Why Kanye West’s rambling, late night tweets have left Kim Kardashian seriously concerned
A series of tweets claiming his wife Kim Kardashian was trying to have him locked up on medical grounds, comparing himself to Nelson Mandela and suggesting the movie Get Out was based on his life has family and friends worried – will Kanye’s bonkers behaviour nix plans to be the next US president?
Kanye West posted a series of tweets late on Monday (July 20) US time claiming his wife was trying to have him locked up on medical grounds, comparing himself to Nelson Mandela and suggesting the movie Get Out was based on his own life.
At that event, he tearfully referenced a decision he said he made with wife Kim Kardashian not to abort a pregnancy.
“Kim was trying to fly to Wyoming with a doctor to lock me up like on the movie Get Out because I cried about saving my daughter’s life yesterday,” West said in one of the tweets that was later deleted.
“If I get locked up like Mandela ya’ll will know why,” he wrote in another tweet, also subsequently deleted, referencing the man who became South Africa’s first black president after being imprisoned for nearly three decades under apartheid.
In other tweets, later deleted, West appealed directly to Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, to contact him at his ranch in Wyoming.
West’s record company UMusic and a representative for Kardashian and Jenner did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.
