It was a moment that caused controversy around the world when Kanye West stopped his concert to wait for a fan to get on their feet - before realising they were in a wheelchair
And now new video footage has emerged showing exactly what happened at the 37-year-old's Friday gig at the Sydney Credit Union Arena.
Kanye stopped in the middle of hit song Good Life and said he wouldn't continue until every fan in the arena was on their feet, and sent bodyguard Pascal Duvier to verify that the seated fans were in fact wheelchair bound. #WATCH video below:
'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.'
When the musician saw a concertgoer waving a prosthetic limb to explain why they weren't dancing, he acknowledged them, saying: 'Okay, you fine!'
But when another fan remained seated, he said 'this is the longest I've had to wait to do a song, it's unbelievable,' before sending Pascal to check whether the person was in fact in a wheelchair - which they were.
Social slamming: The moment was soon broadcast by fans on Twitter who described the incident in detail
