Kanye West has been slammed for his insensitive quip at two disabled fans during his Yeezus Tour in Sydney.
The 37-year-old rapper, who stopped performing his 'Good Life' song until everyone was on their feet to dance, told the crowd that he was good at making people "stand up" unless they "got handicap pass, special parking and s***," the Daily Star reported.
The 'Gold Digger' singer said "OK! You fine!" to one disabled fan, who took a moment to wave her prosthetic leg at the rapper.
West then sent his personal bodyguard to check if another disabled fan, who also refused to dance, was really in wheelchair or not.
One online user took it to his twitter account to write that "Kanye made everyone stand up.... Bereted (sic) a dude for not standing up... Stopped the whole show... Turns out the dude was in a wheelchair.
