VIDEO: Kanye West Booed Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2010

Kanye West joined the giant balloon lineup as Macy’s 84th Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade unfolded Thursday, drawing tens of thousands of spectators to the helium extravaganza on a chilly, overcast morning. Kanye was was one of many artists, including Jessica Simpson and Kylie Minogue, to hop on board a float for the festive parade — which followed the route it inaugurated last year, starting on Central Park West and proceeding down Seventh and Sixth avenues to 34th Street. The route had to be changed when vehicles were banned from parts of Broadway.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that everyone was raising their glasses in acclaim of the outspoken hip-hopster. Kanye was greeted with a hearty chorus of boos and jeers from some parade watchers as he made his way through the streets of the Big Apple.

How’s that for holiday cheer?

On Saturday, a video surfaced online which shows the crowd heckling the star with chants of “Taylor! Taylor!” in references Kanye’s recently-reignited spat with country star Taylor Swift. West was repeatedly booed by hundreds of onlookers in the footage. Spectators can be heard yelling: “You’re an asshole, buddy,” and “Hey Kanye, jump!”
