Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West spoke out about his mental health in his 2021 Drink Champs interview.

“We all are on the spectrum somewhere,” he told the hosts, referencing his diagnosis for bipolar disorder, “just only of us went to the hospital or have been diagnosed [with a disorder, or prescribed] medication.”

He continued: “There’s a lot of people who will say, ‘I don’t believe that you are actually bipolar.’ And anytime somebody wants to say that I’m wrong about something, hide the truth [or] lie, they say, ‘Ye’s crazy.’ It’s just the ultimate final cut-off to not have to listen.”

On destigmatizing the word “crazy,” the ‘Donda’ rapper said the word is used a ploy to stop uncomfortable conversations.

Kanye West held a listening party for Donda 2 last night at LoanDepot Park in Miami. The event was live streamed and artists who appeared live included Jack Harlow, Migos, Marilyn Manson, DaBaby and Alicia Keys.

Interesting side note, Kanye sampled Kim Kardashian's monologue from SNL at the party which included her saying “the best rapper of all time” and the “richest Black man in America”.

The most notable moment of the night came when Kanye seemed to get frustrated with sound issues and threw his mic in frustration. See the video below:
