Kanye West‘s recent presidential bid and the accompanying “rambling” Forbes interview are reportedly effects of a bipolar episode.
On Thursday (July 9), alleged sources of the Chicago native told both TMZ and People he’s currently suffering from an episode related to his bipolar disorder that’s impacted things he’s said in the last week. While it’s reportedly not unusual for him to go through such an episode, the source said he’s “struggling.”
“Kanye has been doing well for a long time,” they said. “In the past, he has suffered both manic and depressive episodes related to his bipolar disorder. Right now, he is struggling again.”
Following his Fourth of July tweet he’d be running for President of the United States in 2020, Kanye spoke to Forbes in what the magazine referred to as “four hours of rambling interviews.” Wife Kim Kardashian is reportedly upset as well and currently in Los Angeles with the kids while he’s in Wyoming.
“Kim is concerned, as well as her whole family,” the source added. “It’s super stressful for Kim, because Kanye’s behavior is very unpredictable. She is worried. The episodes usually last for a few weeks and then things go back to normal. Kim hopes it will be the same this time.”
Kanye confirmed his mental health issues with his 2018 album Ye, labeling on the cover art, “I Hate Being Bipolar. It’s Awesome.” Since then he’s opened up about his struggles with bipolar disorder and in a series of tweets in December 2018, he revealed he’d stopped taking medication for it.
“6 months off meds I can feel me again,” he tweeted. “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.”

Regardless of what he ultimately decides, Kanye wouldn’t be able to run for president this year. As noted by CNN, the Late Registration rapper is simply out of time, as he’s already missed multiple deadlines.
Or is it politicians at work?
Yo who are these “sources” and why is it every time he states an opinion its “oh he having a bipolar disorder episode”..you can’t have an opinion on anything now. All he said was he was against abortion ..this nation is so damn hypocritical..in God we trust be we don’t abide by his laws…
The people who founded this country believed in the separation of church and state and many of the founding fathers were irreligious. They had seen how the Church of England effectively became a tool of the state and did not want that happening here. Persecution was among the reasons many people left to form the colonies here, along with taxation and the abundance of resources. The book you believe in is a fairy tale. If there is a God he did not write down his teachings in a dusty old book 2,000 years ago and then never speak again. You are a moron. Do your googles you dumb incoherent motherfucker
The fact is God does still speak today to his prophet. Seek and ye shall find. Knock and it shall be opened unto you. Google the teachings of Russell M. Nelson. He’s an amazing man. Called by God to lead his people on the Earth. He brings hope and light at a time of darkness all around.
Ok then stop talking about Kanye and let him be. Sounds like a waste of time to keep reporting on this dude if he’s having a moment.
Dude.. Just take yah dam meds. Dude is 6 months off his meds hes in a delusional state of mind
Hopefully he kills himself
Kims always worried. nobody gives 2 fucks about these 2 retards
