Kanye West hospitalized in Los Angeles, network confirms
Dr Farzam is believed to have told police that Kanye wasn’t violent but would likely become so when police came to assist in his hospitalisation.
Farzam reportedly told police that the rapper had attempted to assault a staff member at the gym where he was working out.
Kardashian had been expected to make her first public appearance Monday night since she was tied up and robbed at gunpoint last month in Paris.
The patient was “medically stable” when taken to a hospital, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Brian Humphrey, who also did not identify that person as West.
Hours earlier the 39-year-old star had abruptly cancelled the rest of his USA tour without explanation and on Saturday he stormed offstage 20 minutes into a concert.
TMZ reports that Kanye was at the home of his trainer Harley Pasternak at around 1:20 pm local time when paramedics arrived.
Kanye “is exhausted and now dealing with sleep deprivation”, one anonymous insider tells People.
Kim Kardashian’s harrowing Paris robbery reportedly took its toll on husband Kanye West as well – with the stress stemming from the ordeal likely contributing to his recent hospitalization. But on Monday evening, the KUWTK star made a last-minute decision to skip the Angel Ball at the Cipriani Wall Street in NY, which honored her late father, Robert Kardashian.
With daughters Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian by her side, an emotional Kris Jenner paid tribute to her late ex-husband Robert Kardashian, saying he taught the family about the importance of philanthropy and that he would be “very proud” of their success.
He cancelled several dates the following week but made a comeback in his home-town, Chicago, and performed without incident until a show in Oakland on October 22 where he described the Grammys as “rigged”. “He’s fine.’ The source went on to dismiss rumours that he was “handcuffed to a gurney” as reported in TMZ, claiming that the musician ‘was not restrained [and] he went freely”. The singer, the source said, “feels like he’s under spiritual attack”. “But that’s where growth comes from”, the source says.
Kanye’s admittance to the hospital follows an especially controversial week for the rapper, in which he declared his support for Donald Trump at a concert in San Jose before ranting about Beyoncé, Jay Z, Hillary Clinton, and more at a show in Sacramento just a couple days later.
He cancelled his Sunday performance at the Forum in Inglewood, Los Angeles, three hours before it was supposed to start.
