Is Kanye West having a meltdown like he did in 2016?

That’s what a lot of people have been asking after he’s shown some behavior in recent days that seem strange.

One of the latest episodes that’s caused concern include Kanye phoning Ebro Darden at Hot 97. This was just one day after the radio host said he argued with Ye about supporting conservative speaker Candace Owens. Ye also told Ebro that he loved Donald Trump during that conversation.

“I just called to say I love you,” Kanye told him over the phone.

“I love you too,” Ebro replied.

Then after several more I love yous and a couple of awkward silences, the “Last Registration” creator said he’d rather talk to Ebro in person before they had a phone interview.

A little after that conversation, folks took to Kanye’s Twitter page and some called him crazy and others egotistical.

“Kanye, go take a nap,” someone wrote.

“You’re no Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Mandela, Garvey, Rosa Parks, Tubman, Angelou, Ali, Truth, Holiday, Powell, Rice, Obama,” another person tweeted. “If you stand for nothing you will fall for anything, Mr Kardashian. Humility is lacking in you, seeking to incite because you lack any credibility.”

Besides folks on Twitter, Wendy Williams also called Kanye crazy and said his recent tweets are proof that he’s coming apart.

“Kanye West has really lost his mind, and I don’t mean that in a humorous way,” she said on her show. “We’ve seen him on a slippery slope for a long time. This is really sad, you all.”

“In the last week, he’s tweeted 112 times,” Wendy continued. “Plenty of people do that, the problem with his is that they’re rants. His thoughts about God, his thoughts about slavery is a mentality. He talked about supporting right winger Trump and the Trump supporters. He’s talking about deprogramming. He wants to deprogram people.”

Williams then blamed some of the mental issues that Ye has faced on his dealings with the Kardashians.

“Whatever happened to the thought-provoking Kanye we knew who was slightly nutty,” she asked. “Nutty is good. We’re all a little nutty … But when he got with that family, number one, he should have stayed like the mack in the back. He should not have participated in the reality show.”

Plus, TMZ reports that Ye has parted ways with most of his management team, including Scooter Braun, after he demanded they work with him full-time. Braun is currently one of the biggest managers in the world, so there’s no way he could focus on Kanye solely.  

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
