Patti LaBelle Goes OFF on a Fan!

Click to return to TMZ.comDon't mess around with Patti LaBelle! Patti proved that you shouldn't -- by verbally stomping all over a fan who was invited on stage during her performance!

The young man was very close to LaBelle, when she jokingly told the Kansas City audience, "He was dancing too close to me!" The fan then said, "I think you wanted it more than I did!" The audience roars with laughter, but the look on Ms. LaBelle's face shows she's not amused!

Miss LaBelle went LaBallisitic!

She tells the frightened man, "I don't play that, okay? Do you know who I am?" and reminds the fan he's not at a Lil' Kim concert! Oooh, yes she did! She then snatches the microphone and kicks him off the stage!

The audience began to tell the miffed LaBelle that he didn't mean it, and Miss L quipped, "He didn't mean it? Just like Britney Spears didn't mean it the other night!" Patti proved that she can insult as she pleases, but no one better step to her! Daaaamn, diva!

61. I mean really Patti! The young man was nervous (about being on stage) and was OBVIOUSLY being humorous. It may not have been in good taste what he said, but it certainly didn't merit her treating him like that. Patti behaved like some insecure school girl. I like Patti, but SHE was inappropriate, insensitive, and just plain-out B%itchy.

64. In our house, when we see her on TV, we call her "the Screamer!" She's always been an Aretha Wannabe!

65. Everyone has bad days..maybe this was one of hers? None the less, Patti was offensive and rude towards him. He was obviously nervous--and, maybe its just me, but he wasn't even dancing that close to her in the first place....she was obviously in a bad mood and chose to pick a fight with the most vulnerable person of all: a nervous fan.

She obviosuly had the upper hand (with it being her concert and all..) and she used that to not only shame him, but scorn him at a level WAY beyond what he deserved. What a BITCH!

66. What the younger viewers of TMZ.com are not getting is the song she is singing which makes her an even bigger fraud.

"Lady Marmalade" is a song about a New Orleans prostitute askgin menin french if they want to sleep with her.

LYRICS:

Hey Sister, Go Sister, Soul Sister, Go Sister (x2)
He met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said 'Hello,
hey Joe, you wanna give it a go?
'Mmm Hmmm Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da (?)
Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya
Here (?)
Mocca chocolata Ya Ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Stayed in her pool while
watch he crashing up
That boy drank all that night don't know why
Oh the last sight she went
he started to freak
Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da
Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Here
Mocca chocalata Ya Ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Heh, Heh, Hehhhh
Seeing her skin feeling silky smooth
Colour of cafe au lait
Made the savage beast inside
Roaring till it cried More, More, More
Now he's at home doing 9 to 5
Living his brave life of lies
But when he turns off to sleep
All memories keep More, More, More
Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da Da
Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya here
Mocca chocolata Ya Ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir?
Creole Lady Marmalade

67. HELL SHE SHOULD BE GLAD THAT SOMEONE WOULD WANT TO TOUCH HER.BESIDES SHE CALLED HIM TO THE STAGE FOR MORE ATTENTION ANY WAY.

68. Yeah, she overreacted..............apparently she's a pitcher but not a catcher when it comes to saucy remarks. She could have said something to just get him off stage. Her extended rant was not necessary.

Her diva-like behaviour is the issue here, though, not her age...so I'm not sure what the point is of all the comments about her being old. Do people plan to die young or something? Because otherwise we're all going to age.

69. The Old Whore should get some Valtrex or Vagasil for that ITCHY GITCHY!!! She is getting mean! The dude hit a soft spot for sure! Dudes dont want her for sex any more just money.... Cycho Diva Queen Princes !!

70. Hey, what would a young man know about the vapid sex drive of a post-menopausal elderly diva? How would he know that she really don't "want if more" than him if she didn't few minutes to make a fool of herself and set him straight about that?

71. If I had been the Promoter of that concert, I would have walked out and taken the microphone out of her hand and kicked her fat ass back to whereever she's from, and apologized to the audience.

72. I had to watch the video a couple of times- because my first thoughts were- what a bitch!!! "Do you know who I am" she said... she invited the guy on stage, he was playing around. Then.. she kind of redeemed herself. I didn't think, from what I saw, that he was disrespectful. She needs to lighten up!

73. I used to work at a concert hall where Patti played. We were told that she did not want anyone taking pics of her during the concert, so when we saw someone with a camera, we would tell them to put it away. During the show, she stopped singing, and told people to get out their cameras and take their photos now. "Don't be afraid of those employees", she said. I almost walked away from my job at that point. I figured, "what's the point?" She also had on a dress that was 2 sizes too small, took off her shoes, and rolled around on the stage. She was gross.

74. What a BITCH!! If I was that guy, I would have told her to go to hell. How embarrassing for that poor dude who was just trying to be funny. Like he would want a piece of that old hag. I can't believe people actually go hear her sing, yuck.

75. I'm surprised she isn't falling over with that big head of hers...She needs a reality check.
