'No one man should have all that power/ The clocks tickin' I just count the hours/ Stop trippin' I'm tripping off the power'

The rapper's taken to performing on a levitating stage as part of his Saint Pablo Tour, yet someone had the bright idea of trying to climb the thing during his most recent stop in Atlanta, Georgia. Grabbing hold of the bottom bar of the platform, the intrepid fan then attempted to hoist himself up and climb over the top of the platform to where Kanye was standing.
Except Kanye put a swift end to that. With one expert wave of his hand, the fan suddenly dropped down back into the crowd; in a moment that essentially played out like a low-key Avengers, with the entire audience momentarily believing that Yeezus might actually be the real thing.
Of course, no one missed the irony this all happened right in the midst of Kanye's performance of "Power"; the track with lyrics such as, "No one man should have all that power/ The clocks tickin' I just count the hours/ Stop trippin' I'm tripping off the power".
The moment was caught by 19-year-old college student Chase Brown, who told NBC; "Everyone just kind of turned and looked at each other like, 'did that really just happen?' But the show continued and not much was said about it. The overall show was great, Kanye put on a great show."
While Kanye has been busy touring, the video for his latest single "Fade" finally dropped on YouTube after its initial exclusive stream on Tidal. He's also promised fans he's working on a collaborative album with Drake, after a mysterious billboard featuring their respective music labels' logos appeared in downtown LA.
