Kanye West was reportedly seen getting into a heated argument with a parent during his son's soccer game in Calabasas, Los Angeles this past weekend.

In footage obtained by TMZ, the 45-year-old controversial rapper - who is currently facing backlash for his anti-Semitic remarks - was caught appearing to be ranting with an unidentified individual while on the sideline of his six-year-old’s game.

West can be seen gesturing wildly and waving his arms in apparent frustration before he abruptly stormed off as the conversation came to an end.

The 'Heartless' rapper's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian - with whom he also shares daughters North, nine, and Chicago, four, and son Psalm, three - sat close to the exchange in a chair surrounded by security, but did not visibly react at the controversial musician.

Watch the incident below:

In the video, another woman - who appeared to be a family friend according to TMZ - approached Ye and said something that prompted him to walk away from the field.

An eyewitness told the outlet that the 'Flashing Lights' rapper left Saint's match for a few minutes to calm down before eventually returning to watch the rest of his game without any further drama.

TMZ also reported that the 42-year-old SKIMS founder did not interact with her former husband - who has made many claims about their marriage and children - during their son's game.

Saturday's eruption at the game is just the latest in a string from Ye, who has been under fire recently for comments he made last month that were deemed to be anti-Semitic by many.

On Twitter, the rapper wrote: "I'm a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I'm going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE. The funny thing is I actually can't be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also. You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda."

After facing immense backlash on the social media site, the Yeezy founder's Twitter account was suspended along with his Instagram account.

In a recent interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, West was asked by the host if he regretted his comments and he said: "No - absolutely not, absolutely not ... I fought fire with fire - I’m not here to get hosed down - that’s a different type of freedom fighter."

He later added: "I will say I'm sorry for the people that I hurt. I feel like I cause hurt and confusion, and I'm sorry for the families of the people that had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through and that I use my platform where you say, 'Hurt people hurt people,' and I was hurt."

In the wake of West’s anti-Semitism, the 'Gold Digger' rapper lost business partnerships, including GAP, Balenciaga, and Adidas, who dropped him as a partner, manufacturer, and distributor of his Yeezy shoe brand.

Before the unapologetic display of his offensive language, the rapper was slammed by online users and celebrities for his "White Lives Matter" shirt that he revealed at his Yeezy Season 9 show during Paris Fashion Week last month.
