Dave Chappelle visited Kanye West at his ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Tuesday (July 21) amid concerns over his mental health. Kanye posted a video on Twitter with the stand-up comedian and longtime friend as they posed for a group photo.
“Thank you Dave for hopping on a jet to come see me doing well,” Kanye tweeted. “Dave you are a god send and a true friend. All love.”
In the clip itself, Kanye tells Dave that the world needs some joy and asks him to say something to make him smile.
“Brotherhood is real, love is real,” Dave said.
Kanye laughed in response, saying, “Wait a second – I’m still not smiling bro,” before telling him to “lift our spirits.”
“An uplifting joke? You know I don’t write them,” Dave said. He continued, “Shit, I don’t know. I’m still on my first cup of coffee.”
Dave met Kanye for the first time in 2003 when he gave the rapper his first television appearance as a musical guest on Chappelle’s Show. “You could tell that he was going to be a star,” Dave told Jimmy Fallon.
In 2005, Chappelle welcomed Kanye onto the show again for a performance of his Common collaboration “The Food.” The live version of the song featuring Dave’s introduction appeared on Common’s sixth studio album, Be.
Just yesterday, Kanye posted a series of concerning tweets accusing his wife Kim Kardashian of trying to make him see a doctor.
“Everybody knows the movie Get Out is about me,” he tweeted. “Kim was trying to fly to Wyoming with a doctor to lock me up like on the movie Get Out because I cried about saving my daughters life yesterday.”
Kanye also said that his mother-in-law and her partner Cory Gamble are forbidden to see his four children, North, Psalm, Saint and Chicago.
“Kris don’t play with me,” he said. “You and that Calmye are not allowed around my children. Y’all tried to lock me up.”
The Moment: Kanye West Calls Out The Kardashians
On Sunday (June 19), Kanye’s first campaign rally to become President of the United States took place in Charleston, South Carolina. Ye broke down into tears on the topic of abortion, screaming, “I almost killed my daughter!” after admitting that he wanted Kim to abort their first child, North.
Kanye also made headlines for his comments about abolitionist and political activist Harriet Tubman.
“Harriet Tubman never actually freed the slaves, she just had the slaves go work for other white people,” he said.
F%#-k Kanye
Little child, Kanye doesn’t owe you shit. Worry about yo self.
Free speech is so lovely BLM
Well he chose fame or in his case infamy, so therefore we can diss the sh!t out his ass whenever we want it’s fun. And when he becomes a man we will respect him but he’s been a bitchass boy this whole time almost 2 decades so faqq him. Mkay pumpkin?
Where is Ja?
That prison, mental institution drip..
F%/kem
did u come back to this 2 hours later to comment that again. kanye must have a lotta real estate in your brain
Kanye need to come out the closet
I’m curious as to whether Kanye’s campaign will actually gain traction. From what I’ve seen so far, all its provided are these little sideshows that take away from the real electoral issues in certain sense. The media are happy to play into it but the people’s response is going to be felt through the ballot box and attendance numbers at campaign rallies so we’ve got some interesting times ahead of us.
The last time I saw someone create sideshows that take away from what really matters, he became President.
I don’t see it happen. The reason, because the trump core audience will never vote for him him and always for trump. Then you have the core liberals who in general are also brainwashed to vote for Biden no matter what ridiculous things he says. And finally you have a small group of people that ride with kanye like that to vote for him. Maybe a few ones will switch from Biden to kanye. So I can’t see him win. It’s going to be tough for him to get the majority of Democrat voters. Let alone the republican voters and the trump fanatics.
Shoutout to Jarobi…I see you bro!

Kanye is an attention seeking moron. Anyone who would actually waste a vote on him is even a bigger moron.
