Has Kanye West officially lost it?

It seems like the rapper has a lot on his mind that he wants to share and he did just that Saturday night during the Sacramento stop of his Saint Pablo tour. Before cutting his show short, he had words for an unexpected target: Beyoncé. 

“Beyoncé, I was hurt,” he started, “because I heard that you said you wouldn’t perform unless you won Video of the Year over me and ‘Hotline Bling,'” he said.

“Now, don’t go dissing Beyoncé,” he said, making sure to add he thought she was great. “But sometimes we be playing the politics too much and forget who we are just to win.” 

He also asked Jay-Z to call him and talk to him “like a man,” adding that he knew the rap mogul had “killers.”

“Please don’t send them at my head,” he said.

Of course, the Beyhive is having none of this and Kanye’s mentions are in shambles.

But he has bigger problems with his own fans after ending the Sacramento show early. He only performed for about a half-hour total. Once fans realized he was done, they started chanting “F*** you, Kanye.”

Kanye is already playing with fire. The crowd in his San Jose show Thursday booed him for claiming he would have voted for Trump if he did vote.

Jesus take the wheel.
