Report: Kanye Feels Like He Is Under "Spiritual Attack," Struggling With The Anniversary Of Late Mother Donda's Passing

This makes us sad for him.

Kanye West's breakdown was triggered by his perception that he is under "spiritual attack" among other mental health issues, People reports. The rapper is also struggling to cope with the nine anniversary of his mother Donda's passing.

"He feels like he’s under spiritual attack, and has been for awhile. It’s not just the big things; it’s smaller, quieter things, internal things. You might think that it’s about Kim’s robbery, and while that didn’t help, that’s not what’s going on here. He’s dealing with a lot more subtle issues," a source dished to the mag.

"His mother died in November, so this time of year always brings him a lot of pain. He keeps that pain internalized, but sometimes will talk about how hard this time of year is for him. He works through the pain every November,” the source added.

Apparently, Ye has been battling inner demons for a while. Even so, he views his struggles as an opportunity for growth and reflection.

"He feels like it’s a trying time for his spirit, but that can be a good thing. He isn’t one to run away from these things. He leans in and listens, and comes away a stronger, better man. But it hurts him; his spirit is vexed. But that’s where growth comes from. Sometimes, darkness creeps in, and Kanye wrestles against it. He talks about that a lot. It’s exhausting, and it takes everything he’s got. He’s just so tired now; he’s very low energy and feels like there’s a grieving in his spirit. It’s very hard to explain, but something has happened recently, where he’s not the ‘Ye that everyone knows," the insider revealed.

We're rooting for you Yeezy!

 

Report: Kanye Tried To Assault Staff, Threatened To Assault Cops Prior To Hospitalization For Psychiatric Evaluation

Posted on Tue Nov 22nd, 2016 8:25am PDT       By X17 Staff


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.

Despite Kanye West's meltdown and hospitalization yesterday, Kris Jenner, accompanied by Corey Gamble, Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian put on their best gear to attend the 20th Annual Angel Ball, a cancer research fundraiser 20th-annual Angel Ball, an event which raises money for Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation and where the late Robert Kardashian was to be honored at the event held at Cipriani in NYC.

We get that the fam wanted to stay to honor Robert Sr., but we aren't really sure they needed to do the red carpet amid Kanye's breakdown.

During her red-carpet walk, Kris told Extra: "He's exhausted he's just really tired. He's had a grueling tour and it's been a grind so he just needs some rest."

Yeah some rest and some serious mental help! That dude's lost it!

Kris also spoke about how daughter Kim Kardashian has been doing since her Paris attack: "She's [taking things] one step at a time ... It’s a process."

Kim had been scheduled to make her first red-carpet debut since October -- but rushed home via private jet from New York to be by her hubby's side after his hospitalization for a psychiatric emergency. Oh man, Kanye ruins EVERYTHING!

On Monday, Kim took off from LA around 5am, landed in New York at noon local time; she heard about Kanye's hospitalization at 5pm ET, then jumped back on the plane at 8pm New York time, and touched down in LA at 10:30pm PT.

 

Gigi Hadid Apologizes For Melania Trump Impression At The AMAs

Posted on Tue Nov 22nd, 2016 6:45am PDT       By X17 Staff


She must be feelin' the backlash!

Gigi Hadid just apologized for doing an impression of Melania Trump while co-hosting the 2016 American Music Awards this past Sunday, but she was quick to note that she's been butt of the joke before, too!

"I was honored to host the AMAs last night and to work with some of the most respected writers in the business. I removed or changed anything in the script that I felt took the joke too far, and whether or not you choose to see it, what remained was done in good humor and with no bad intent," Hadid wrote. "I too have been the center of a nationally televised comedy skit that poked fun at my actions, and was able to find the humor in it," she explained in a hand-written letter posted on Twitter.

"I believe Melania understands show business and the way shows are written and run. I apologized to anyone that I offended and have only the best wishes for our country," she added.

In case you missed it, the 21-year-old mocked Trump's RNC speech, in which she plagiarized Michelle Obama's 2008 DNC speech. The Victoria's Secret stunner told the crowd, “This is my Melania Trump impression. I have to get the face right." She then put on a heavy Eastern European accent and pulled a duck face, and said, “I love my husband President Barack Obama and our children, Sasha and Malia."

It's probably best for her to just stick to the catwalk.

Kim Kardashian rushed home from New York last night to be by Kanye West's side after his hospitalization for a psychiatric emergency.

KK was scheduled to attend the Angel Ball -- a cancer research fundraiser, where her late father Robert Kardashian was to be honored -- but instead she booked a private jet to return home. Khloe and Kourtney stayed on for the event, along with Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble, while Kim flew solo, with her assistant, to be by Kanye's side.

Yesterday, Kim took off from LA around 5am, landed in New York at noon local time; she heard about Kanye's hospitalization at 5pm ET, then jumped back on the plane at 8pm New York time, and touched down in LA at 10:30pm PT. It's almost as if she knew this was going to happen. To be able to book a private jet, get to the airport in New Jersey from Manhattan during rush hour, and be back on the ground in LA by 10:30pm is nothing short of a miracle.

BREAKING NEWS - Kanye West Hospitalized After Cancelling Saint Pablo Tour

Posted on Mon Nov 21st, 2016 5:52pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Kanye West was taken to UCLA Medical Center today around 1:30pm, from his Bel Air mansion just after he cancelled the rest of the dates on his Saint Pablo tour through the end of the year.

Police were called to the home for a welfare check and paramedics ended up responding and taking him to the hospital in handcuffs.

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian is in New York to attend the Angel Ball honoring her late father Robert Kardashian. No word yet on whether she'll hop an early flight back to be by Kanye's side.

And just a thought ... since Kanye cancelled the remainder of his tour due to "exhaustion," could it be that insurance requires an actual medical diagnosis to cover the cost of the missed concert dates??? Otherwise, the reimbursement to the fans and to the concert promoter might have to come out of Kanye's pocket if he breaches his contract. Just a thought!

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Kim Kardashian Jets To NYC With Kris And Kourtney, Set To Make First Public Appearance Since Paris Robbery

Posted on Mon Nov 21st, 2016 12:00pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Out of hiding and headed to the Big Apple!

Kim Kardashian caught a 5am flight out of LA aboard a private jet this morning with mom Kris Jenner and sister Kourtney, and the gals are headed to NYC. For what, you ask? The reality star is set to make her first public appearance since her Paris robbery at the Angel Ball, where her late father Robert will be honored.

A source tells X17:
    "Kim seemed happy to finally get out. She was dressed to the nines and looked stunning."

We bet Kimmy K is happy her trip came when it did, considering husband Kanye West seems to be having a total meltdown! After dissing Jay Z, Beyonce, Hillary Clinton and a host of others at his show earlier this weekend, he abruptly canceled his Sunday evening concert at The Forum before calling off the Saint Pablo tour entirely!

The bootylicious bombshell is no doubt thrilled to be emerging from seclusion, as multiple reports claim she was going crazy being stuck inside her Calabasas mansion while she recovered from the traumatizing heist at the beginning of October. We wonder who will score the first sit-down interview? Our money is on E!, but she could be angling for someone major like Diane Sawyer. Guess we'll have to wait and see!
