Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
Kim Kardashian says Kanye West is “being himself” and hit back at claims he’s experiencing mental health issues.
The 37-year-old jumped to her husband’s defence after he was criticised for pro-Trump messages, including calling the US president his “brother”.
“To the media trying to demonize my husband let me just say this,” she tweeted.
“Your commentary on Kanye being erratic and his tweets being disturbing is actually scary.”
In a flurry of messages, Kanye updated fans on new music, his clothing line and shared his appreciation for the US leader.
“You don’t have to agree with Trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don’t agree with everything anyone does. That’s what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought,” he tweeted on Wednesday.
“Free thinkers don’t fear retaliation for your thoughts. The traditional thinkers are only using thoughts and words but they are in a mental prison. You are free. You’ve already won. Feel energized. Move in love not fear. Be afraid of nothing,” he also said.
The rapper’s comments didn’t go down well with some fans. Some people and media outlets appeared to question Kanye’s mental state.
In 2016, the rapper was taken to hospital following a “disturbance call” and there were reports he was admitted for a “psychiatric evaluation”.
However, Kim said people shouldn’t be concerned with the rapper’s state of mind.
It’s the second time in a week that tweets from Kanye have sparked an online debate. The 40-year-old only recently returned from a social media break
