More details are pouring in about what led to Yeezy's breakdown.
Kanye West's personal doctor Michael Farzam was the one that called the cops amid his psychiatric emergency, and the physician told dispatchers that the rapper could become violent upon the officers' arrival, TMZ reports.
Farzam told authorities via phone that his patient was "Jim Jones, 39 years old, 5'8", 175 lbs ... suffers from temporary psychosis due to sleep deprivation and dehydration," and that he had placed him on a 5150 hold and wanted him transported to UCLA Medical center for an evaluation.
The hot-tempered star allegedly tried to assault a staff member at the gym, where he was when the incident occurred, and that prompted the decision to get the cops involved.
Yeezus was handcuffed to a stretcher, which is standard operating procedure in these situations, and transported to the hospital, where he still remains as of this morning.
