If you are in charge of an event and it is being compared to the Fyre Festival, you need to find a new profession. Kanye West is getting slammed on social media for the sad Brunchella breakfast that was served at this weekend’s Sunday Service event.
On Saturday, Kanye performed songs from his latest album Jesus Is King at Bethany Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Fans had the option to purchase breakfast for $55 at the Brunchella experience. Sadly, the breakfast was so pathetic that it was quickly compared to the Fyre Festival debacle.
Kimberly Kinchen says she was at the Brunchella and was not happy about the breakfast spread.
“This is the wonderful & COLD brunch BUFFET we are being served by Boil & Roux BR,” she wrote on Facebook. “& the server looked at me crazy when I asked for another pancake. WAFB Channel 9 can y’all cover a story on this because I want my coins back for a general admission ticket (FREE TICKET). Edit: I opted out of a small scoop of cold grits.”
The breakfast included pancakes that looked like they were frozen, some thin and pathetic bacon strips, and unappealing sausage patty that looks raw served on a styrofoam plate. The photo instantly conjured memories of the sad sandwich that was served at the Fyre Festival.
The dinner that @fyrefestival promised us was catered by Steven Starr is literally bread, cheese, and salad with dressing. #fyrefestival pic.twitter.com/I8d0UlSNbd

The VIP section was also bashed on Twitter, and one person called it a “scam.” “Like they really had us hanging out on a hill away from the stage, promised we’d be ushered in later, only to hit us with ‘nope,'” tweeted a Kanye fan from the @retrobeats account.
#Brunchella VIP was a scam, 😭😭😭😭. How do I get my money back?!

It was late getting started. Then a bunch of waiting in lines no one could explain. The food was COLDER than the temp outside. Food was pancakes, eggs, bacon & grits. VIP ticket holders got scammed into thinking we’d be behind the choir… but got stopped at the gate. View: pic.twitter.com/G6ugcQQ2pe

Like they really had us hanging out on a hill away from the stage, promised we’d be ushered in later, only to hit us with “nope.” 😭😭😭! They even had the white folks HOT, one guy kept throwing around his law degree 😂😂. They just need to process refunds quickly. #Brunchella pic.twitter.com/rhWt3wVNEQ

On the bright side, it appears that Kanye was able to secure water for the event. No word on what he had to do to get the water.
Quick run through the Brunch tent. Looks like the standard breakfast fare for the #Brunchella portion of the night. pic.twitter.com/Rkoq69JLFX
