Kim Kardashian’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian told the rapper to see a doctor after claiming that he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
The controversial rapper, 47, was reportedly “in the middle of a serious bipolar episode” that worried his friends and family in 2020. Kim, amidst rumours of their divorce, came to his defence as she called him a ‘ brilliant ‘ yet ‘ complicated ‘ man.
She said at the time that “he is a brilliant but complicated person who has to deal with the pressures of being an artist and a black man, and who also went through his mother’s personal loss,” and who also has to deal with his bipolar disorder. After years of inconsistent behavior and a breakdown in the media, Kye first revealed that he had bipolar disorder in 2018.
Kanye confirmed in an interview then that he had been “diagnosed with a mental condition”, adding: “I’ve never been diagnosed and I was like 39 years old. Because of people who have mental illnesses outside of Kanye West and can’t make that album, I feel so blessed and privileged.
The rapper has mentioned autism in his albums, but he recently revealed it was a misdiagnosis after confessing to it. Speaking on Justin Laboy’s podcast The Download, Kanye said: “The constant feeling of not being in control spun me out of control”.
He added: “They call it specifically bipolar, they put that on me they I said it so I put it on the album. I visited a doctor who works with Justin Bieber and who I’m not even going to name other people. He referred to the time he was experiencing mental health and didn’t directly name his ex-wife.
Kanye continued: “My wife took me to do that because she said: ‘ Something about your personality doesn’t feel like it’s bipolar. I’ve seen bipolar before, ‘ She’s educated so she said ‘ I’ve seen bipolar before'”. He continued, “I’ve come to realize that I have autism, and autism takes you to a Rainman thing where you’re like, Oh man, I’m going to wear this Trump hat because I like Trump in general, and then you just get on that one point,” in response.
“And that’s my issue, because when people tell me to do my album in a certain way, I’ll do it the other way because I made the right decision,” I think. Kaye said that those around him had trouble believing that they could tell him that this was a mature man. You can’t control what I’m saying on Twitter, but a lot of what I was saying during the episodes, he continued, “I can’t control what I’m saying on Twitter, but it’s difficult.
“My dad and a bunch of people said ‘ You can’t leave Adidas. Why would you leave all that money? ‘ However, I was sucked out of control by the constant sense of controllessness. Kanye revealed on the same podcast that he stopped taking his medication after discovering he wasn’t bipolar and instead autistic.
The star explained: “I haven’t taken the medication since I found out that it wasn’t bipolar and that it wasn’t the right diagnosis and I found out it was autism. It’s finding stuff that doesn’t block the creativity obviously that’s what I bring to the world you know it’s world”.
