Kanye West stormed off stage after 30 minutes in Sacramento, California on Saturday after one of his biggest rants yet. 

He only performed a few songs before going on an extended rant where he threw shade at Beyonce, Jay Z, Hillary Clinton, Facebook and the radio industry before he left the stage. 

He said: "Beyonce I was hurt, I went down for seven years on your behalf. I put my career, my life, my public well-standing at risk. This is a moment in the matrix.

"I heard you said you wouldn't perform unless you won Video of the Year over me and over Hotline Bling.

"In my opinion, now 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.

"F*** winning, f*** looking cool, f*** being cool.

"At the risk of my own success. I've been sent here, at the risk of my own life, at the risk of my own career, to give ya'll the truth.

"Jay Z, call me. I know you got killas. Please don't send them at my head. Just call me - talk to me like a man."

Fans were already pissed that Kanye was an hour and a half late to the stage. His rant and decision to cut the gig short definitely didn't do him any favours.
