yesterday, Kanye West has scheduled a few more screenings of his "New Slaves" video throughout North America and Europe this weekend. While last week's screenings went rather smoothly, last night's projection in Houston never quite got off the ground.

H-town police showed up to the event with orders to vacate the premises on the means of "trespassing", thus fans were ushered out before the video was shown. 

The crowd that gathered for the event was audibly disappointed, with some even yelling out objections directed at Yeezy.

“All we saw were the sprinklers come on and obnoxious people screaming Kanye threats." said a fan to the Houston Chronicle.
