Jesus and Yeezus both asked a man who could not walk to stand up; only the former’s request was granted. Last night in Melbourne, Kanye West stopped a performance to demand that the entire audience stand up.
According to the Daily Mail, Kanye announced: “I can’t do this song…until everybody stand up. Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and s–t.. ‘Imma see you if you ain’t standing up, believe me, I’m very good at that.’
You hit the nail on the head, dude. One audience member had to wave his prosthetic limb before Kanye told him “‘Okay, you fine!”
However, a second audience member continued to draw Kanye’s ire when he didn’t stand up, causing the rapper to remark, “This is the longest I’ve had to wait to do a song, it’s unbelievable.”
The Daily Mail corroborate several fans reports that the crowd yelled that the fan was in a wheelchair, while others even made “wheelchair motions” to let ‘Ye know the situation.
Never one to take wheelchair motions at face value, Kanye asked his bodyguard Pascal Duvier to enter the arena and check on the fan. He only continued the show after Duvier confirmed that the man was in fact wheelchair-bound.
With “Draking” running rampant in Toronto, this may be the biggest week ever for stories involving rappers and wheelchairs. We eagerly await Joe Biden’s input.
