Struggling to understand what is going on with him? Is it publicity? Mental illness? Or does he just love winding people up? Is he a troubled genius or just troubled? Does he have a point, are we all brainwashed to what the MSM are telling us or is he just delusional?

He’s completely mad and out of control. He’s been like that for quite some time, and unfortunately nobody fancies doing anything about it

Wednesdaywobbles · 04/10/2022 16:25

I honestly can see something tragic happening to him or others around him

DismantledKing · 04/10/2022 16:27

TBH I would not really be bothered if something did happen to him.

Interested in this thread?

I think he struggles with his mental health and has periods where it is worse than others, plus he's also a law unto himself regardless.

Mamazita · 04/10/2022 16:31

He has bipolar and refuses to take medication, hence his behaviour

missbipolar · 04/10/2022 16:32

He has bipolar and based on what people who know him have said he frequently goes without medication to control his moods. It's extremely sad to watch

waffless · 04/10/2022 16:57

Well not sure about is he is bipolar. However, the organisation Black Lives Matter in the US have misused funds to buy houses for themselves. It seems a scam after all. Sad.

That’s not really very nice now, is it?

He’s a fashion designer trying to drum up publicity for his new collection, doing something controversial is really quite normal for these people

Wednesdaywobbles · 04/10/2022 17:03

I don’t think BLM is a scam, however a organisation that gets significant amounts of money very quickly, combined with human nature means that something like that could happen. It shouldn’t take away from the original message but it does mean that in order to continue the organisation needs to be regulated in some way.

I know that the NRA are up to their eyes in corruption (I’ve listened to a few podcasts which definitely doesn’t make me an expert by any means)

back to Kanye, I know very little about bipolar but he just seems to be spiralling. It wouldn’t surprise me if he seriously hurt himself and someone else did it

He's a very unwell man. Unfortunately for those around him, if he won't comply with his meds regimen, he'll just continue to worsen. The constant media exposure feeds into his grandiosity and I've no doubt it'll turn seriously ugly sooner or later.

aDayattheLido · 04/10/2022 17:05

Is it about him wearing a White Lives Matter hoodie?

Not that in isolation no, just recent behaviour. The Pete Davidson posts, the posts about gap & adidas - just everything really.

is he really ill or just a master media manipulator?

OP posts:
TheVanguardSix · 04/10/2022 17:13

He is really ill and because of the nature of his illness, he believes he is a master media manipulator.

Oh hey ex-President of the USA Donald Trump. There was really no need except racism to bring that up in this discussion. Sad.

LidlCinnamonBun · 04/10/2022 17:16

I watched the documentary about him that followed him for years.
I would guess he’s bipolar and his illness got so much worse when his mum passed away.

woodstocky · 04/10/2022 17:17

He's very clever and obviously very talented, but also ill and I imagine is surrounded by 'yes people' which doesn't help. Not a good combination.

badbaduncle · 04/10/2022 17:18

Kanye is a genius who suffers severe mental illness. He is an incredible talent. When his mother died, he lost the one person who truly knew him, he trusted and could rein him in. It is an absolute tragedy what happened to her and he has never recovered. When he was in deep grief he got lost in the Kardashian madness and now it seems unlikely he'll ever get the help he needs. A relative of mine worked/lived with/for him for 10 years. It is very sad.

Cameleongirl · 04/10/2022 17:18

It's a publicity stunt and he definitely appears mentally ill.

But, there is another lawsuit against a BLM executive regarding siphoning donor funds. Is that the "scam" he's referring to?

Jesrcx · 04/10/2022 17:22

This!!

waffless · 04/10/2022 17:27

I could not care less @ RATSLAVE if you need to call me racist for pointing out what is all over the news. It is very sad that they misuse funds for themselves. Black people in America are speaking against them not just Kanye.

Yes, there's no need to mention what Kanye has said in a thread about Kanye.

DismantledKing · 09/10/2022 21:55

He’s really covered himself in glory this time. Managed to get his Insta and Twitter accounts zapped by being a racist prick.

Dotcheck · 10/10/2022 22:51

Is it sad?

I think you could be bipolar, and not be anti-Semitic.
I think you could be a genius ( debatable in his case) and not be anti- Semitic

He is just another racist asshole

Ysss, the tide is turning. I find many brainwashed by mainstream on the verge of brreakdown, anxiety, health anxiety, doomed, depressed, more aggressiveness, every fear mongering bit of news from MSM brainwashed humans sends them in a frantic panic and many in terrible health at young ages well. It's weird but he does have a point and mental health comes in different forms
