Kanye West refused to continue his show on Friday night in Sydney, Australia until the entire audience was standing and dancing in physical Yeezus worship. Unfortunately for Kanye’s self-esteem, one of the audience members had a prosthetic leg and another was wheel-chair bound.
One concertgoer told the Daily Mail that he addressed the crowd saying “I can’t do this show until everybody stand up. Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and s**t.” The former fan waved her leg in the air and Kanye so kindly continued the show, stopping again when he saw there remained a single seated fan.
According to the tabloid, he then halted performance of “Good Life,” saying “‘This is the longest I’ve had to wait to do a song, it’s unbelievable,” before sending over a body guard to check that the fan was, in fact, an individual who gets “special parking and s**t:”
‘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.
As poor Kanye and the reincarnated Steve Jobs and anthropomorphic blowfish inside him grappled with the idea that being differently abled also means you are differently able to celebrate Kanye, perhaps he was trying to use his energy to cure the man. Then, on top of realizing that those who are in wheelchairs cannot stand even in honor of the greatest rapper of all time, Kanye was also forced to come to terms with the reality that he is not literally Jesus. Surely, Joe Biden would understand this struggle.
