Man In Wheelchair Crowd Surfs During Kanye West's Surprise Cameo At Common's AAHH! Fest Set [PHOTO]

This may have helped Kanye West redeem himself with fans. During his surprise cameo at Common's AAHH! Fest set, a man in a wheelchair was spotted crowd surfing.

Gawker shared the photo from Twitter user lxscope, showing a man, rocking a "54" jersey shirt, being held up by a few folks in the audience. In the photo, it appears West pointed out into the crowd at the man, who threw his arm up in the air.

West recently came under fire following a performance in Sydney, Australia, where he pointed out two handicapped concertgoers who did not stand on request.

"I decided I can't do this song, I can't do the rest of this show until everybody stand up," West said during the show. "Unless you got a handicap pass where you get special parking and s**t. And I'ma see you if you ain't standing up, believe me. I'm real good at that."

The "Bound 2" rapper proceeded to point out members of the audience who hadn't gotten on their feet. A video floating around the net shows West then turning his attention to two fans in particular.

As West and the rest of the crowd waited on these concertgoers, boos and chants on "Stand up!" soon followed.

"This is the longest I've had to wait to do the song, it's unbelievable," he said. "Now if he is in a wheelchair, then it's fine." Once West received confirmation that the fans were handicapped, be continued on with the show.

A disabled writer for the Huffington Post wrote an open letter to West following the aforementioned incident. In part, she wrote, "When those two fans refused to stand up for one of your earth-shattering, mind-blowing performances, they gave up their human right to be treated with respect - who cares if they physically couldn't stand. I mean you did show in your attitude and the fans' reactions in the the video that people who are in wheelchairs and "get special parking and s--t" are definitely things to laugh and joke about."
