I'm not sure which. I don't take offence easily but it infuriated me to read that a US rapper (whom I'd never heard of) insisted at a show in Australia that he wanted everyone standing before he'd begin his next number. "Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking," he added. It turned out that some of his fans did qualify for a "handicap pass" and, rather than being passed over, they were brought to the attention of the entire arena who urged the disabled fans to "stand up, stand up" as prompted by the star.
It sounds horrifically like humiliation of the disabled as a form of entertainment, but I suspect it's merely a blend of supreme arrogance, culpable ignorance and stupidity. Who, on earth, does he think he is?

He has received negative feedback and if anybody had any sense they'd boycott his music full stop.

From what I see in the press, Kanye West is married to one of the
Kardashians who had his baby and called it North West.
Says it all really.
Disgusting though aiming at disabled people.
