Kanye West Hospitalized: 5 Facts You Need to Know

Date:

NBC News reports that Kanye West is in the hospital after he cancelled the rest of his Saint Pablo tour.

The news came after two consecutive performances were plagued by a long rant that garnered boos from the audience. Reports suggest that Kanye West is exhausted, while one source told the New York Post that there are “fears” he has had a “nervous breakdown.”

According to NBC News, LAPD was called to his home at 1:20 p.m. The network’s sources say that he was taken to a hospital for his own safety. He was taken to UCLA Medical Center, but had to be restrained because he did not want to go. Two doctors visited his home and decided he needed to go to the hospital after a check-up.

This is not the first time people have questioned Kanye’s health. In February, a long time friend and frequent collaborator Rhymefest told the press that his friend needed help.

In addition, at the 2015 Grammys, Kanye West interrupted Beck, who picked up with the Grammy for Album of the Year. It looked like a repeat of the 2009 MTV VMAs incident, when he interrupted Taylor Swift. In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, West first tried to blame that on people in the audience egging him on.

You know, I felt like just the whole Grammys, right when that happened, everybody was looking at me, and then people started screaming, ‘Kanye! Kanye! Go do it!’” West said.

He then admitted that this didn’t really happen. “Ok. That didn’t really happen, these were voices in my head,” West said. “The voices in my head told me to go up. Then I just walked up, like, halfway up the stage.”

Kanye West also told an audience in 2010 that he once considered suicide.

“I will not give up on life again,” he said. “There’s so many people that will never get the chance to have their voice heard… I do it for them.”
