Patti LaBelle Shuts Down a Fan Who Tried to Strip Onstage: 'I Am Not Nicki Minaj'

When you're on Patti LaBelle's stage, you've got to play by her rules.

The "New Attitude" diva ripped into a fan after he started to strip onstage during her concert Friday night at the Hard Rock Casino in Vancouver.

While performing hit "Lady Marmalade," LaBelle invited several audience members onstage to dance. However, according to a video obtained by TMZ, when one man began to unbutton his shirt, the singer immediately scolded him.

"Don't you dare, not on my stage," she commanded, adding, "I am 71-years-young I am not Nicki Minaj or that little, uh, Miley."

The fan began acting coy and then struck a provocative pose, which caused LaBelle to call to have him removed.

"Get off of my goddarn stage, b----," the former Dancing with the Stars contestant yelled as he was escorted out. "And stay off. Put him out of the building. Put him out! How dare you!"

Later on during the show, LaBelle expressed embarrassment over her outburst, and apologized for using a "bad word."

"I'm so sorry," she said "I'm a Gemini and things come out of my mouth sometimes that I try to control."

Regardless, she maintained the concertgoer was "rude."

"Don't ever come in my face again," she said.
