Kim Kardashian Defends Kanye West After Awkward Wheelchair Rant At His Concert In Australia, As Couple Touch Down In L.A.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West landed at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday morning after a long flight from Australia, and while they looked exhausted, their adorable daughter Nori looked like she was ready to go!
The family was down under for the Australian leg of Kanye's Yeezus tour, and the over the weekend the rapper was slammed for asking everyone at his Sydney show to stand up before he performed "The Good Life." Well, everyone except the few disabled fans. Kanye demanded that everyone rise -- "unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and sh*t."
Almost everyone was standing, but then the rapper noticed that two fans were still seated, and he pointed at them and attempted to call them out before realizing that they actually were disabled. Kanye whined, "This is the longest I've had to wait to do a song, it's unbelievable," and he actually made his bodyguard walk into the crowd to confirm that the individual was in a wheelchair before he went on with the set.
Kim posted an Instagram video of Kanye performing and wrote:
- "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."
Perhaps, but maybe he shouldn't have been such a control freak a-hole about it? It still seems pretty douchey to us ... In case you missed it, watch the video and see for yourself!
For his part, Kanye hasn't released a statement, he did stop his Brisbane, Australia show yesterday to rant about how the media makes him a “bad person,” when he’s simply “a married, Christian man with a family.”
