Kanye picks on fan. It gets awkward. (Picture: PA)

Kanye West called a halt to his concert in Sydney when he saw an audience member was not on his feet dancing to the music. Then he realised the fan was in a wheelchair.

Two life lessons we’re taught when we’re young – always wear clean underwear, and think before you speak.

Only Kim K knows if he abides by the former, but Kanye West definitely does not go by the latter.

At his recent concert in Sydney for the Yeezus tour, the rapper allegedly caused a major kafuffle by calling a stop to proceedings because he saw that a couple of crowd members were not dancing along with the rest of them.




He yelled to the audience: ‘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.’

He then spotted two fans not enjoying the music as they should, and refused to continue until they got up and boogied.

Embarrassingly for the star, the people he’d picked on had good reasons not to be bopping along – one waved their prosthetic limb in explanation, to which Kim Kardashian’s hubby gave a swift: ‘Okay, you fine.’

But gunning for the other audience member, the star went on to say: ‘This is the longest I’ve had to wait to do a song, it’s unbelievable,’ according to the MailOnline.

A concert goer tweeted that it was an awkward three minutes:

Despite the crowd trying to alert Kanye to his mistake, he sent his body guard to double check the fan was indeed confined to a wheelchair.

On discovering that that fan too was physically impaired and unable to get on their feet as requested, Kanye said: ‘He is in a wheelchair? It’s fine!’

Unsurprisingly, fans were not amused:

i know Kanye west likes to think he's Jesus, but telling a wheelchair bound kid to stand up and dance won't help him — kimmie24 (@kimmie244) September 13, 2014

So I heard Kanye canceled his Australian show because a guy in a wheelchair didn't get up to dance? .Tell me how Kanye wants to make heaven? — The Red Army Loner.. (@Deji_Tha_Iv) September 13, 2014
