Friends close to Kanye West believe that he is experiencing a psychiatric episode.
He has been exhibiting a lot of behavior recently that has put him in the headlines, with the most recent example being his ‘White Lives Matter’ fashion line that was exhibited at a show and modelled by the granddaughter of Bob Marley. It led to much condemnation from people inside and outside the fashion world.
The interview with that he did with Tucker Carlson was also not agreed upon with his team. That follows reports that Kanye West has been regularly firing his consultants and advisors.
He has also posted racist or antisemitic ideas on social media, with the rapper even being suspended from Twitter.
“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” he wrote on Twitter on Saturday night.
“The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew.
“You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
Sources have told Page Six that the recent behaviour seems more serious than in previous years and there is genuine concern that the rapper may not be well.
“Insiders are in no doubt that his recent headline-grabbing behavior is the result of a mental break, and they believe it’s the most serious such episode that the rapper has suffered,” Page Six reported.
“We’re told that friends are at a loss to find someone who can get through to the superstar and convince him to seek professional help or temper his outlandish and self-destructive behavior, and he’s even fought with longtime pals who have tried to calm him down.”
He is said to be barely sleeping at all, and that was one of the contributing factors towards his hospitalisation back in 2016.
West was hospitalized because of mental health problems in 2016 and in 2019 he said that he suffers from bipolar disorder.
