Scott adds: "Come here, b***h. You tried to take my shoe. You want to be a thief."

The fan is pulled out of the crowd by security as others appear to hit him.

Scott then appears to spit on the young man as he encourages the crowd to boo him.

ASTROWORLD TRAGEDY

The footage was widely re-shared on Monday after eight people died during Scott's set at Astroworld in Houston on Friday.

Online, Twitter user commented Scott was able to stop the gig because of his shoe after he faced criticism over his response to the tragedy.

Another added: "He literally stopped a whole a** concert because someone took a SHOE.

"He can stop a concert when people are being STOMPED and SUFFOCATED to DEATH."

On Monday it emerged that Scott played for more than 30 minutes after his Astroworld festival was declared a mass casualty incident.
