During Kanye West's set at the Glastonbury Festival in Worthy Farm, England, on Saturday a man rushed the stage and began mocking the rapper.

The man -- since revealed as English comedian Simon Brodkin, who performs as the character Lee Nelson -- came onstage during West's performance of "Black Skinhead."

West continued rapping briefly, then stopped, throwing his hands in the air, as a security guard removed Brodkin. West then started the song all over again.

Brodkin, as Nelson, tweeted about why he interrupted the performance, saying that it was in response to festival goers' petition to remove West from the lineup. He also boasted that he had "Kanyed Kanye," an apparent reference to the rapper's now infamous tendency to interrupt other performers on stage at top music industry events.

The petition, signed by almost 135,000 people, requested that West be replaced by a rock band.

Back in September 2009, Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift as she accepted an award in the Best Female Video category for "You Belong With Me" at the Video Music Awards, which beat out Beyoncé's Single Ladies.

Then again in February 2015, the star crashed Beck's celebrations to make a point about giving his Grammy to Beyonce.
