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.
