Kanye West was catchin’ a lot of heat this weekend after a photo went viral of a breakfast that was being served at an event being held by his Sunday Service team on Friday night.  Kanye and crew performed in Baton Rouge Friday night at the annual "Brunchella" fundraising event at Bethany Church. Guests were charged $55 per plate and the photo made it look like a frozen meal with a lot of people comparing it to meals served at the Fyre Festival. Kanye immediately came under fire from people sayin’ he was tryin’ to profit off of awful food but apparently Kanye didn't receive any money to perform Friday and covered all travel costs for his choir as well so he wasn’t making anything. The catering company that served the food says Kanye had nothing to do with their choice of meals and that ONE bad plate that was served to one person went viral.
