After Kanye West's wheelchair-gate, his wife Kim Kardashian-West has remained by his side to defend him against media reports. As MTV points out, the reality star took to Instagram yesterday to post her thoughts on what went down on the Brisbane, Australia stop of her husband's Yeezus Tour. She claims the fan footage that surfaced on the Internet clears 'Ye, who was accused of insensitivity for allegedly asking handicapped fans to stand during his concert, of any wrongdoing in the incident.
"What an amazing Australian tour! Its frustrating that something so awesome could be clouded by lies in the media. Kanye never asked anyone in a wheel chair to stand up & the audience videos show that. He asked for everyone to stand up & dance UNLESS they were in a wheel chair. #JustWantedEveryoneToHaveAFunNight #TheMediaTwistsThings," she wrote in the caption.
The fan footage showed him asking everyone in the audience to stand up, but making an exception for disabled fans.
"I can't do the rest of the show until everybody stand up," West said. " And I'mma see if you ain't standing up... if he's in a wheelchair then it's fine - only if he's in a wheelchair."
Once his bodyguard Pascal Duvier confirmed the fan was, in fact, in a wheelchair, West began the Graduation track.
Yesterday, West advised the media to "pick another target" adding that he is "a married Christian man with a family" who makes sure "everybody has a good of a time as possible, so all this demonizing me ain't going to work after a while."
