Kim Kardashian-West proved once again that she’s unequivocally Kanye West’s ride-or-die chick.
The reality superstar took to Instagram Monday (September 15) to post her thoughts about the Brisbane, Australia, stop of her hubby’s Yeezus Tour Sunday night, and insisted that fan-made videos on the ‘Net clear him of any wrongdoing in the wheelchair-bound fans incident. The Chicago rapper was accused of insensitivity for allegedly asking handicapped concertgoers to stand during his performance.
“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.
No matter what you think of the KimYe marriage, you can’t help but admire her willingness to stand by her man. And a fan-shot video of the incident seems to back up Kim’s account of what went down.
The “I Am a God” MC initially came under fire for asking everyone in the audience — including two wheelchair-bound fans — at his concert to stand up before he would continue performing “Good Life.” But he can be heard making an exception for the disabled fans in the footage.
“I can’t do the rest of this show until everybody stand up,” Kanye said. “And I’mma see you if you ain’t standing’ up … if he’s in a wheelchair then it’s fine — only if he’s in a wheelchair.”
Once West’s bodyguard Pascal Duvier verified that the fan was actually in a wheelchair, ‘Ye launched into the Graduation track.
Considering all of the more important news in the world, Kanye advised the media to “pick another target.” “I’m a married Christian man with a family,” ‘Ye said in his defense earlier Monday. “At my concerts, I make sure everybody has good of a time as possible, so all this demonizing me it ain’t going to work after a while.”
