If Kanye West doesn't get his way, he goes haywire -- surprise, surprise.

During his concert in Sydney, Australia on Friday night, the rapper ordered every single person in the crowd to stand up, and when a couple of individuals didn't, he threw a hissy fit, Newsday reported.
West reportedly stopped his show until everyone listened to him and followed his orders, but little did the rapper know the concertgoers who didn't get up on their feet were disabled.
One individual was allegedly in a wheelchair while the other had a prosthetic limb.
"I decided I can't do this song -- I can't do the rest of this show -- until everybody stand up," West reportedly told the crowd. "I'm going to see you if you ain't standing up, believe me."

West, according to Newsday, surveyed the crowd and demanded people in the audience seek out those sitting down in order to make them stand up. The crowd booed those not participating without realizing they physically could not get on their feet. One fan even reportedly waved a fake leg in the air.
"This is the longest I've had to wait to do a song," he complained, according to Newsday. "It's unbelievable... Y' all want to stand up or y'all want to get removed?"
West finally discovered the handicap of the two people who remained seated after his bodyguard Pascal Duvier checked out the situation, confirming the wheelchair disability at least. The rapper then resumed singing.
The incident made it on YouTube Saturday, racking in over 20,000 views. Of the hundreds of comments written under the video, viewers have offered conflicting opinions. Some have criticized West for being very arrogant, while others said the rapper deserves a free pass because he didn't know any better.
West has been married to Kim Kardashian, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, for over three months and the couple has one daughter together named North West.
