Kanye West Tells Concertgoer in Wheelchair to Stand Up

Geez, what’s next? Refusing to continue your show until Stevie Wonder makes his way onto the stage and tells you what he sees?

According to Huffington Post, Kanye West performed in Sydney, Australia Friday night and refused to continue his show until everyone at the concert was standing, including a woman with a prosthetic leg and a man in a wheelchair.

“I can’t do this show until everybody stand up. Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and shit,” West told the crowd at the Qantas Credit Union Arena.

West continued to stand on stage and heckle the two concertgoers who weren’t standing up until the woman with the fake leg stood and held it in the air (pictured left) while a bodyguard made his way through the crowd to make sure the guy who wasn’t standing was indeed in a wheelchair.

One witness said that even though the crowd was making wheelchair motions and yelling that the man was in a wheelchair, West didn’t start his performance of “Good Life” until his bodyguard gave him the thumbs up.



“This is the longest I’ve had to wait to do a song,” West told the crowd. “It’s unbelievable.”

In fact, it’s almost as unbelievable as inciting a crowd to chant “stand up” to a guy in a wheelchair.
