Kanye West Demands Wheelchair-Bound Audience Member Stand Up
 


 The Huffington Post    | By  Lauren Duca   
 
 
Kanye West refused to continue his show on Friday night in Sydney, Australia until the entire audience was standing and dancing in physical Yeezus worship. Unfortunately for Kanye's self-esteem, one of the audience members had a prosthetic leg and another was wheel-chair bound.

One concertgoer told the Daily Mail that he addressed the crowd saying "I can't do this show until everybody stand up. Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and s**t." The fan waved her leg in the air and Kanye so kindly continued the show, stopping again when he saw there remained a single seated fan.

According to the tabloid, he then halted performance of "Good Life," saying "'This is the longest I've had to wait to do a song, it's unbelievable," before sending over a body guard to check that the fan was differently abled.


'The crowd was also yelling that he was in a wheelchair but he waited for Pascal's confirmation,' the witness said, while others said the crowd made 'wheelchair motions' to alert the singer to his mistake.

'When he sent Pascal up there he said, 'He is in a wheelchair? It's fine!' the witness reported.



Cringe over the whole thing below:

Why didn't he just go ahead and shine a spotlight on the person - make guards get his ID and broadcast that to the audience?   Maybe they could have showed his face on the big giant TV screen too!

Creepy.

Who does he think he is? Joe Biden?
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

You misspelled 'a$$hole'.

Nah. A$$holes at least have some use.
