Kanye West's Friday concert in Sydney is making headlines for the wrong reasons after the rapper repeatedly demanded two fans stand up before realising that one was in a wheelchair and the other had a prosthetic limb.
Between songs West says, "I decided I can't do this song, I can't do the rest of the show unless everybody stands up.
"Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and s**t.
"And imma see you if you ain’t standing up, believe me, I’m very good at that."
In a video posted on YouTube, the crowd at Qantas Credit Union Arena in Sydney can be heard jeering at the "two people who don't want to stand up", as West tells them, and chanting "Stand up!"

As the wait goes on West says, "this is the longest I’ve had to wait to do a song, it’s unbelievable," before offering, "if he is in a wheelchair, then it's fine."
