After Kanye West‘s hospitalisation on Monday for psychatric evaluation, reports began to emerge that the rapper was facing something “far worse” than exhastion and sleep depravation.
He did not make it home for Thanksgiving celebrations, as his family had hoped, and new statements from sources close to the Kardashian-Wests have shed some light on his mental health battle.
Sources say that West believed people were “out to get him” prior to his hospitalisation, and that he initally refused to let doctors at UCLA Medical Centre touch him.
During the Sacramento stop of his Saint Pablo tour, which he cut short after a rant about Beyonce and Jay-Z, Kanye said:
“Jay Z, call me, bruh. You still ain’t called me. Jay Z, I know you got killers. Please don’t send them at my head. Please call me. Talk to me like a man.”
The same sources claim that Kanye’s paranoia has been “building up for months” and his condition “goes way beyond” dehydration and exhaution.
According to reports in People, Kanye “understands” that his hospital stay is necessary. We hope he is getting the help he needs at this time and wish him well in his recovery.
