He also seems to think that JayZ might hire a hit man to get him.

I know. WTF WTF? But is this more proof we are in an alternate reality or what? And does anybody really believe Brad Pitt is a child abuser?

I've watched Kanye, whom I actually like, for years. He's incredibly smart and creative but he repeatedly goes off into swings that I don't think are just personality issues. You can watch the arcs. Of course that's not an official anything, but I feel for him. When you're a celebrity people who might otherwise say "Man, you need to look at what's going on because it's getting strange" just don't. I hope he gets some help. I don't think he can just control this.

Kanye definitely suffers from it, and you can tell he reached rock bottom by coming out as a Trump supporter. I do too hope he gets help. Trump suffers from it too and he'll probably go through the same ordeal.

10. Reports: Kanye West hospitalized in L.A. after canceling remainder of tour

After abruptly canceling the rest of his Saint Pablo tour, Kanye West has reportedly been hospitalized in Los Angeles.

According to People and NBC News, West was taken to UCLA Medical Center Monday to be treated for exhaustion. Officer Mike Lopez from the Los Angeles Police Department could not specifically reference an incident with West, but told USA TODAY that the LAPD responded to a disturbance call at 1:20 p.m. PT Monday in West Hollywood. Lopez said the Los Angeles Fire Department responded and that no crime had been committed.

LAFD spokesman Brian Humphrey, who also did not specifically name West, said the fire department responded to "an unspecified medical aid request" in the 900 block of North Laurel Avenue. "An adult male, described as medically stable, was taken to an area hospital for further assessment," he said.

The incident comes after West, 39, ignited a Twitter storm Thursday by saying he "would've voted for Donald Trump" at a concert in Inglewood, Calif.

More recently, West cut his Saturday concert in Sacramento short after several songs, but not before calling out Beyoncé and addressing Jay Z: "Call me, brah, you still ain't call me. Jay Z, I know you got killas, please don't send them at my head. Just call me. Talk to me like a man," he said. The latter show left fans so upset that Ticketmaster refunded their tickets.

The 21 remaining tour dates that West had scheduled through New Year's Eve were canceled early Monday.

I saw him live a few years ago and it's one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

Dave Chapelle has a great interview with the Actors Studio guy where he talks about the extreme stress of fame. I wouldn't wish it on myself or a friend or someone as talented as him.
