Kim Kardashian has spoken out in defence of her loud mouth husband, Kanye West, following claims he stopped his concert in Sydney, Australia, because a person in a wheelchair wasn’t able to stand.

Apparently, the Touch The Sky rapped asked the whole crowd to stand but refused to carry on when two people, one of whom was in a wheelchair, didn’t co-operate.

However, Kim has defended his actions and claimed that Kanye actually said people who were unable to stand should stay seated.

“It’s frustrating that something so awesome could be clouded by lies in the media,” Kim wrote on her Instagram page.

“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”

Kanye’s also defended his actions, calling himself a “Christian man” during his concert in Brisbane.

“I want to take this platform. If I didn’t have this last concert, maybe I would’ve tweeted something or put out a statement with a publicist, but I can talk directly to you - my fans.

“I’m not going to make one of them Ben Affleck statements and s***.

“At my concerts, I make sure everybody has as good a time as possible. So all this demonizing me, it aint’ goin’ to work after a while. Pick a new target. Pick a new target.

“Because I’m not one of these dumba** artists that you’re used to. You come at me, I’m going to take my platform and break this s*** down for real, intelligent people every night. And then, we’ll get back to the music.”

We think he’s trying shed some light on the situation. We're just confused.

Best to leave Kim to the talking, Kanye.
