There’s no doubt about it, Kanye West has always been a celebrity who loved jumping into controversy. But lately, his crazy antics complemented by even crazier statements have made him become a figure of universal mockery. Whatever your views on his politics, you’ve probably been puzzled or bemused by his recent behavior.
No seriously though… what on earth is going through that head of his when pulling such foolish shenanigans? Does he really lack such basic self-awareness in his actions and words, or is he simply pulling these stunts to gain the only media coverage he’ll get because he’s become such a has-been? Any person with an iota of intelligence or self-respect would simply bow down or at the very least move out of the public eye after such backlash. But no… Instead, we have this irrelevant, Hitler-praising, celebrity nutjob spewing garbage.
The reality is, anyone in their right mind would bury their head in the sand in ashamedness. They’d want to keep a low profile or even vanish off the face of the earth. Perhaps creating an alias or even becoming completely anonymous. And, it is possible to do this. Technology has afforded people to hide their identity in various ways, whatever the channel. For example, even if you’re playing at an online casino and prefer to keep your personal details to yourself for whatever reason, there are anonymous casinos to cater to that request.
Why Does Kanye West Keep Making Big-Time Mistakes?
For many, the answer to this question lies in what could be called the “Kanye Paradox.” This paradox is best described as the tension between West’s almost pathological need to be the best and his simultaneous quest to make his art authentic.
West’s need to be the best is well documented, with nearly every one of his albums getting a shout-out to his desire to be the number one. However, this need to be the best is not simply the ego-driven desires of a braggadocios rapper, but rather an attempt to transform his art into something truly authentic. In this way, West’s seemingly pathological need to always be the best is a manifestation of his desire to make his art not just good, but great. But some can’t take him seriously, come on, he’s running for President!
A Short History of Kanye’s Mental Health Issues
Kanye has had a long history of mental health issues. He experienced a serious mental breakdown in the mid-2000s and was hospitalized for it. All exacerbated by his wife Kim Kardashian’s robbery in Paris and their eventual divorce. In February, Kim filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences and requesting joint custody of their four children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. On March 19, the final season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians was aired, and Kim stated that Kanye’s increasingly erratic public behavior in 2020, which included calling her a ‘white supremacist’ and revealing that they had considered an abortion during her pregnancy with North, was the ‘final straw’ in their connection.
After that, he became more open about his mental health and the need for people to seek help. Kanye talked about the importance of therapy and staying on medication. He also told young people that they should not be ashamed of taking medication if they need it.
Billionaire No More!
West began his career in the early 2000s and became a very popular rapper in the following years. However, in 2009 he caused controversy when he declared himself to be a billionaire. It was after his partnership with Adidas for his Yeezy line. Though the real figure was much lower than that of West, which meant that he had lied about it. After a long, bumpy, and expensive ride, Adidas’s relationship with Kanye West and his buzzing sneaker brand Yeezy is officially over. The sports brand giant had been unwilling to divert resources away from its core business in order to meet Kanye’s demands. The two companies have been working together since 2016 when Adidas signed an exclusive licensing deal with Yeezy. At the time, it was reported that the deal would net Adidas more than $3 billion in revenue over 17 years.
West’s net worth went down as a result and his career suffered too. As of January 2022, West still remains a popular rapper but his net worth does not reach the billion mark.
People Are Worried About His Mental Health
Some believe that Kanye West has been displaying signs of psychosis, a mental illness characterized by an inability to tell reality from fantasy.
He has already been experiencing a number of symptoms of this mental illness, including hallucinations, paranoia, and delusions. In addition, he’s been exhibiting erratic behavior, including violent rages and making bizarre statements about his own importance. It’s clear that the stress of fame is getting to him.
Dangerous behaviors like violence can also be telling signs of psychosis, but can also be a side effects of the medication used to treat it. There’s no way to know for sure what’s driving Kanye West’s behavior until he seeks help, and if he does indeed need it, there are treatments that can support him, at least, if not for anything else, for him to regain control of his life and be held accountable for his actions.
