What’s up y’all, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. with Clevver News, and we have a lot to talk
about when it comes to Kanye West.
My phone was blowing up last night saying, go look at Kanye’s Twitter.
Let me explain.
So, just on the heels of his troublesome campaign appearance, Kanye West erupted in an explosive
Twitter tirade comparing his life with the Kardashians to a horror film and accused Kim
of trying to “lock him up.”
Over the weekend, Kanye West kicked off his first presidential campaign appearance in
South Carolina, and shocked fans when he spoke about almost aborting his first-born daughter
North West, among many other accusations.
Monday night, Kanye began trending on Twitter after firing off a series of accusatory tweets
toward his wife Kim Kardashian and his mother-in-law Kris Jenner about their attempt to “lock
him up.”
Even though some fans might see this as a “typical Kanye rant,” many have since
expressed their concern and worry over Kanye’s mental health as this appeared to be a bipolar
episode.
On that note, I just wanted to let y’all know that we will be talking a lot about mental
health, and this video is not meant to mock or poke fun at Kanye by any means as this
is a topic that should be taken very seriously.
Ok, the Monday night Twitter tirade came after Kanye’s campaign appearance.
Sources revealed that Kim was “shocked that Kanye spoke about North at the rally," and
that quote, "She is furious that he shared something so private.
She loves her kids tremendously and wants to protect them.”
According to Kanye’s tweets, Kim and Kris Jenner sprung into action immediately following
his South Carolina appearance, and attempted to fly to their ranch in Wyoming with a doctor,
where Kanye had been staying.
In one tweet, he referred to his comments he made about their daughter North during
the campaign rally, saying QUOTE, “Kim was trying to fly to Wyoming with a doctor to
lock me up like on the movie Get Out because I cried about saving my daughter’s life
yesterday.”
In more tweets, Kanye revealed, “Come and get me… this is the exodus like Pusha said,”
and, “If I get locked up like Mandela, y’all will know why.”
He once again referred to the movie Get Out, making comparisons about his life with the
Kardashians, saying, “Everybody knows the movie Get Out is about me.”
Kanye then brought Kris Jenner into the mix by tweeting, “Kris don’t play with me
you and that calmye are not allowed around my children Ya’ll tried to lock me up.”
Fans were quick to point out that ‘Calmye’ was in reference to Kris’ boyfriend Corey
Gamble.
He even tweeted at his own wife to call him, and shared screenshots of a text conversation
with Kris that read, “This is Ye.
You ready to talk now or are you still avoiding my calls?”
Kanye continued to touch on many different subjects, including Kim’s infamous sex tape,
as well as her posing for Playboy.
He wrote, “I put my life on the line for my children that North’s mother would never
sell her sex tape,” and, “I put my life on God that North’s mom would never photograph
her doing Playboy and that’s on God…
I’m at the ranch.
Come and get me.”
Kanye further confirmed that his children would never pose for Playboy, sharing a photo
of him and his four kids, writing, “West children will never do Playboy.”
Many other famous names began trending as Kanye continued to call out others including
Shia LaBeouf for not showing up to his photoshoot for his Yeezy collaboration with Gap.
He called out Vogue editor Anna Wintour for allegedly laughing in his face when he told
her about his collaboration with Gap, until she ultimately called back “kissing his
ass.”
He also tweeted screenshots of Google searches for actresses Halle Berry and Jennifer Lawrence,
leaving fans confused as to what he was getting at.
One user pointed out that Kanye could’ve been showing fans the difference between Googling
white and black actors, writing, “I think he was pointing out the fact that if you look
up J Law (A white actress) you get her bio and accomplishments but if you look up Halle
Berry (A black actress) all you get is news and drama about relationships.”
Fans have also been taking aim at the Kardashians for standing back and doing little to nothing
to help Kanye, however, based on his tweets, it seems that Kim actually has been trying
to get him the help he needs.
Kim is reportedly “desperately worried” about Kanye as a source revealed to Page Six
QUOTE, “The family believes he is having a bipolar episode.
He won’t take medications because he feels they make him less creative, but to go out
and say that about North is shocking.
Kim is devastated.
She’s worked so hard to help him, but she won’t let him do this to their children.”
According to many media outlets, she has also allegedly urged Kanye to stop his presidential
campaign or she will divorce him.
As of this morning, none of the Kardashians have spoken out on Kanye’s well-being, but
Twitter has expressed deep sadness and shock over Kanye’s accusations.
One user wrote, “It’s easy to dehumanize celebrities and sit back and laugh as they
meltdown publicly, but please remember the little ones who love him and need him and
know him only as their daddy.”
Others are taking notice of Kanye’s behavior and are urging others to not take his Twitter
rant as a laughing matter or for comedic relief.
This person tweeted, “The world is so funny.
Constant preaching of “Mental Health is real you guys!
This is important!”
And then the second someone has actual mental health issues it’s a big ass joke.”
Halsey, who has also been living with bipolar disorder shared a lengthy message on Twitter,
urging fans to either offer support or to just stay silent.
She said, “No jokes right now.
I have dedicated my career to offering education and insight about bipolar disorder and I’m
so disturbed by what I’m seeing.
Personal opinions about someone aside, a manic episode isn't a joke.
If you can’t offer understanding or sympathy, offer your silence.”
In another tweet, Halsey added, “A lot of people you know probably have bipolar disorder
and you aren’t aware of it.
Taking this opportunity to make offensive remarks and vilify people with mental illnesses
is really not the way to go...this is the exact triggering shit that causes people to
keep quiet about it.”
However, some people seem to believe that Kanye is doing this as a cry for publicity
considering his album is dropping this Friday.
One user wrote, “Notice Kanye west only goes off the shits before he drops an album.
The kardashians aren’t stupid, they know it’s free promo.
They are in on it too.
Fuck Hollywood.”
Others refuse to excuse Kanye’s misogynistic behavior regarding his tweets about Kim for
having a mental illness.
This user who wrote, “Being slut shamed… by your husband?
In front of the entire world?
I’ll be fucking DAMNED.”
Whether Kanye will continue his run for president is still up in the air, but fans are taking
his final tweet about “focusing on the music” as his announcement that he is dropping his
campaign and will focus on his upcoming album Donda from here on out.
We will be sure to update you all as more news updates are revealed.

well wishes to the family down in the comments.
