Kanye West stopped his concert at the Qantas Credit Union Arena in Sydney, Australia Friday (September 12) because he noticed people were not standing up.
“I decided I can’t do this song,” West said, interrupting his performance of “The Good Life.” “I can’t do the rest of this show until everybody stand up, unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and shit. And I’mma see you if you ain’t standing up. Believe me. I’m very good at that.”
West then noticed some fans who were not standing.
“Is he in a wheelchair?” West said, pointing out into the crowd.

After waiting for a moment, Kanye singled out a pair of fans.
“There’s two people left that don’t want to stand up,” West said.
After waiting a few moments, West added: “This the longest I’ve had to wait to do a song. It’s unbelievable. Now if he’s in a wheelchair, then it’s fine.”
After West’s bodyguard reportedly saw that the fan in question was indeed in a wheelchair, West opted to continue his performance.
