A Drake fan was left furious after she spent a whopping $700 on tickets to see the rapper performing live only to have her view blocked by a huge yellow sign.

The outraged gig goer decided to take matters into her own hands when she found that another fan of the chart-topping star a couple of rows in front of her was obstructing what she could see with the homemade banner. She was caught on camera reaching forwards to rip the sign from the other audience member's hands and throwing it away.

The mystery woman was then seen getting back to enjoying herself with a new clear view of her hero - while the sign holder appeared to be a little confused about what had happened. The video has since gone viral on TikTok with the caption "not on my watch" written across it.

The clip also states that the woman had paid $700 for her seats so her reaction is perhaps a little more understandable as was discussed in the comments section. One user wrote: "That’s so mean but cheers to everyone who know proper concert etiquette!!"

Another said: "That was satisfying." A third added: "Good job! Some people are so INCONSIDERATE." A fourth social media user posted: "There's no excuse for stopping other people seeing what they have paid for so you can attention seek. Good for her." A fifth agreed: "Maybe it's harsh but also who cares I'd do the same I want to see the concert not your sign."

Drake recently sparked anger from Hollywood star Halle Berry when he used an image of her to promote his latest single without her permission. She was left fuming after the chart-topping rapper opted to make the artwork for Slime You Out an image of her covered in gunk. The song dropped earlier this month and was an immediate hit with Drake's fans but it didn't take long for Halle to upload a rather cryptic post on Instagram.

The post - a pink background with white writing - read: "Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy... even if you're a woman!" fans then rushed to comment on the upload with one asking Halle what she thought about Drake using the picture of her from the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards when she famously had green gunk dumped on her in her seat.

A close up shot of that moment is what Drake has chosen to use to promote the song on social media, with a separate image of a childlike drawing of a form of horned cattle with red eyes - drawn by a young fan for his album cover - used as the official audio artwork on streaming services. Halle's response to the question confirmed that the seemingly indirect post had a very definite person in mind.

She replied: "Didn't get my permission. That's not cool I thought better of him!" She then replied to a second follower adding: "Hence my post today. When people you admire disappoint you you have to be the bigger person and move on!" Halle made several other comments on the post regarding the issue including how it was "about principles and integrity. so happy many of you get that."
