In the footage, the rapper is seen calling out one particular fan, insisting he would not continue the show until he stood up before realising the gig-goer was disabled. After realising the mistake, the rapper added, "Is he in a wheelchair?... Okay, you (are) fine."



Craig Wallace, of People With Disability Australia, tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph, "To call out people for not standing up, when they are disabled and cannot stand up, in front of thousands of people, is humiliating. What if it was a young person who's coming to terms with their disability? It's arrogant to say every person in the audience needs to stand up just because you tell them to. Kanye West owes a duty of care and respect to his audience... Asking disabled people to show their handicap pass is patronising and inappropriate. He should apologise. Kanye West would also benefit from disability awareness training."
