To think Kanye West behaved despicably

He refused to sing until everyone stood up and sent his bodyguard to check that those who didn't were genuinely disabled.

As if that wasn't bad enough, I dread to think how he would have behaved had their disabilities been less obvious.

I still don't think it would have been OK if none of the audience were disabled. They had paid for their seats. Why shouldn't they sit in them if they want to??

What an arsehole!

And as for the audience who booed the disabled people unable to stand, that is utterly disgusting.

ShatnersBassoon · 15/09/2014 13:02

He seems an insufferable man. I wonder how he was before he was rich and famous.

YouTheCat · 15/09/2014 13:03

He's a twat and most of the people who would pay money to see the untalented arse are too.

Mrsjayy · 15/09/2014 13:04

Kanye west is the biggest egotistical arsehole I have ever come across he is also dillusional horrible man go that man holding his leg up though Grin

MegMogandOwlToo · 15/09/2014 13:05

He did this years ago, it's nothing new. He's always been a nob!

EmberElftree · 15/09/2014 13:05

Oh God what a travesty of a human being he is.

In the words of P!nk after his outburst at the VMA's

"Kanye West is the biggest piece of shit on earth. Quote me."

I love her Wink

Mrsjayy · 15/09/2014 13:07

Pink does have a great way with words

TooOldForGlitter · 15/09/2014 13:08

Ooh Pink said that! I agree, he's vile.

EmberElftree · 15/09/2014 13:08

There's an episode of keeping up with the Kardashians where Kim and her mum go on a slightly disastrous trip to Austria for a big ball in Vienna. Whilst there some of their v expensive bags and shoes get stolen from their luggage , some of the schedule for the events gets mixed up and they basically slag off Austria and say how awful their experience of the country is - bear in mind they're on an all expenses paid trip no expense spared. Then there is an admittedly awful experience where an Austrian comedian uses the 'n' word as a joke about Kanye's N in Paris song, saying 'N in Vienna', totally unacceptable yes, awful ignorance of the language. Kim and her mum went on about the terrible racism and general crap time they'd had and how they couldn't WAIT to leave the country, they wouldn't be back etc, and as I read the article and a few others about this incident, all I could think of was that episode and how Kim is married to this man who she totally reveres and perceives as so clever and talented. He's an absolute twonk. He's so prejudiced and ignorant. And totally unable to see past himself. Which is probably why he's so rich.

LividofLondon · 15/09/2014 13:56

He's an arse to demand people stand up, but notice how many of the audience backed him and booed those that remained seated Hmm

BeggingYourPardon · 15/09/2014 14:22

I've read one of the audience members had to take her fake leg off and wave it at him to prove it was real. Personally I would have shoved it up his pompous inflated A**e.

gingee · 15/09/2014 14:25

She should have smacked him round the chops with it

Aeroflotgirl · 15/09/2014 14:25

What a nasty individual, wonder how he is like towards his wife! Remember who put you up there in the first place, and who can take you down you muppet!

Purplefrogshoes · 15/09/2014 14:26

yanbu

LadyLuck10 · 15/09/2014 14:27

Yanbu, his wife and him are just the same.

OneSkinnyChip · 15/09/2014 14:32

He's a twat and his music is shite.

Him and Kim weren't that fussed on Ireland either. What a tragedy, maybe they'll never come back Hmm :o

funnyface31 · 15/09/2014 14:39

He is a Prick, an ugly one too.
They both (kkw) think that the sun shines out out of their arses!
Who in the REAL world does this, overrated pair of game hungry .....

Pink is fab Grin

funnyface31 · 15/09/2014 14:40

Meant to say fame but now thing game is correct!!!

squoosh · 15/09/2014 14:48

When I get my own regime Kanye will be going straight in the dungeon with Noel Edmonds and David Tenant.

Aeroflotgirl · 15/09/2014 14:51

Way to go Pink, you said what most of us feel

Moreisnnogedag · 15/09/2014 14:53

For comparison, there's a clip of jayzee catching the tube in NY to his own gig chatting to a little old lady. Went up massively in my estimates as he was so polite and humble.

Kanye is just an arse.

HerRoyalNotness · 15/09/2014 14:56

It's a shame the majority of the audience didn't walk out, instead of remaining to stroke his tiny little ....erm ego. What an absolute arse of a man.

Andanotherthing123 · 15/09/2014 14:59

He's just a bully. Hearing him say "oh, if he's in a wheelchair that's alright" makes me feel sick. Well, thank you Kanye for your blessing you hateful prick.

The crowd booing is appalling but there is also laughter when he mentions wheelchairs then when Kanye goes into his song (which is shit) the crowd all start bobbing up and down like idiots. Shame on them all.
