Kanye West threatened to eject an entire section from his Watch the Throne concert with Jay-Z on Friday, December 16, after one member of the crowd began throwing business cards onstage.

West remained surprisingly calm after he spotted the cards being flung onstage at Washington’s Tacoma Dome, saying, “I see it come from that direction… Unless one person raises their hand and says, ‘I’m the one who did it’, all that whole section gotta go.”

He ordered the culprit to own up, otherwise he would have security kick out that entire section of the venue.

West also stressed that the stunt was dangerous, due to the fact that his set includes performing on a twenty-feet high elevating cube.

“We risking our lives up here, you can’t go throwing s**t that we gonna slip on,” he added.
