A prankster pulled a Kanye West during Kanye West's headlining set at Glastonbury on Saturday night, June 27. The prankster, comedian Simon Brodkin who's best known as Lee Nelson, disrupted the rapper's show when he unexpectedly jumped onstage mid-song.
Nelson, clad in a Lee-zus T-shirt and carrying his own mic, ran onto the stage while 'Ye was performing "Black Skinhead". He rapped alongside the star before a security guard arrived and forcefully removed him from the stage. West ended up restarting the song.
Following the incident, Nelson took to Twitter to explain the stunt and dedicated it to Taylor Swift, whose acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV VMAs was famously interrupted by West. "I Kanye'd Kanye. That was for you @taylorswift13 #Leezus," he wrote.

In addition to performing his own hits, he covered the first verse of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and brought out Bon Iver's Justin Vernon to the stage to help him perform "Lost in the World" from 2010's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy".
