Rapper, Kanye West, has finally opened up in detail about his bipolar disorder and dealing with bullies.
During his new season which aired on Netflix on Friday night, David Letterman interviews Kanye West. During the lengthy interview titled “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction”, West touched on his bipolar disorder while blasting the media for bullying.
Likening his condition to a brain strain, Kanye said, “We’re pushed into it. We’re driven crazy. We forget who we even are. We’re driven to like a certain type of career that we’re supposed to be. We’re, like, completely bullied by the media, both celebrities and the masses, to think certain things and have group thought.”
West continued, “Like, ‘Oh yeah, damn right we’re going crazy. I’m the most famous person with [bipolar disorder]and I’ve only experienced it for two years. What about people that’s been experiencing this since they were two?”
The rapper also touched on the #MeToo movement and politics – which has been a controversial dialogue for him.
