Kanye West Addresses ‘Wheelchair’ Incident

Who says Kanye West is insensitive? He totally changed his show to incorporate those who are disabled.

This weekend, Kanye came under fire after demanding everyone in the Sydney audience of his “Yeezus” tour stand during his performance. That all sounds very Kanye-like, except, there were two wheelchair bound people in the crowd. Yikes. How he noticed two people sitting down is beyond us, but we’re sure he felt uber embarrassed when he realized why two of his fans weren’t standing.

The “Yeezus” Tour pulled in to Brisbane where Ye’ addressed the scandal.

“Everybody who is not in a wheelchair or handicapped will stand up,” he told the Brisbane audience. “If you can not prove to me that you are in a wheelchair you need to be standing, if you can it is okay to sit down.”

How sweet.
