At a concert on Friday in Sydney, Australia, the acclaimed rapper called out a pair of fans for not standing up at the show. One had a prosthetic limb, and the other was in a wheelchair.

West spotted a pair of concertgoers who’d remained in their seats, and refused to continue the show until they stood up and danced like the rest. One of those two singled-out fans raised a prosthetic limb, thereby proving that she did in fact “get special parking and shit,” to which West replied, “Okay, you fine.”

West then homed in on Fan No. 2, who was still seated. He stopped performing the tune “The Good Life” and declared, “This is the longest I’ve had to wait to do a song, it’s unbelievable.” The crowd was reportedly trying to clue Kanye in to his epic blunder, with the entire section making wheelchair signals with their arms. But to no avail. West sent his bulky bodyguard Pascal Duvier into the crowd to confirm that the seated fan was, in fact, in a wheelchair. When it was confirmed, West said, “He is in a wheelchair? It’s fine!”

what a dipshit

if he is the true son why couldnt he heal them

 

[Gordon Shumway]

He's so lovely..

 

[diaspora]

“Okay, you fine.”

=I

 

[jamesinclair]

In the US he could be sued for this, and he'd lose. I wonder if that's true in Australia.

 

[Servbot24]

Kanye West hates handicapped people! :O

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

This is too good to be true.

 

[YoungFa]

Bwahaha. That is some parody level shit.

 

[Phat Michael]

Sounds like a good bloke. There was a story about when he played a show in Perth and kicked everyone out of a gym so he could play basketball. The story focused on how massive his tits were.

 

[spindashing]

what a dipshit

He's not the son, he's the

Spoiler

god.

 

[HUELEN10]

Yeezus? Jesus Christ...

 

[Servbot24]

In the US he could be sued for this, and he'd lose. I wonder if that's true in Australia.

For what? Not noticing someone is handicapped?

I mean yeah he's self-absorbed but we all knew this.

 

[Arksy]

No.

 

[strafer]

How big is this mans ego?

 

[Kinyou]

I think Kanye just jumped the shark

 

[soundscream]

I would never want to interact with him in my life.........but damn if he doesn't crack me the fuck up with his antics.

Praise Yeezus!

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

But wouldn't Yeezus sense that they were handicapped, because afterall, he is YEEZUS?

 

[reggie186]

with the entire section making wheelchair signals with their arms.

That sounds pretty great.

 

[Mighty Chin]

Kanye keep on being Kanye. He fucking Sucks.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Didn't know he was in a wheelchair

Found out he was in a wheelchair

Continued the concert

But of course GAF will eat this shit up.

 

[Slayer-33]

Jesus Christ Kanye lol..

 

[mohsinkhan]

The audience is full of dumbasses too, who starts chanting stand up?

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

This shit is too funny. Talk about how the great have fallen.

 

[Servbot24]

Didn't know he was in a wheelchair

Found out he was in a wheelchair

Continued the concert

But of course GAF will eat this shit up.

For real though. GAF getting wasted on that tabloid juice.

ADA law makes it illegal for you to demand proof of disability when providing a service to someone with special needs.

 

[Darklord]

Apparently someone there said this is what happened:

Guys it wasn't even bad, it was pretty funny actually. He was just like 'oh you're in a wheelchair?' and everyone over that side was like 'yeah!' and he's like 'ok were fine then' and went straight into the next song.

 

[pants]

What a fucking moron

 

[Talon]

Ah hahaha, oh Kanye.

You are a complete ass. But I still love your music.

 

[terribletwo]

That sounds pretty great.

i mean... he probably thought they were doing the cat daddy

 

[Servbot24]

ADA law makes it illegal for you to demand proof of disability when providing a service to someone with special needs.

Did he demand proof though? Sounds like he just didn't know what was going on at all.

 

[NomarTyme]

His ego is out of fucking control.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Apparently someone there said this is what happened:

Didn't know he was in a wheelchair

This.

I acknowledge that there is a big cult-like obsession with Kanye, and I love him too, but it is funny that the hate bandwagon for him is also so strong. People go out of there way to dissect every mistake he does in order to insult him and feel better.

Literally nothing happens in this incident. He makes a mistake, and then continues the concert. Lmao

 

[Lkr]

jesus christ people take everything so seriously when kanye does it.

According to the report, members of the audience said it was probably a joke.

http://pitchfork.com/news/56693-kan...ated-fan-proves-hes-actually-in-a-wheelchair/

he's just having fun during a performance. people are acting like he killed a kid in a wheelchair or something

 

[block tower]

 

[santi_yo]

He's still trying to understand what happened.

 

[nailbombxx]

What a piece of trash.

 

[- J - D -]

It's so sad that his ego needs validation so small. One or two people aren't dancing? STOP THE SHOW.

 

[Servbot24]

He's still trying to understand what happened.

I'm still trying to understand how that South Park bit was supposed to be funny.

Like I seriously need someone to explain it to me, it makes no sense

 

[genjiZERO]

Didn't know he was in a wheelchair

Found out he was in a wheelchair

Continued the concert

But of course GAF will eat this shit up.

It's a fucking horrible thing to do regardless.

 

[Cuphead]

Praise Yeezus!

Our lord and Savior bless.

 

[depths20XX]

The douchey part is that they tell him they're in a wheelchair and instead of just believing them and continuing the show, he sends his security in to confirm it.

That's a douche.

 

[Kinyou]

jesus christ people take everything so seriously when kanye does it.

He had a bodyguard check if there really was a wheelchair, I mean, come on.

 

[Zantetsuken]

I could see if he knew before hand but he didnt. I still kike Kanye's assholian nature.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Didn't know he was in a wheelchair

To be fair, people that paid for the show are fans who are probably of the mindset that everything that Kanye shits is gold

 

[CountBlack]

he made Jesus Walks

JESUS FUCKIN WALKS.

I DON'T WANT NONE OF YALL BASIC NINJAS JUDGING HIM.

Spoiler

if kanye touched that dudes leg he woulda been healed tho

 

[Cheddahz]

Kanye could had use his bending skills to heal the legs

 

[Servbot24]

Kanye could had use his bending skills to heal the legs

Ye needing that workout plan though

 

[Tamanon]

I'm still trying to understand how that South Park bit was supposed to be funny.

Like I seriously need someone to explain it to me, it makes no sense

"Do you like Fishsticks?"
"You must be a gay fish"

It sounds like fish dicks.

 

[Lkr]

He had a bodyguard check if there really was a wheelchair, I mean, come on.

do you really think he was mocking them? he said everybody stand up unless you are in a wheelchair. he is giving a show, it is his job to get the crowd into it. someone isn't standing up, turns out he is actually in a wheelchair. you notice how the tabloids are creating the drama and the person in the wheelchair hasn't bitched? he is having fun with his fans at a concert ffs
