Kanye West has done it again, this time the rapper demanding everyone in the audience to stand or else he wont continue performing - but things became awkward when he realised, after the crowd pointed it out that the two who were still seated were actually on wheelchairs.

The 37 year-old Chicago rapper was performing in Australia at the Sydney Credit Union Arena on Friday night, reported the Daily Mail

He was performing the song Good Life from his third studio album Graduation when he began his rant about everyone getting on their feet.

“I can't do this song, I can't do this show until everybody stand up,' he said, saying fans were only exempt if 'you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and s**t.”

He then sent out his bodyguard to verify whether those people were really wheelchair-bound. When the bodyguard confirmed this, the rapper said “Okay, you fine!” and continued his performance.

The show was part of West’s Yeezus tour Down Under.
