Kanye West got booed for the SECOND consecutive night at Wireless festival on Saturday.

Kanye West got booed for the SECOND consecutive night at Wireless festival on Saturday.

The rapper hit the stage for 15 minutes before he unleashed one of his infamous rants.

"The only reason I'm on this stage right now is because y'all my clique," he said after stopping the music.

"You know I go to the studio till 3am so you can listen to the music in your car."

But festival goers were all about the music they were listening to at London's Finsbury Park.

Dressed in his signature mask he quickly prompted boos, while some of the crowd began to yell "we want Drake!"

And just to anger his audience a bit more, Kim Kardashian's husband asked for the big side screens to be turned off again, too.

"I'm very shy in real life," he later told the crowd which again prompted another round of boos.

[...]

That prompted more boos. Lots of them. Then he started talking about depositions and making money off his image.

And people started yelling "we want Drake" again.

DRAMATIC LAST SECOND UPDATE:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/kanye-west-rants-third-time-3822264

Kanye West couldn't resist launching into a third rant to finish his trio of Wireless shows tonight in Birmingham - but thankfully, it only lasted five minutes this time.

The rapper told the crowd the media "twist everything" tonight and informed the world he's NOT "invincible".

It comes after two controversial rants in London, including one on Saturday night when Kim Kardashian's husband compared having pictures taken to rape.

Kim Kardashian's husband is losing it..

 

[ItIsOkBro]

People go to these things just to troll Kanye, no one actually wants Drake.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Why would they come to our concert just to boo us?

 

[malfcn]

Gawdawm.

I thought his rants were scripted? But having the crowd chant for Drake is taking it too far.

 

[Acorn]

Don't go to the stage if you don't want to see him.

 

[Jacobi]

What the heck? I'd rather see Kanye...

I think he just got booed again.

 

[Solid Samus]

oh man, that's something else

don't really get why they were booing him though

can someone provide some context? people just that tired of his personality or whatever? was it sparked by a rant?

Thank you for this.

 

[oatmeal]

He has to love being referred to as "Kim Kardashian's husband" lol

 

[injurai]

this is amazing

 

[cafemomo]

kanye did nothing wrong

 

[Papercuts]

It would be amazing if we could just replace all instances of his name from now on with Kim Kardashian's husband.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

Why would they come to our concert just to boo us?

Yes!

 

[TheOMan]

They called for Drake? Fun's fun, but that's taking it too far.

 

[Dies Iræ]

John Lennon was a huge asshole, but that's irrelevant to his legacy. The same applies here. All that matters is the music and Kanye's really talented. It's become popular to hate on Kanye and to disregard his talent because he's a media whore. Well, better a media whore than calling your wife awful names like Johno...

Spoiler

even if your wife is Yoko

 

[ShaneDude]

Why would you hurt Kayne's feelings like that? I actually feel bad for him.

 

[Mighty Chin]

Even if I had a free ticket I would go see him.

 

[MisterGrey3000]

Why would they come to our concert just to boo us?

lol

Edit: I understand why some people don't like his attitude, but Kanye is super talented. I mean, "We want Drake!"...really???

 

[The Silver]

"We want Drake"?

come on fans that's just taking it too far, have some class

Id totally take a kanye show over drakes any day but he's gotta cut the rants, they're annoying and deserve the boos

Lennon didn't go out of his way to be a asshole like Kim Kardashian's husband.

 

[Courage]

"We want Drake?"

These motherfuckas got Yeezus Christ himself and want Drake?

 

[Kusagari]

Kanye wins by default.

Seriously chanting "we want Drake"? I'd rather listen to Kanye rant any day.

 

[nvrndr]

I feel bad for those people who are actually serious about wanting to see Drake over our almighty Yeezus.

John Lennon tended not to rant about leather sweatpants.

 

[J10]

Chanting for Drake over Kanye is like asking to be punched in the balls instead of kicked in the balls.

 

[Acorn]

Is he still not saying Jiggas name in Blood on the leaves and Cold?

 

[Grizzlyjin]

He should have appealed to their hearts. Admitting he was arrogant and shy would have gone a long way to calm them down. Maybe next time he'll go that route.

 

[solarus]

There really wasn't much booing at friday's wireless festival in london, i couldnt hear any, it must have been just some people, idk about saturday though. I saw kanye today in birmingham at wireless, his speech was great and the love he shows his fans is amazing. The crowd fucking loved him, best live performance I've ever seen.

media does deform everything.
people in that clip look like they have an awesome time, whish I was there

 

[FairXchange]

I'm in favour of Kanye expressing himself exactly as he sees fit. He performs the music, he does it with passion and with creativity, so why do people make a big deal about his 'rants'? Some of my friends wait for the big rant to happen whenever they see Kanye live, the look forward to it. I somehow get the impression the media like to report problems about the rants, rather than it actually upsetting concert goers.

 

[Dies Iræ]

Yeah, John Lennon just beat his wife and called her a chink back stage. Certainly a lesser crime compared to Kim Kardashian's husband. In 20 years, all that will matter is Kanye's musical talents. That's all anyone will talk about.

 

[Dabanton]

I feel bad for those people who are actually serious about wanting to see Drake over our almighty Yeezus.

There were a lot of chicks there. No surprise they wanted Drake.

 

[Gorillaz]

Was he doing one of those bullshit rants again?

It doesn't matter they are all heathens for this

 

[solarus]

Media twist everything, he mentioned that firsthand today at Birmingham too regarding these articles. They are blown way out of proportion and sensationalised. The crowd LOVED Ye.

 

[GQman2121]

What's the significance of the bolding of "Kim Kardashian's husband" in the OP?


I don't give a shit about his personal life. His last album was excellent, so I hope he continues to make interesting music.

[number11]

I was at both London events, and the reports about the booing is pretty exaggerated. There may have been a couple people booing during the rant.. but for the most part, the majority were fully into the entire gig.

Also, to provide context about the random Drake chants (which the article seems to ignore). Drake was meant to headline the Saturday date over Kanye but dropped out.

 

[Dragun619]

Man, wtf? Drake over Kanye? smh.

 

[solarus]

I should post the full video I recorded of kanye's third "rant" tonight at birmingham, the reporting is all bullshit. I love how much appreciation kanye showed for his fans tonight.

 

[trixx]

Drake over Kanye? Drake isn't bad but wouldn't mind seeing a Kanye performance.

 

[Acorn]

Pointing out the idiocy of media defining him by his marriage when he is famous for his music I guess.

 

[Elwood Blues]

This killed me:

"I'm very shy in real life," he later told the crowd which again prompted another round of boos.

 

[Loakum]

Just shows you how classless a society we've become. There are a lot people there, who paid good money to hear both performers! but some typical self-entitled a-holes wanted to ruin the show, by trolling Kanye, to make them feel better about themselves. Pathetic!
