Taking to the Wireless Festival stage in London last night (July 4), Kanye West was noticeably booed during a 20-minute performance break in which the rapper launched into a familiar rant.
Following the rant, Kanye rattled off hits like “Mercy,” “All Of The Lights,” “Touch The Sky,” and “Blood On The Leaves.” Nonetheless, festival attendees apparently began leaving the performance and booing during the rant.
Video of the crowd reaction was posted on Vine.
“How many people wanna contribute something to the world?” he said. “I know ya’ll might have seen some of my interviews and see me on TV, but what I was saying the whole time is—I’m not particularly angry or anything like that—they taking the idea of celebrity and trying to make me seem like I’m stupid or something. You know, when I take these meetings and shit people will talk to you like you stupid or something…I’m not gonna call no names out, I’m not gonna mention Nike or nothing like that. I’m not gonna say no names or anything. But if you a creative and you wanna create and you just wanna create more this is exactly what I’ve been fighting for. So, if you hear me talking about Louis Vuitton or the Gucci Group or anything like that, I’m not dissing Louis Vuitton. I’m not dissing the Gucci Group and shit. I’m just saying don’t discriminate against me because I’m a Black man or because I’m a celebrity and tell me I can’t create. You know damn well no Black guys or celebrities making Louis Vuitton nothing. They let Pharrell make those glasses, and we liked’em right? They let me make those shoes and we liked’em right? They said, ‘No, no, no nigga. Not no more. That’s too much.’”
“That’s why I got this fucking mask on,” he later said. “I ain’t worried about saving face. Fuck my face. That sounded wrong. Pause. They finally got a headline. But fuck whatever my face is supposed to mean and fuck whatever the name Kanye is supposed to mean, it’s about my dreams.”
Footage of the rant itself was uploaded by Link Up TV.

lol his a looser thinking people wanna hear him rant like a old woman
*he’s a loser
you fucking idiot.
Platinum albums, worldwide fame, owns his own businesses, and has a networth of 100 million. Yeah, the man who can’t spell L-O-S-E-R is calling Kanye a loser. lol
still just a lame sellout with money
^^TRUTH. like bad spelling trumps the fact that Kanye is just a piece of shit.
As a fan, his ranting is fine at his actual concerts, saw him in November for the Yeezus Tour, but it doesn’t work at festivals; saw him at Bonnaroo. People don’t want to hear it at festivals.
It’s about god damn time.
i dont blame them. they paid to see Drake and he cancelled so instead they had to listen to a 20 min Kanye Kardashian rant.
“Im not gonna call no names out, Im not gonna mention Nike or nothing like that.”….”So, if you hear me talking about Louis Vuitton or the Gucci Group or anything like that, Im not dissing Louis Vuitton. Im not dissing the Gucci Group and shit. Im just saying dont discriminate against me because Im a Black man or because Im a celebrity and tell me I cant create”
you just did…. then named a bunch more brands.. WALKING CONTRADICTION
lol at dx hatred toward kanye. they actual scoured vine until they saw a video with 10 people booing next to one guy with a camera who was booing. if the entire crowd was booing, it would’ve been way louder than kanye. i’m 100% sure kanye gets booed to this extent at every show, just like i’m sure drake gets booed by a small group at every show. you all are laughable. ya’ll are gonna be mad when hnhh takes the money out your pockets.
its not just hhdx this is being reported on numerous websites
He is one greedy motherfucker and when he doesn’t get what he wants he uses the racism card. How many deals does this guy want anyway? He has got more than enough.
This. Co sign
FUCK KANYE WEST
THAT’S RIGHT … FUCK THIS $13 MILLION LOSING NO FASHION HAVING OBESE WOMEN LOVING EGOTISTICAL NARCISSISTIC CAR CRASH HAVING PLASTIC SURGERY FUNDING HAS-BEEN
everything isnt about race you fucking moron. maybe those brands dont want to be associated with an ego maniac. maybe your designs are trash… like leather jogging pants? CMON SON.
kanye is such a fuckin asshole shit mc what a fuckin dick
Why are those dirty white faggots at his show if they’re going to talk and boo?
they paid to see Drake brah but he cancelled last minute and got replaced by Kanye. what a let down.
