This definitely out-does London Koko in the surprise stakes. Last night Kanye West took to a last-minute show on the edge of Verevan’s Swan Lake, in Armenia.

Spanning just under an forty-five minutes, the show saw Kanye running through hits in the middle of the city, before attempting to walk on water (Yeezus-style) and diving into Swan Lake itself. Hundreds of fans promptly followed the rapper into the lake, causing chaos.

The gig is believed to have taken placed in line with the 100th anniversary of the country’s genocide. Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian, is of Armenian descent. She flew with Kanye to the show.

Needless to say, there’s a lifetime supply of ‘Kanye jumps into lake’ vines.
