Yeezus: Kanye West Humiliates Handicapped Audience Member During Concert
On Friday, during his Yeezus concert in Australia, Kanye West stopped his performance when some of his handicapped fans did not obey the rapper's demand for everyone to stand up in the audience, RadarOnline reports.
"I can't do this show until everybody stands up," West yelled out into the audience. "Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and sh*t. Imma see you if you ain't standing up, believe me, I'm very good at that."
It wasn't until one fan held up his prosthetic limb that Kanye responded "fine" and continued on with his performance.
However, West stopped the show a second time before performing "Good Life" when two fans did not get up per his request.
"This is the longest I've had to wait to do a song, it's unbelievable," West told the crowd as he sent his bodyguards into the audience to check if the two fans sitting down were actually handicapped.
Once his bodyguards verified that the fans were in fact disabled, West then proceeded with his song.
Check out the cringe worthy video obtained by TMZ below.
Naturally, social media users slammed West for his insensitive demand and for publicly humiliating his fans.
@irenebremis13 wrote on Twitter, "Showing up to a concert in a wheelchair & a prosthetic leg is commitment ENOUGH. #kanyewest #AHOLE!!!"
Another Twitter user @guitarpianodude wrote, "You want to know what's wrong with society? We make egotistical morons our heroes. #kanyewest"
So far, neither Kanye West nor his wife Kim Kardashian has responded to the social media backlash towards West's insensitive demands.
Instead, Kim Kardashian has continued to post Instagram photos of herself posing backstage during the Yeezus tour.
"Devil in a new dress," she captioned her latest Instagram photo.
"#YeezusGroupie," she captioned another photo.
