Last Friday, Kanye West called out two fans in his Sydney concert for not standing up. One had a prosthetic limb, while the other one was in a wheelchair.

The said concert was held at the Qantas Credit Union Arena.

He was said to have halted the concert due to the two not standing up to honor him.

"I can't do this song. I can't do this show until everybody stand up... Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and shit. 'Imma see you if you ain't standing up, believe me, I'm very good at that," he first said.

Most of his fans stood up and danced, but soon, the rapper spotted two of the concertgoers who remained in their seats. 

A woman who had the prosthetic limb was told by West "Okay, you fine" after he saw her handicap.
He then proceeded to focus on the fan in the wheelchair. West stopped singing "The Good Life" and said

"This is the longest I've had to wait to do a song, it's unbelievable." 

The crowd tried to let him know that the fan was handicapped by signaling that the said fan is in a wheelchair.

The rapper didn't get the hint and proceeded to tell his muscled bodyguard Pascal Duvier to go to the crowd and pick the fan up. 

It was only when Duvier confirmed that the fan was indeed in a wheelchair that West said "He is in a wheelchair? It's fine!" 

Several fans took to social media to rant about the artist's actions, with one user posting "i know Kanye west likes to think he's Jesus, but telling a wheelchair bound kid to stand up and dance won't help him."

Yet another user tweeted, making fun of West, ""WE JUST WAITING ON THEM TWO PEOPLE TO STAND UP,  Oh.... they ARE in a wheelchair?? PLAY THE SONG" Lol #YEEZUS"
