Kanye West rants to an audience that 'Facebook lied to you'

KANYE West ditched a concert just 10 minutes in after unleashing another tirade aimed at Beyonce and Jay Z.

“Get ready to have a field day, press, because the show’s over,” West said, during a show in Sacremento.

According to the Sacremento Bee, fans who had paid big bucks for tickets and merchandise left the venue chanting and swearing at the rapper.

West reportedly came on stage close to two hours late and then only performed three songs — repeating one — before launching into an epic rant suggesting Beyonce’s Formation win at the MTV Video Music Awards was rigged.

“Beyonce, I was hurt,” West said.

“I heard that you said you wouldn’t perform unless you won Video of the Year over me and [Drake’s] Hotline Bling, he said.

He then backtracked. “In my opinion - now don’t go dissing Beyoncé, 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,” West added.

“F**k winning, f**k looking cool, f**k being cool.”

He also went off on Jay Z asking the rapper to call him and talk to him “like a man.”.

“Jay Z, I know you got killas. Please don’t send them at my head. Just call me — talk to me like I man,” he said.

After telling the audience he is “just a man... the same as everybody here,” West added: “This is the future. This is the way of thinking to make America great again.”

This was met by boos, but West wasn’t bothered: “You don’t like that. Guess what? Y’all need the vibes. I was hurt. Feelings matter, bro. The way motherf****** put money up so high. Popularity. Radio spins. Feelings matter, bro.

“It’s a new world, Hillary Clinton. It’s a new world. Feelings matter. Because guess what? Everybody in middle America felt a way, and they showed you how they felt... It’s a new world Barack. It’s a new world Jay Z.”

West added: “If you keep following old models, your ass is going to get Hillary Clinton’d.

“I ain’t here to massage you with the fake truth, telling you that Hillary going to win over and over and over. Then you wake up and you still can’t believe it. You know why? Because you was lied to by Google. You was lied to by Mark Zuckerberg.”

Local news reporter Joe Khalil wrote: “After showing up an hour and a half late to #sacramento concert did #kanye West just walk off stage?? @FOX40.”

Fan Whitney Polk wrote on Facebook: “He played the same song twice, stopped in the middle in the second song, ranted foe about ten minutes, and then walked off stage.”

Saturday’s incident comes after the hip-hop star shocked a crowd in San Jose by revealing his support for US President-elect Donald Trump while suggesting he still plans to challenge him in 2020.

It comes days after the rapper endorsed Donald Trump, saying he would have voted for him.

“Because I’m a celebrity, everyone told me not to say that I loved the debates, I loved his approach,” West said.

West said Trump was exposing racism.

“If people are racist and they feel more inspired to say how they feel, then they’re exposing themselves,” he said.

“To black people — stop focusing on racism. This world is racist, okay? Let’s stop being distracted to focus on that as much,” he reportedly said.

West has previously said he would run for president in 2020.

“I don’t say 2020 because I disrespect our president at all. ... I’ve just got some ideas about the way we should connect,” he told an audience in San Jose last week.

The rapper proposed that President Barack Obama and Hillary take roles in advising Trump, running the United States through “collective ideas.”

Of West, Trump has said, “I’ll never say bad about him ... because he loves Trump.”
