Kanye West Boots Heckler From ‘Yeezus’ Concert

Kanye West has heckler escorted from Yeezus concert  Rap star Kanye West wasn’t going to put up with a female heckler at his “Yeezus” concert in San Antonio over the weekend, so he quickly kicked the young woman out of his concert with a simple hand gesture while his loyal fans cheered him on.

There isn’t a performer alive who hasn’t had to deal with hecklers and critics while they were on stage, but Kanye West isn’t about to put up with any of that during his show.

Kanye was busy going on another one of his autotuned rants, when a fan apparently began heckling him from the front row.

Instead of ignoring the woman, Kanye decided he had just about enough and had her removed from the show.

It all started when Kanye walked to the edge of the stage in his large, bulky ensemble and a blinged out mask.

Apparently the rest of Kanye’s fans heard the woman’s rude comments and encouraged the rapper to do something about it.

“Get her Kanye,” one man screams in the video, while others demand that she shuts up.

All it took was for Kanye to point at the woman and then point at the exit before his security staff swarmed in to escort the heckler out of the building.

His fans began cheering as the woman got the boot, but that’s not the end of it.

In colorful language, Kanye reminded the audience why no one should ever try to heckle him. His fans then broke into chant of their own against the heckler, and Kanye walked off the stage.

If there is anything that Kanye can’t take, it’s criticism. With that being said, the female fan should have expected only the most severe of consequences when she decided to heckle the “Bound 2” rapper.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