They paid to see Drake but Drake cancelled so Kanye was replaced.
lol @ yall kanye haters.. jus cuz you dont like tha nigga doesnt mean he aint right.. there is plenty of racism in the fashion world as reported by plenty of models n designers.. if his designs were trash ppl wouldnt be paying $3000-$5000 for a pair of yeezys.. haters gonna hate
He made his point the first time. No need for him to say that shit over and over again. The nigga looks like he’s crying over a lollypop that he can’t have. The nigga deserves a smack in his face and a long time depression to get his mind right!
But once again, how many of us really give a fuck about high end fashion let alone his rich problems and tantrums?
@eljay he made his point one time so he should shut up?.. what if MLK or Malcolm X made they point one time n shut up?.. simple minded niggas i swear SMH
Kanye ain’t MLK or Malcom X, though.
“So, if you hear me talking about Louis Vuitton or the Gucci Group or anything like that, Im not dissing Louis Vuitton. Im not dissing the Gucci Group”
Ofc hes not dissing, hes bringing them up to the people who came to a show to listen some music for goddamn recreation, the whole thing looks more like some commercial break, ridiculous.
someday…he is going to have to come to the realization….THAT PEOPLE DO NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HIS rich people problems. I’m sure there were many people in the crowd who have student loan debt…maybe struggling to pay bills…or taking care a stuggling loved one. Nobody wants to hear about his problem with “high end” fashion designers.
i care
jeezus YE, you fell off, you you you you feeelll off
fell fell oooooff
you wish fuck boi
Fuck his face? Ugh…
But dude stole that mask idea from MF DOOM who stole the idea from Ghostface Killah, the OG masked goon.
And btw Ye, no one cares about your problems in the fashion world. You got that deal with Adidas. Go sit down and make some shit and stop talking about it.
Nobody likes a loud mouth except his yes men.
plus he actually stole the whole design of his mask from some unknown artist…
MF DOOM does it in a comic book villain style, and is better than the other two so yea…
People are getting sick and tired of this rant and raving little fuckin bitch. Use to be a fan, but last few years of acting like a little girl and crying like a bitch turned my ears the fuck away.
u gay
^ Can’t handle the truth so he has to call people what he is, gay.
What a weak ass nigga lol
Damn that nigga got a big ole football head in that pic lol
This bitch nigga is trash
MF DOOM does it in a comic book villain style, and is better than the other two so yea.
These Kanye tickets are like 200$. Nobody pays that money to hear him rant about the fashion industry. What a fuckboy. They pay to see you perform your music. A little talking in between songs is normal, but 20 fucking minutes on the bullshit!?
everybody hates Kanye?
CD, LR, MBDTF are the best albums of all time
Kim is that you?
He needs to take a trip over to Africa and reexamine his life. No one cares about his rich nicca problems.
True. He’s been hanging out in Paris for far too long; it’s starting to spoil him. He definitely needs to go to third world countries a lot more.
LOL niggas pay to see him and then boo him, acting like they took the W that day. No you dumb niggas, y’all took the L cause at the end of the day you still wasted money on Kanye
You’re such a fucking moron.
^^ Was that the best argument you could come up with??? LMAO and you have the nerve to call ME a moron SMH
He’s right, you are a moron.
^^ So you can relate to the 2nd anonymous, huh???
“Fuck my face. That sounded wrong. Pause.”
No it didn’t. It sounded perfect.
BEST RAPPER of the Y2K decade..YEEZY era 2004 thru 2010..this new era is al aboutKENDICK LAMAR…#GKMC best rap album of this decade 2011 thru 2019
Learn english you fuckin moron.
And hashtags are useless here you imbecile. We are not on fuckin twitter.
^^ Lol at this troll dedicating his life to telling people what to do on DX
He is taking Drake’s spot tomorrow… them teenage girls will slaughter him if he rants again
Damn that’s sad… all a nigga trying to do is kick game about what the industry is like to his fans. And it’s called rants? I just heard Demi Lovato had two dudes kissing each other on stage and that’s called a protest + her fans support it.
If I was Ye I would just let these niggas get fucked over because obviously they hate you when you try to school em on life as a entertainer. Fucking dumbasses. How a top artist talking about his experiences in the world a bad thing? Man fuck these stupid ass fans, talking about “Perform and shut up!” Are y’all niggas serious? Smh this culture all the way fucked up tbh..
