Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West has some explaining to do after reportedly singling out handicap fans during a Yeezus tour stop this week.
According to reports, Ye’s latest incident went down last night (September 12) in Australia.
He came under fire for demanding fans at his Melbourne show on Wednesday stand up ‘unless y’all sitting down because y’all handicapped.’ But during the Yeezus tour in Sydney on Friday night, rapper Kanye West went a step further, stopping the whole show at Qantas Credit Union Arena when two seated fans wouldn’t get to their feet – because they were in wheelchairs. Fans at the performance confirmed the incident to Daily Mail Australia on Saturday after a series of Tweets about the moment flooded social media, with one saying ‘He wanted the crowd to stand up and couldn’t see why they were seated.

Kanye went the extra mile with this absurd decision…
Mr. West relied on his team to make sure one of the fans did, indeed, have a disability and could not stand up.
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. (MTV)
West spent a short stint receiving medical attention on Wednesday (September 10).
Yeezus and his entourage rushed to the emergency room Wednesday in Melbourne after playing basketball.
Sources tell us Kanye had a pretty intense migraine. He was released later that afternoon after doctors checked him out and determined it wasn’t serious.
The Australian media is claiming Kanye suffered seizure like symptoms … but we’re told it’s not true. (TMZ)
A few days ago, reports claimed Ye’s wife Kim Kardashian would head overseas to support his international tour.
The 33-year-old reality star is spending time in Australia with her 1-year-old daughter North West in support of rapper hubby Kanye West’s tour dates in the country from through Sept. 15. The doting wife and mother will also being doing some work of her own as she has a scheduled appearance in Sydney on Sept. 13. Kardashian was spotted in the stands at Ye’s concert Friday evening cheering him on. (NY Daily News)
