New video emerges of Kanye trying to get disabled fans to 'stand up'
New video shows members of the crowd at Kanye West's Sydney show booed wheelchair-bound fans for not standing up in an awkward three-minute pause while the rapper refused to perform.
The performer stopped his Friday night show and berated anyone who refused to stand after demanding the crowd get on their feet "unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and s---".
"This is the longest I've had to wait to do a song. It's unbelievable," he says in the video.
"There's literally two people left who don't want to stand up."
With the house lights up and the focus of the show on the two patrons, the crowd begin to boo and shout "stand up, stand up".
The rapper’s minders went into the crowd to investigate where they discovered the thousands-strong crowd were waiting on two disabled fans.
"If he is in a wheelchair, it's fine," he says.
The rapper then repeatedly asks whether the seated audience member is in fact in a wheelchair, until his minders confirm that this is the case.
According to the Daily Mail, a woman waved her prosthesis in the air by way of explanation when Kanye questioned why she was seated earlier in the show.
The Yeezus tour has received generally good reviews.
