Kanye West Doesn't Appear To Berate Fan In Wheelchair In New Video

(Radio.com) Kanye West is a special flower who keeps his Grammys in his sock drawer, uses his only phone call in jail to order Chinese takeout and pretends to be on his phone to shoo away unwanted fans at the airport. So when news broke that Kanye berated a fan in a wheelchair at a recent show in Australia for not standing up, it didn't seem too farfetched. Unfortunately, that's not exactly how the story goes.

Yes, Kanye West did stop during "The Good Life," something he's done throughout his run Down Under, to tell the crowd that the best way to enjoy his show is by standing. "I can't do this show until everybody stand up," he said. "Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and s-t."

As Consequence of Sound points out there was a bit of awkward silence, but a video from the show that has hit the internet does not feature 'Ye going after a fan in a wheelchair.

In the clip, Kanye does say, "If he's in a wheelchair, it's fine," which may or may not confirm reports that he had security guards go into the crowd and check to make sure that said sitting audience member was actually really in a wheelchair.

There is also no word yet if reports of a person in the crowd waving their prosthetic leg in the air to explain why he was sitting are in fact true. But we really hope they are.
