American rapper Kanye West has opened up on his mental
health struggles, admitting he’s felt “suicidal” in the past.
The 44-year-old rap star in his new Netflix documentary,
‘Jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy’, disclosed he told his colleague, Kid Cudi about
his mental health and substance abuse issues during a recording session in
2018.
Ye said: “Even me when I already had the house and the wife
and the kids and the plaques, I would still have moments where I felt suicidal,
would still have moments where I’m addicted to Percocets and don’t even realise
it; you know what I’m saying?”
The Yeezy boss also revealed in 2018 he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, while he was hospitalised with exhaustion and sleep deprivation in 2016.
Clarence ‘Coodie’ Simmons, the director of the new
three-part documentary explained it was “difficult” to watch the father-of-four
go through his struggles so publicly.
Coodie said: “It was difficult watching Kanye on TV knowing
he had issues with his mental health.
“They were calling him crazy, but to me it seemed like he
was crying out for help. In the past, Kanye might have rubbed folks the wrong
way, but for the first time it felt like he really lost the people.”
