Kanye West continued his flurry of tweets on Saturday morning (December 15) and opened up about his mental illness. In the process, he chided pop star Ariana Grande for using his recent rant aimed at Drake for promo for one of her songs.
“All of this foolishness weighed on my mental health,” he wrote. “so @ArianaGrande you know I got love for you but until you’re ready to really make sure everyone’s ok don’t use me or this moment to promote a song.”
Like the rest of Twitter, Grande caught wind of Kanye’s tirade earlier this week and dropped a since-deleted tweet about it, while simultaneously promoting her new song “Imagine” and Miley Cyrus’ “Happy Xmas (War Is Over).”
“guys, i know there are grown men arguing online rn but miley and i dropping our beautiful, new songs tonight,” she wrote. “so if y’all could please jus behave for just like a few hours so the girls can shine that’d be so sick thank u.”
Kanye did acknowledge Grande likely didn’t intend to throw salt on the wound.
“I know Ariana said this to be cool and didn’t mean no harm,” he tweeted.” but I don’t like even slightest level of slight commentary from someone I know loves and respects me.”
Elsewhere during ‘Ye’s Saturday morning Twitter session, he doubled down on Drake’s perceived disrespect when it comes to the topic of mental illness. He also brought up Drake’s subliminals on Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode” again and Drizzy’s alleged tweets to Kris Jenner.
“Drake verbally attacked Cudi when he was in the hospital and went at me after TMZ because I decided to release albums in June,” he said. “It snowballed and he refused to meet with me but texted my mother in law and did sneak disses on peoples records that I consider family.”
Par for the course, Kanye wrapped up this latest Twitter firestorm on a positive note while admitting he’s been off his medication for six months.
“I’m loving the new music I’ve been working on,” he said. “6 months off meds I can feel me again. Remember when dark fantasy came out I used to tweet a storm also. I cannot be on meds and make watch the throne level or dark fantasy level music. I love that we are destigmitizing mental health. Gucciman [Gucci Man] and Quavo have a song Bipolar this is so good for the culture.”
As for Grande, she made it perfectly clear how Kanye’s words have affected her.
“anyway I hate the internet so much,” she wrote on Saturday morning. “sending love. but like bye. last thing. stop weaponizing mental health. everyone.”
will all these narcissistic twits just o.d. already they only have mental illeness because the mdma, cocaine, heroin, pills, or whatever they abuse for years on end put holes in their brain, if you get cancer friym smoking all day zero empathy if you get it & never smoked violins
Lithium actually isn’t that bad, Kanye. I should know because I take it. You’re going to struggle with medication compliance for years. Sometimes you’ll take it, sometimes you won’t. But trust: if the Dr. diagnosed you as bipolar and prescribed meds, you most likely need to take them. Granted, a heavy dose of any med will make you feel like a zombie. Get your medication levels right. But yeah, lithium ain’t too bad. I was a stone-cold alcoholic for 10 years. Lithium helped me stop drinking, cold turkey. Peace.
Irony is he’s using his “mental health” to play the victim card AND promote his trash ass music and clothes. And what “mental health” issues did Kid Cudi have besides being an emo depressed drug addict? I’m pretty sure he threw shots at Drake first and Drake responded, a junkie in rehab isn’t the same as mental illness.
Buts it’s all fine and well for his artist to mock people with Multiple Sclerosis? The most attention and promo Pusha T ever got in his career he was making jokes about a man dying from an incurable disease..
The Cudi thing was years ago,Why does he keep bringing it up now? He didn’t seem to have a problem with it when he had Drake writing songs for him numerous times. I seem to remember Kanye shitting on Kid Cudi pretty hard too,I only remember the part where he was like “dont ever forget I wore skinny Jeans first”
If this guy is as sick as he seems why don’t his loved ones take him out of the public eye? Why are they ok with him ruining his reputation?
Anytime Kanye goes on these random tweet sessions, the world should tweet him some of their favorite songs from artist talking about their mental struggles in reply, like Geto Boys mind playin tricks on me, 2 Pac so many tears, Asap Rocks song Shrunk. He’s crying for help everyone, send him some G.O.O.D. Music. Im kinda joking but kinda not. We all got songs we know
He’s suffering from Kardashian Vaginitis. This illness can cause the brain to rott from the inside. It can also cause me to cross dress or transition into a woman themselves. It can also effect your grip on really, causing irrational thinking while becoming extremely delusional. If not treated, It was cause the recipient to lose their physical appearance,loss of all money, and socially excommunicated from all major media/television networks.
He really does need some help before it’s too late.
Look at the men for any examples of how devastating this illness is:
Ray J
Bruce Jenner
Kris Humphreys
Reggie Bush
Lamar Odum
Tristan Thompson
I love how y’all cutting down Kanye for trying to make the world a better place. At the end of the day he’s trying to bring awareness to mental health and trying to break the chains of materialism and social norms that seem to influence how we think and treat others. Ye just wants everybody to think freely, not what the media wants us to think, so we don’t have to be told what to do by corporations for the rest of our existence. And the longer we argue with each other and cut people like Kanye down the longer we will suffer
Kanye promotes materialism and tries to bring attention to himself. Kanye himself is a huge corporate entity and so is his wife. He isn’t “thinking freely” he’s thinking irrationally and he doesn’t want us to think freely he wants us to follow his misguided thought process. If you had the ability to think for yourself you’d know his “movement” is full of shit. But, have fun being fake woke and taking up for a man who embodies all the things you say he doesn’t.
If you don’t think it’s wrong that a majority of Americans measure their happiness and success by how much money they make then I feel bad for you. Also, if you think it’s ok that people are written off by society because they don’t act “normal” then I feel really bad for you. And finally, America has the highest rate of depression and suicide out of all first world countries for a reason. Shit, our suicidal rates are right up there with 3rd world countries. Why? Because we value money more than love and family. End of story
His philosophy of thinking freely has won him more ass and money than your broke ass will ever receive
Good for him still doesn’t make him right
Break the chains of materialism??? Have you checked out the prices on his clothing? He’s selling thrift store hobo outfits for hundreds of dollars. He was selling plain white t-shirts for like $150!! He is married to a fucking Kardasian!!!
Damn this dude is soft if what this little girl said is really bugging him. Lmfao like for real? All these rappers on some lame shit. Letting a little girl offend you with something so small.
first he used the maga hat to get attention now he keeps talking about his mental health to get sympathy
i don´t doubt that he´s cuckoo but i understand that none of this rappers,singers are going at him anymore .Nobody wants to get blamed if he jumps off a bridge
Stab my fucking eyes out.
And get rid of all of them
2 rich opportunists….not a damn thing to see here
Why weaponise mental health when you can profitise it? Both are opportunists, both are full of shit.