He’s talking about fashion nobody trying to hear that bullshit if he wants to kick game do it to the niggas that are doing fashion not an audience that came to see you rap if you went into a restaurant and your waiter ranted instead of bringing your food would you be there like “ooh ah he just kicking game”? No you’d be pissed
Lol but Ye isn’t a waiter tho. Now everyone knows for the past year he has been doing the same thing at every concert he has attended but they expected him to change up? For what? Nigga centered a whole tour around the concept of preaching (which people call rants). The better comparison is going to a Chinese restaurant and getting pissed off when you see no cheeseburgers on the menu.
If Kanye promised before hand he wouldn’t talk I would understand but that didn’t happen at all.
They do know he has been doing it but Ye right now is like that little bitch nigga everyone hopes will change in time but doesn’t yes they expect him to change it’s been a year and for what? So they can get a show which is what they paid for as for his preaching he can keep it to himself like he’s the only black man to not get treated equally at high levels of business he’s just another case of “it’s not happening to me so I doesn’t matter” as soon as it did he turned into a crybaby
Never trust Chinese burgers brah me and my boy were selling lizards to our Chinese place and they were passing it off as ham haha also he shouldn’t have to promise because he should have deaded that a long time ago he should face the fact that… nobody gives a shit
Nothing but a bunch of shoot the messenger asses out here
maybe people have there own problems in this world and Kanye is in a position in this world to do what he wants by now without begging some corporate white man to put him on. He should take some lessons from Dame, Elijah or Farrakhan and do something positive with his life and help others instead of being overtly self indulgent like a bitch
Flipflopdxer’s talking about “about time” when his set consisted of old hits that they love, and constantly bring up how they want the old ye. Fucking idiots, the boos were for the rant, not the setlist.
Wale ass nigga. Stop nagging us like that.
I agree … Fight for your rights let no one hold you back from shit. This world is fuckin backwards.
the english are too fuckin stupid to understand kanye
Is that coming from a stupid Yankee American? You couldn’t even point out Canada on a map hahaha
OP is right English people are horrifically repressed in terms of self-esteem and ambition. It’s a cultural faux pas to believe in yourself. They are constantly putting each other down trust me. Imagine the worst crab nigga in the hood then multiply it by 1000x and you have an average Englishman. They make a social status out of how little you believe in yourself.
“Imagine the worst crab nigga in the hood then multiply it by 1000x and you have an average Englishman”
#DEAD
^ Gtfo with your hashtag retarded ass bitch. They are no use on this site fuckin moron
Did I hurt your feelings? Chill the fuck out nigga, DAMN LMAO
That comment highlights why the rest of the whole world despise Americans. Your arrogance and ignorance is incredible. You made a comment about a nation based on a bias article on an american site based on rumours. Who from HipHop Dx was even in that crowd. I was there, the crowd loved Kanye and he said some real shit. A few boos but thats normal. Why didn’t they post videos of the crowd calling his name or singing word for word his songs. American is a pit of hate and ignorance. Leave the states and you’ll realise how disliked you guys really are. Cunts
i think these guys are still mad about a little thing i call the revolutionary war!! fuck england!
This is why American’s will never understand English people. It’s not that we are repressed in fact far from it. We just have a witty and dark self depreciating sense of humour. We don’t take ourselves seriously like 90% of deluded Americans. Believe me i’ve travelled America visited over 30 states and found that the only tolerable American’s are the well travelled and cultured ones. The rest are completely deluded and it always makes me laugh how offended you all get by the C***t word.
cunt is a disgusting word
do you kanye fuck these cock suckers! they love u today and hate u tomorrow then vice versa. in the end you’ll always be the same nigga in that skin so do what helps u feel good about your life. they haven’t found their way yet so they knock you for finding yours…
Fam needs to start vLogging or something. Ye tickets expensive too. No way I’m paying that much to hear all that
He talking all this fashion stuff to the wrong audience. These are fans of your music my G. Most of them couldn’t care less about Yeezys, or apparel in general. They paid to hear Kanye West rap
co-sign. 100%
I wish everyone would start booing this dude at his concerts.
Only in America do we tolerate this garbage hip hop and this garbage ego rants.
