Rapper says bipolar disorder assessment is wrong and points out that his new painting helps explain several of his controversies
YErapper previously known as Kanye Westhe manifested himself about his mental health. The artist stated that he was diagnosed with autism and said he believed he would have been mistakenly evaluated with bipolar disorder in 2016.
In an interview with Podcast The Download with Justin Laboy (via NME), the American said that his wife, Bianca Censorishe was responsible for convincing him to undergo a new diagnostic process. The architect and model previously dealt with people who had bipolar disorder and via difference in behavior.
“My wife took me because she said, ‘Something about her personality doesn’t look bipolar, I’ve seen bipolar disorder before.’ And I found that it is really a case of autism that I have. ”
Also according to Ye, part of the controversies in which it is involved would have to do with the autistic spectrum disorder. He states:
“Autism takes you to something Rain man [filme de 1988]: ‘Dude, I’ll wear this Trump hat because I like Trump in general.’ And then, when people tell you not to do that, you just focus on that point. And that’s my problem. ”

The rapper believes that his picture also exerts influence artistically. It all starts from the principle of acting differently than people expect.
“When fans tell me to make my music in a way, I do it the opposite way. It’s so hard for them because this is like an adult man, you can’t tell him. You cannot take control of his bank account. You can’t control what I’m saying on Twitter. The constant feeling of not being in control left me out of control. ”
Interrupted medication
Also during the interview, YE said he interrupted his bipolar disorder medication. The reason does not seem to be so related to the alleged wrong diagnosis: he only understands that the medicine was harming his creativity.
“I have not taken the medication since I found it not bipolar, that it was not the right diagnosis. It is finding things that do not block creativity, obviously that’s what I bring to the world. ”
Kanye West’s recent controversies
Ye returned to the news after his wife, Bianca Censorihaving appeared with a transparent costume, completely naked behind this piece, on the red carpet of Grammy last Sunday (2). Since then, the rapper has amended a series of controversial statements: he said he had surpassed the award winners in visibility, has called for freedom for singer Sean Combs (also known as P. Diddy or Puff daddy), declared to have “dominion” over Censori, criticized Jews and said he was Nazi.
