None of the lights.

Kanye West berated his crew over the lighting multiple times during his Los Angeles comeback show Wednesday night.

The Grammy winner halted the concert mid-song for the sold-out crowd at SoFi Stadium.

West, 48, rapped his hits on top of a dome-shaped stage that projected as a spinning globe before changing to visuals resembling dark clouds, per a video obtained by TMZ.

While crooning his 2007 track “Good Life” from his “Graduation” album, he suddenly stopped and told the crew, “Yo, pause, pause, pause.”

“I don’t like these when the lights move like that,” the hitmaker said, referring to flashing lights hitting the dome, which was projecting dark, moving clouds.

“It don’t (sic) go with the stage,” he politely added as the music halted.

“Don’t do that,” West added, before apologizing to fans.

The song then continued, but the stage effects continued, and the “Bound 2” rapper once again told his crew to stop.

“You see that, when it does that,” he said. “Don’t do that. That s–t corny yo.”

“All right, run it back,” West told the workers, before once again pausing the show after singing only a few lyrics.

“What is this like an ‘SNL’ skit or something?” he questioned. “Stop doing the vibrating Vegas lights, bro. We went over this in rehearsal.”

West then instructed the crew to put the earth projection back up before he finished the track without interruption.

At one point in the night, West brought his and Kim Kardashian’s 12-year-old daughter, North, on stage to sing their collabs “Talking” and “Piercing on My Hand.”

The pre-teen took the stage with a blue hairdo, black sunglasses and a diamond skull necklace.

West, who last performed in the City of Angels five years ago, will return for a second concert on Friday.
