Tell that to whoever he runs with.. they’re more at fault than we are. How are we supposed to feel bad for this man’s mental health when there should be someone next to him to pull him to the side and tell him to knock it off? This man has torpedoed his whole legacy in less than a year and is still going. The mental illness excuse can only go so far.

Mental illness doesn't turn someone into a Nazi.

That said, yes I'm sure Ye has all sorts of mental problems, but that doesn't excuse his behavior.

I will keep it short. How many times are we going to watch his dumb behavior and act shocked / appalled?

The man is bipolar and when he is off his meds, is susceptible to manic episodes. You tell people this and it literally goes right over their heads.

Mental health has become a buzzword at this point, but its clear the world actually needs some education. Please read this shyt:


I dont condone any of his stupidity. I literally couldnt care less about Kanye, but yall gotta understand where its coming from so you can detect other people with mood disorders in your daily life, and not attribute it to them being dumb or "c00ns".
I know people who suffer from the same condition, none of them started praising hitler

op is not wrong. if you've seen it with your own eyes, it becomes hard to criticize the patient/sufferer. ESPECIALLY if they refuse to take their meds cause it makes them feel detached from themselves and their creativity

most people cant process how fukked his mind is because its not a physical disability.
if he had his eye socket hanging out of his skull in an interview, i think people would be screaming for him to seek immediate medical help
but because it's an invisible pain, people simply cant get it

what kanye needs now is a conservatorship, like britney spears had. he's had many, many manic episodes for like 6 years, publicly. it's time to take away his freedom to do harm to himself and others. but there are too many people who rely on him for a living to let that happen

What does OP want us to do with this information? You think Kanye out here getting flamed because people don't understand or empathize with mental illness?

Kanye West was a filthy rich billionaire pop star surrounded by adoring fans, friends, families, groupies, and the best healthcare money can afford. He has a life all of us and the average guy suffering mentally could only dream of. And yet, even inspite of loss, illness and whatever we all get by the best we can with what we have. You got people out here with legit bipolar and manic depression who barely have the money to support their condition and have committed to therapy, medication, help and a moderate lifestyle for the sake of their kids, and family, let alone themselves. I have tremendous respect for people who have been through trauma and are doing everything they need and putting in the work to have a better lofe for themselves and the people around the.. fukk THIS nikka KANYE AND fukk HIS ISSUES. I don't feel sorry for his ass.

You’ve made very valid points. But if Kanye had less financial resources one could argue he would probably be more committed to taking his meds and therapy because he wouldn’t be able to function without having said resources. On the flip side, many people with average financial resources may not be as committed to meds and therapy if they were in Kanye’s position.

Kanye definitely is dealing with some severe mental issues.

Kanye is a c00n.

Both things can be true.

Also having mental problems does not automatically absolve you from your actions.


This. People acting like it's one or the other when both can apply. I've always thought it was a combination of both

So if he doesnt take his meds what exactly should we feel?

Hif he knows he has a problem and doesnt take preventitive steps then really he is responsible for self sabotage

Seems to fit someone who has anti social personality disorder a little more to me. But the fact is he wasnt always like this. And ultimately what pushed him towards this is being around too many europeans. Black people who live and exist in predominately white spaces, are 70 percent more likely to suffer from depression,mental breakdowns,mania etc. This is the future for many assimilateds:respect:
