Kanye West storms off US stage after long-winded rant

Kanye West has shocked fans after going on a rant and storming off stage during a concert in Sacramento, California.

The rapper showed up to the show an hour late, played three songs and went on a 20-minute tirade about Beyonce, Jay-Z and politics, before ending the concert abruptly without explanation.

Social media lit up with fans venting their frustration at West, with some saying they were “robbed” and calling for their money back.

In clips posted to Twitter, the rapper said he was hurt by Beyonce before asking Jay-Z to “call me”.

“Beyonce I was hurt because I heard you said you wouldn’t perform unless you won video of the year over me and Hotline Bling,” West can be heard saying.

“In my opinion not don’t go dissing Beyonce she’s great. Taylor Swift is great. We are all great people.

“But sometimes we be playing the politics too much and forget who we are – just to win.”

The incident came just days after West went on another political rant at his show in San Jose.