Seriously who cares about your bi polar opinion on fashion companies.
This bloke raps about stuff that no one cares about.
I never heard John Lennon, Michael Jackson, bob Marley, James brown sing about this trash.
Why doesn’t he have a rant about the amount of poor people doing it tough or about the crime rate in Chicago, or about American foreign policy.
Seriously public enemy made hip hop for this guy to go on rich people rants?
Kanye west is a joke and the world sees it. We still like this weak hip hop.
Kanye needs to work with Pharoahe monch, mos def, Talib, black thought, common, dead prez, rhymefest and all those real hip hop cats he used to work with back when he was good.
This. Great post.
Funny you say that shit, when his setlist for these festivals comprise of his older stuff. You’re obviously an idiot if you think no one cares about his raps.
1st world problems. Hahahaha lol.
This dude is a sell out.
They Booing Gucci and LV not Kanye! #SayNoToRacism
NO, they were booing #GayFish
Hashtags on a site that doesn’t support it? Lame.
People didn’t pay to watch him complain about european designers not fucking with him… They want to hear music. That’s it! Save that rant shit for a blog or something. Those designers hate that minorities wear their clothes and this fucking clown can’t except. Minorities, in particular black people will kill their own culture but go out of their way to support those euro brands so they can look cool and swagged out. SMH
Kanye is slowly killing his career with his greediness and spoiled kid attitude. Soon most people will dislike him and he will lose respect from fans, people in the music industry and as a celebrity.
Just a few years ago, not even, Kanye was considered a legend as big as Jay-Z or Eminem, now he is making a laughing stock of himself and slowly digging his own grave with his fucked up attitude and narcissm. He should have just stuck with music but this guy is too full of himself to even make good music anymore. Yeezus was garbage.
Kanye is too full of himself to make any good music anymore. He is digging his own grave with this spoiled child attitude and all this fashion bullshit.
The bitch is acting though his fans actually care about this fashion bullshit and his stupid rant. Man stfu and rap, people didn’t waste their money to hear you blabin like a cry baby.
crazy how he decided to take it somewhere that most cant follow. keep up or it will go over your head for sure
Funny thing is the ‘rant’ was about empowering yourself and not letting anybody or anything belittle you or stop you from dreaming big. HiphopDX did the exact thing he said the media were gonna do. Chop and screw the performance and things said and scrutinise it. I respect him, he may be wrong with some things he says and does but atleast he has the balls to say shit. HiphopDX has lost all of my ratings for this article. Just wanted to come at Kanye it seems, like most of these blog sites, since negativity sells and you guys are feeding it. Jay Balfour you’re a hater, a sideman for writing an article based ona instagram video and a prick for not mentioning anything positive. On that note, I hope you have a bad day, you poisonous scumbag
Gotta cosign this
Every time I read some shitty headline like this DX.. I get a little bit more urged to never visit this site again. Negativity breeds negativity, we need to enlighten ourselves, listen to Ye! Anyway.. yo, what’s a better hiphop site than this trash y’all? Used to be Allhiphop TRASH, now it used to be DX TRASH. What’s next? Hopefully no trash. peace.
Go to WSHH
Fuck Kayne West , All you STANS from KTT ! Fuck all ya!!
It’s disheartening for some people, go global receive all this love and forget they’re black, and still find they have to sip on that same cup of tea as the masses!
Fuck kanye
Kanye West is da most garbage rapper ever. ya feel me? he copy otha rappers style and beats!!! … what an asshole douchbag. dis nigga copied Lil Wayne numerous times… fuck Kangay West!!!
The College Registration: wack!
Late Dropout: wack!
My Beautiful Graduation: wack!
808s & Dark Fantasies: wack!
Twisted Heartbreak: wack!
Air Yeezy: wack
I don’t like Kanye anymore since he turned his back on hip hop.
But lil Wayne is the worst popular rapper I have ever heard.
Seriously. The south has ruined hip hop.
