Kanye West seems to be involved in yet another controversy involving him and his ego while he was at his concert in Sydney.
According to CNN,
"While performing in Sydney on Friday, West paused his performance to request that all audience members stand before he went on with the show. It's not unusual for an artist to ask the audience to physically participate, but West's insistence at his concert Friday led to a very uncomfortable moment.
'I've decided, I can't do this song, I can't do the rest of this show until everybody stands up,' West said, adding an exception for those with handicaps. 'No, seriously -- I won't go on with the show unless y'all stand up.'
When he spotted two people who still weren't standing, West initially griped, 'This was the longest I've had to wait to do a song. It's unbelievable.'
According to The Hollywood Reporter, one of those individuals had a prosthetic limb, and another was in a wheelchair.
After sending someone over to investigate why the two concertgoers weren't standing, West quickly clarified that 'if you're using a wheelchair, then it's fine. ... Only if he's in a wheelchair.'
Once he'd confirmed that those not standing really couldn't, West continued with his show.
The stunt was met with an immediate backlash on Twitter. According to the Daily Mail, it wasn't the first time West has been criticized for making that kind of demand.
Kanye West says he's not apologizing for refusing to perform until a wheelchair-bound concertgoer stood up this weekend during his concert ... because the rapper believes HE was the victim."
In typical Kanye fashion, fans expected the rapper's reaction after the backlash, adding that his ego is definitely the character in the situation.
According to TMZ,
"Yeezus attempted to explain himself during one of his signature rants Sunday night in Brisbane, Australia ... but instead, he started attacking Matt Lauer.
Kanye says people need to lay off of him ... because he's a 'married, Christian man.'"
