I know Kanye is hurt and Kim K is moving on with Pete Davidson hurts his spirit. But Kim has the right to move and be a voice in her own life. Now Kanye needs to focus on the new relationships and water those. Kim just wants to laugh be free. This is what you want for your ex when you are grown up. You want them to be happy even if it is not with you. Kim’s father moved on from Kim’s Mom Chis and her dad maintained a relationship with them be for he died. Kanye needs to move and find peace and be happy someone is trying to make Kim happy. The media needs to stop talking about this man and let him feel pain and hurt and recover he will be destroyed just like Micheal Jackson lied on until he can not show his face in his own country anymore. We have a tendency to want to shut people that tell the truth Kanye is letting the truth fly even if you don’t understand it he does, He has a vision. He wants to give to the world, When he says he is a God we are all made in God’s image, It is just he is not supposed to say it, He is not crazy he has not filtered any more he is free.
I know you are sensitive and your bi-polar disorder it is a double edge sword it is what makes you the creative you are, you would not be a billionaire without it. The list of singers who are Bipolar is long;
During the time in a session for “Kids See Ghosts,” his 2018 collaborative album with Kid Cudi, Kanye West confessed that he was battling his own demons, including suicidal urges and addiction to Percocet. He has since cut off kid Cudi who is friends with Pete Davidson.
“I already had the house and the wife and the kids and the plaques … but still have moments where I felt, like, suicidal, still have moments where I’m addicted to Percocet without even realizing it,” West says in the new documentary “Jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy,” which premieres on Netflix Wednesday.
Kanye talks openly about his mental-health struggles since the 2007 death of his beloved mother, Donda West, in “Act III: Awakening” — the third episode of the three-part documentary, which will begin streaming on March 2.
And “Jeen-yuhs” arrives amid the latest wave of troubling signs from West, who revealed that he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder on his 2018 album “Ye.” His recent erratic behavior has included everything from his social-media warring with ex Kim Kardashian to him calling out Billie Eilish and threatening to pull out of Coachella — for what he perceived to be a swipe against Travis Scott by the “Bad Guy” singer.
He is dealing with past hurt. He wants us to look to the future of black people. Betrayal our black-owned future together. Kanye wants a real black wall street. Nobody leading Kanye but God we are all made in God’s image period. Father was a black panther the system has been separating families for years. Black Future is where we want to be. All black people should be able to take care there Kids. Bipolar people are the most intelligent people. The video tells us this is our country. They beat down Ideal that makes you feel like a slave. The black dollar in America is worth trillions. Black future month. Power is not in the powerful from Kanye, The people are in the people.
There is a real uncut scene in “Act III: Awakening” where West, while in the Dominican Republic working on music, has a real about his mental health conversation with some potential real estate partners about his mental health battle.
“Have you guys ever been, like, locked up in handcuffs and put into a hospital because your brain was too big for your skull?” he says. Of course, he’s referencing when he was hospitalized and put under a psychiatric hold during the middle of his Saint Pablo tour in 2016.
“It’s not a game,” he continues. “I go to the hospital for this. I took bipolar medication last night to have a normal conversation and turn alien to English. So what are we talking about? I do not communicate in a way that people understand in public because it’s just truth, and we’re in a world of lies.” Bipolar disorder takes your filters down. You say what the fuck you want no matter how it sounds.
There’s an execution-style that was performed on me over the past six, seven years, post-Taylor Swift, where they tie … both arms, both legs to four horses, all in different directions,” he says. “They didn’t know they were dealing with Deadpool, though. Those limbs grew back. The world attacked him for this act and he survived it Obama even criticized him for that and in my opinion that was wrong. But as usual that lemonade album was spiritual and the bomb he was not wrong that video was the best. It is just we have to protect white women in this country at all costs. Even Adele tried to give her grammy to her. I love me some Adele she is best thing to happen to music in a long time.
“Coodie” Simmons who narrates the documentary that he began shooting when West was a sought-after Chicago producer reflects on when he first found out about his friend’s mental-health struggles.
“When I heard Kanye was committed to the hospital [in 2016], as a friend I was concerned for his life,” he says. “When I would see Kanye go off in the past, I just thought it was a part of the show. I had no idea he was even struggling with his mental health. For weeks, I did everything I could to get in touch with him, but no one would return my calls.”
West goes on to reveal in a Yeezy design meeting that his bipolar meds have caused him to pack on weight. “I’m, like, 35 pounds overweight due to, like, medication that I have to f– take.”
“Act III” also gives some insight into West’s troubled psyche during a bonding moment he has with Justin Bieber — who has had his own mental health issues — at his Wyoming ranch. In the middle of a meeting with his team, West tells Bieber, “This is something you might deal with where I’m telling the team a million times what I want, and it’s subtly crushing my soul and ego and my respect and my dignity as a boss.”
Coodie recalls seeing West spiral out of control in 2018, as he faced backlash over declaring that slavery was a “choice” and his support for then-President Donald Trump.
“It was difficult watching Kanye on TV, knowing he had issues with his mental health,” he says. “They were calling him crazy, but to me, it seemed like he was crying out for help. In the past, Kanye might have rubbed folks the wrong way, but for the first time, it felt like he really lost the people.”
Kanye is not Alone in the entertainment business. There is a host of stars that have to deal with this or deal with it till their death.
Kanye was in Trump’s office and spilling his soul in the Presidents office, and that was the day Kim K looked at him differently. Mental health is important and you have to get it together. Kanye is doing all that he can. He is trying to keep his head up. I want him to continue to grow because he will be worth 100 billion in the future and he will get business done no matter crazy it sounds. He has an Ideal he believes in. He is just like Elon Musk and all other great thinkers. Winston Churchill was bi-polar. In closing pray for Kanye period. Pray for mental healing we all need that. Kanye is doing a lot of Good in the world so let’s just keep doing good and leave Kim K and let God give your vision and more kids to come.

Yo Yo Honey Singh or Honey Sing is an Indian rapper, music producer, and film actor. After producing music for Bollywood films, Singh became one of the highest-paid music producers in that business. In late 2014, he disappeared from the music scene, before making a comeback the following year, but mostly avoided the media. In March 2016, he attributed his 18-month-long absence from the public to his bipolar disorder.
But that seems to have angered Kanye even more, and he took it to Instagram, of course. And seemingly threatened Hughley, writing: “DL Hughley is a pawn Yeah I know a king not supposed to address a pawn but I address everything and find addresses DL So don’t speak on me or my children I can afford to hurt u.” Kanye continued, “DL lives in Calabasas???????? Yoooooo God is good.”
