Kanye West was booed by festival-goers on Friday night after he launched into an extraordinary '20-minute rant' in the middle of his Wireless set.
The Yeezus rapper caused confusion when he paused his performance at the London music event, held at Finsbury Park, to preach to the crowd about discrimination within the fashion industry.
Wearing a bejewelled mask over his face, Kanye, 37, told the audience: 'I'm not going to mention any names but... Nike, Louis Vuitton and Gucci. Don't discriminate against me 'cos I'm a black man making music.
F**k saving face and what it's supposed to mean, it's about living my dream.'
And it would seem the move didn't go down too well with the crowd, with audience members reportedly deserting the al fresco gig in droves.
One festival-goer told MailOnline: 'He was laying into the 'machine' and ranting about the public's perception of him. Hundreds of people left the park early because they were so bored of his long rant.
'There was serious booing towards the end of the speech, as people got so fed up and just wanted to hear him perform.'
