Chance The Rapper is praying for Kanye West after West was admitted to hospital for his own safety on Monday afternoon. Chance was performing on BBC Radio 1Xtra when he took a moment out of “All We Got” to speak on the issues facing Kanye at the moment.
“I want to extend a very special prayer to my big brother, Kanye West. I know there’s a lot of weird folks out there but you already know that I’m a hundred grand,” he said. “I want to just extend this prayer and this love from all the way in Britain. We might come home early to see this man. Happy Thanksgiving.”
He later added, “I think everybody goes through it. And I think right now, probably what he needs more than anything is his real, close friends and family around.”
Kanye’s often-erratic behavior reached a head over the weekend when he stormed out of a show after three songs and a long rant about a wide variety of topics, before canceling the next night’s show in L.A.
It has since been announced that the rest of the Saint Pablo Tour has been axed while Kanye recovers.
Chance isn’t the only one who’s wishing Kanye well at this time.

Fellow Chicagoan Twista penned a letter to his friend asking fans to join him in praying for West.
“Wanting help doesn’t show weakness,” he writes, “it actually shows character and it lets people know you too are you human and you too have feelings too. when the provider needs help, who can the provider turn too? When you have sooo many people that depend on you everyday, who can you turn to just to vent out to or just breath too without feeling weak to?”

The easy thing to do is make Kanye West jokes.
The compassionate thing to do is hope he's ok and gets the help he needs.— andy lassner (@andylassner) November 22, 2016
