Kanye West Orders Paraplegic to Stand


Friday night Kanye West stopped his show in Sydney, Australia after he spotted a concert goer sitting in his seat, insisting he wouldn't go on until the fan was on his feet.

Turns out the guy was paraplegic...

From The Daily Mail
An eyewitness told Daily Mail Australia Kanye had refused to perform until the crowd were on their feet, saying, 'I can't do this song, I can't do this show until everybody stand up.
'Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and s**t.
'Imma see you if you ain't standing up, believe me, I'm very good at that.'
When the musician saw a concertgoer waving a prosthetic limb to explain why they weren't dancing, he acknowledged them, saying: 'Okay, you fine!'
But when another fan remained seated, he stopped the song Good Life, saying, 'This is the longest I've had to wait to do a song, it's unbelievable,' before sending bodyguard Pascal Duvier into the arena to check whether the person was in fact in a wheelchair- which they were.
'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.
Other witnesses wrote, 'Kanye made everyone stand up.... Berated a dude for not standing up... Stopped the whole show... Turns out the dude was in a wheelchair.'
