Kanye West might revise his performance just a touch after accidentally embarrassing himself and two handicapped fans.
If you’ve seen Kanye’s Yeezus tour, then you know that right before “Blood on the Leaves” he tells the audience to dance.
In fact, he’s really adamant about fans making circles and thrashing around.
According to reports, Kanye West got caught up on the fact that two audience members within eyesight didn’t stand up for him — but they were disabled!
“I can’t do this show until everybody stand up,” he reportedly said. “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.”
When a fan held up a prosthetic limb, he said the person was “fine.”
But later, he halted his song “Good Life” when he noticed another concertgoer remained in their seat.
“This is the longest I’ve had to wait to do a song, it’s unbelievable,” he allegedly huffed before sending a bodyguard into the stands to ensure the individual was in a wheelchair.
He only continued performing when his hired help confirmed.
The egotistical star understandably upset fans with his insensitive behavior.
“Just remembered Kanye telling 2 kids in a wheelchair to stand up for an uncomfortably long amount of time,” one audience member tweeted. “That sucked.”
“Oh….they ARE in a wheelchair?? PLAY THE SONG,” posted another.
We can only imagine how embarrassed the audience members were. Hopefully Kanye did something nice for them after the show, but knowing him — probably not.
Do better, ‘Ye.
