Kanye West Accuses Artists Of Stealing His 'Saint Pablo Tour' Stage Design

Kanye West will have absolutely no one steal or mirror his work, at least without calling them out in front of thousands of folks in concert. Apparently, that's what has been going on when it comes to the stage design for his current "Saint Pablo Tour" and the hip-hop heavyweight is not happy about it whatsoever. 

During the Saturday (October 15) run of his show in Edmonton, 'Ye took a few moments to call out some unnamed artists for copying the trek's elevated stage. "This the original. Accept no imitations," he barked at the crowd, before emphasizing that they were in the presence of a rap God. "Ni**as be copying my sh*t, bro. Stealin' our sh*t, stealin' stages. Copying our sh*t one-to-one."

We have no idea who is ripping off the rapper's ideas, but using an elevated stage that's surrounded by mosh-ready standing room seating and atmospheric fog surely is something we can't recall from other shows, so we're going to side with 'Ye here. Keep it original, folks.
