    Madonna Apologized After She Accidentally Told A Wheelchair User To Stand Up At Her Concert

    "This is never okay."

    Madonna has stirred up (more) controversy after pausing a recent concert to ask a fan to stand.

    In a video, which has since been viewed over 1 million times on X, Madonna was addressing the crowd when she noticed the person seated in the audience. "What are you doing sitting down over there?" she said, pointing towards them. She then appeared to ask the fan, "What are you getting sitting down?"

    Seemingly unable to hear their response, Madonna walked closer to the edge of the stage before realizing the fan used a wheelchair. "Oh, okay," she conceded. "Politically incorrect. Sorry about that."
