Many music fans were adamant that rap superstar Kanye West not be allowed to headline Glastonbury
More than 15,000 people signed a petition to have Kanye West‘s set axed as the headliner for Glastonbury Festival. The anti-Kanye petition proved futile and British funny man Lee Nelson took justice into his own hands by interrupting The Grammy winner’s performance of “Black Skinhead”.
Armed with a “Lee-Zus” emblazoned t-shirt and a working microphone, Nelson bopped his way across the stage. His stage rushing moment only lasted a few seconds before West’s security pulled Nelson, real name Simon Brodkin, off the stage.
The British comic claimed to have “Kanye’d Kanye” when owning up to the stunt, which calls to mind the countless instances Kanye has bumrushed other celebrities’ on stage, most memorably Taylor Swift.
Nelson posted on Twitter,
Some people were saying Kanye shouldn’t headline Glastonbury so I decided to give him a hand. I Kanye’d Kanye. That was for you @taylorswift13.”
This isn’t the first time Lee Nelson has pulled mess like this. He also photo bombed England’s soccer team right before their World Cup appearance last year.
