Rihanna was pelted with food at a UK concert this week.

The singer was forced to stop her performance at the M.E.N Arena in Manchester on Tuesday evening (16.07.13) when fans began hurling crisps at her on stage in protest of her arriving an hour late.

The 25-year-old star looked furious and interrupted a rendition of 'Rude Boy' to give the crowd a piece of her mind.

She ranted: ''This is next level, there is a good crazy and there is a bad crazy, but when you throw s**t up here, that's an epic fail. I swear to God, cut that s**t out. Really? Chips? Chips, though - it's that important?''

Despite animosity from some of the concert-goers, the Bajan beauty was quick to put the incident behind her.

She shouted: ''OK Manchester, for those of you who want to [get] jiggy and have a good f***ing time, say my name!''

Her foul-mouthed rant - which was caught on camera - comes after weeks of the singer turning up late to her concerts and fans complaining of lacklustre performances during the European leg of her 'Diamonds' world tour.

The star's temper has got her in trouble in the past, notably when she knocked a female concert-goer over the head with a microphone in June because she got too close.
