Kanye West launched an expletive-filled tirade against a fan during his performance in Paris at the weekend.

The "All Of The Lights" hitmaker was furious when an audience member shone a laser pen in his direction at the show in France, causing the star - who was performing as part of he and Jay-Z's Watch The Throne world tour - ordered the man to "chill the f**k out" or be thrown out of the venue.

"You see this guy right here with the green laser? Don't f**k with everybody's show. This is not a f**king game. You're going to get f**ked up and kicked out, I don't want that s**t. So chill the f**k out," he said.

Following his rant, Kanye attempted to get the show back on track: "Are y'all having a good time this evening? I said, are y'all having a good time this evening?"

The gig was shrouded in further controversy because of a Tweet sent by Jay-Z's friend Gwyneth Paltrow.

Alongside a picture from the gig, she wrote, "N***as in Paris for real @mrteriusnash tyty, beehigh (sic)." However, she later sought to defend herself, insisting she was referring to the track "N****s in Paris." She wrote, "Hold up. It's the title of the song!"
