It seems that the controversy surrounding the Yeezus Tour Kanye West has been blown out of proportion.
Recently, there have been reports that West participated in a charity basketball game for handicapped children in wheelchairs; this was considered to be a PR stunt in relation to the recent incident that took place in his Sydney concert.
As Daily Currant reported:
"The Basketball Wheelchair Charity for Cancer event pitted disabled middle school children against Kanye and his entourage. Kanye's team seemed hesitant to plasy as hard since they were not also in wheelchairs as originally planned."
However, what seemed to be a move to improve the public's opinion about his recent controversy, turned out to be the exact opposite, as the rapper scored 106 points against the charity team.
After thorough research, it was confirmed that this story is false, as the website published satire news, this time focusing on Yeezus tour Kanye West.
As previously reported, Kanye West has been involved in yet another controversy involving him and his ego while he was at his concert in Sydney.
During his performance, West took a pause to ask all the audience members to get up on their feet, otherwise, he won't continue with his show.
"I've decided, I can't do this song, I can't do the rest of this show until everybody stands up," The rapper said, "No, seriously -- I won't go on with the show unless y'all stand up," he added. After which he saw two audience member who weren't on their feet, to which he said: "This was the longest I've had to wait to do a song. It's unbelievable."
According to CNN, that sourced the following information from 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.'"
