West was met with growing boos as he complained about the treatment of himself and wife Kim Kardashian, and also singled out Louis Vuitton and Nike for trying to stop him from "living [his] dream".
"The first thing they do is crush you… They control you with lies," he sang repeatedly before beginning his off-the-cuff remarks.
"How many people have had people tell you that you aren't ******in' awesome?" West then asked those in the crowd, who responded with boos.
He responding to the jeering by saying: "This is what I'm talking about…. They say, 'I don't know what's wrong with Kanye' and make it sound like I'm a bad person in some way. What have I ever done that was so wrong other than believe in myself?"
West went on to say that he has been the victim of "dehumanisation" from his critics, with jeers increasing.
"I'm not going to mention any names but... Nike, Louis Vuitton and Gucci. Don't discriminate against me because I'm a black man making music," he later charged.
"****** saving face and what it's supposed to mean, it's about living my dream."
West is also scheduled to headline the second night of the London festival tonight (July 5), before closing the Birmingham show on Sunday (July 6).
