Just days after telling fans that he would have voted for Donald Trump, Kanye West delivered another public screed Saturday night, this time about politics, the music industry, Beyoncé and Jay Z at the Sacramento, California, stop of his Saint Pablo Tour.
Captured on video by concert goers, West told the audience he was "hurt" after hearing that Beyoncé refused to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards unless she won Video of the Year over him, and he also urged her husband Jay Z to call him.
"Jay Z I know you got killers, please don't send them at my head. Talk to me like a man," said West.
West said he was putting his life and career at risk by talking to the fans in the audience "like this."
Those in attendance said on social media that West then played only a few songs before ending the concert, which began 90 minutes late.
"If your old a-- keeps following old models, your a-- is going to get Hillary Clintoned. You might not like it, but you need to hear it," said West in the meandering rant where he also declared he was "oh his Trump s--- tonight," as he bashed MTV and radio executives.
West's representative did not immediately respond to request for comment.