The south needs scarface and outkast back.
u forgot yeezus stoner
His first 2 albums were dope and were hip hop, The stuff he did as a producer up until about that point were as well. Graduation was when it went all out pop for him and since then its more of the same. MBDTF was decent but overrated and the others I failed to mention are just blah. I agree Lil Wayne was the worst of rappers to become extremely popular. Kanye was the best of the really popular rappers of the worst era of rap. He makes great beats with great samples and knows how to arrange a song and and an album very well. Lyrics wise he is usually just average though
everyone is sick of your crying aka rants kanye
I was at the gig, love Ye, but I’ve seen him several times and he has ranted more than not at these gigs. Sometimes you just want him to stick to the fans, when were paying loads of hard earned money to watch him perform, and he keeps it completely about him, I thought he had grown as a person since having a child, it seems he just wants to keep his ego and celebrity at a high, didn’t even say thanks to the fans when he finished. Was disappointing from him, besides that he smashed the concert.
I was there as well and I agree with what you have said. Despite the rant his performance was amazing. There’s a time and place for things like of that nature and friday night was not one of them.
Fans are spoiled. I’d rather listen to this guy rant than half of the morons out there who dont even have a stage performance set up and scream and grab their nuts for 2 hours over songs with the lyrics on them.
Bunch of whiny ass peasants always crying about something.
Nobody esp the people in his crowds cares or wants to hear about his rich man problems. We can not relate and no matter how much he talks about it we still wont, and the majority of the world would love to be in his shoes and would not have one complaint about it. So just perform and shut up!
Clown should have been like I smack(ed) ’em when they say ‘nigga’, fuck your shoes, your glasses, then we would applaud you. Fuck outta here.
“Thats why I got this mask on. Cause I aint worried about saving face. FUCK MY FACE!-that sounded wrong….pause.” That part had me in tears.
Me too. It sounded so perfect…
Funnily enough he then repeated this action on Saturday, except he ranted for even longer. I left 15 minutes into the rant and know it was going for at least another 20 minutes after that. Most people had in fact left early
i heard he stopped his set and played 3 drake songs and got the crowd to sing along, like wtf
Bet his gay ass yeezys will come with the front bottoms ripped so they can rant while you walk
seen this joke 8 months ago on this very site. nobody laugh
Do like Prince did way back, change your name, guarantee it will get more attention than all those fucking tired ‘I’m a slave yet I;m a millionaire trying to sound white (white girl accent/bad grammar) but get mad when they reject me shit’. p.s to all dickriders/ye apologists: I’m not rich ( in terms of money) but I am not struggling( in terms of money/ being a black man), so save your fruity comments.
exactly what a broke nigga would say. commenting on a grown man’s grammar. fuck outta here. he’s 100 million dollars removed from kindergarten. can you stop now please? stop sucking the dick of latin ivory tower supremacists.
language is about conveying an idea. not about elitism on how you speak. that’s what white people want you to do is argue all day over this BS instead of chasing paper. did you know all the english swear words were originally anglo saxon terms for stuff, and the scientific word was the french? why you think sappy white ppl mix in french quotes all the time. nothing but classism. exactly what slavery is built on
Aint nobody making you watch & listen , lol why he gotta change for you? F#ck off ya weirdo
Dumb ass # 1, did you watch dude’s interviews from last year, money using a white valley girl accent, oh, I get it you became a fan when dude wore a skirt, excuse me kilt. Yeah, we do check grown black men when they sound like white chicks or their grammar skills is retard level.
Latin Ivory? Go check what Latin means and that homo fuckery is a trait of your forebears, the Original black man doesn’t deal with that Battybwoy shit.
Dumb ass # 2 Slavery was mostly about ‘economics;, your ancestors used the race angle to justify their actions, just like they use ‘grand blanc and ‘petit blanc’ as a means of establishing ‘classicism”; What period of French history are you referring to when you say ‘science’? l’Age de la raison or l’Age de la lumiere? I believe you meant ‘legal’ since Royalties on both sides of the Channel intermarried, fought etc… and remember one of the longest European dynasties was the Plantagenet’s and guess what they wrote or were instrumental in law making in England.
To paraphrase the Teacher we, black folks, don’t all ‘eat chicken and watermelon, talk broken and drug sellin’
fuck is wrong yaw smhhhhhhhhh kanye is raw
Fuck England!! The American revolution has been over for a long time get over it ya pale crooked teeth snooty ugly uppity fucks!!! Lol kanye kept it real HHDX tainted the article
These fags up on here are too emotional. What the fuck is latin white dick? Fuck outta here, that homo
