Kanye West has been candid in times past regarding his struggles with mental health, and once again he let the world in on his journey. During a discussion with David Letterman via the host’s Netflix show venture, the Chicago artist revealed how bipolar disorder has affected him.

As Entertainment Tonight exclusively shared:

The celebrated yet publicly troubled rapper speaks at length with David Letterman in a season two episode of the acclaimed Netflix series, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman, about his experiences with “ramping up” and the effects it’s had on his mind and his life.

“If you don’t take medication every day to keep you at a certain state, you have a potential to ramp up and it can take you to a point where you can even end up in the hospital,” West tells Letterman during the candid interview. “And you start acting erratic, as TMZ would put it.”

West famously sat down with TMZ for a controversial conversation last year, amid several headline-grabbing outbursts that garnered him a great deal of negative press and put a strain on his marriage to Kim Kardashian West.

“When you ramp up, it expresses your personality more. You can become almost more adolescent in your expression,” West explains. “This is my specific experience that I’ve had over the past two years, because I’ve only been diagnosed for two years now.”

West has opened up regarding mental illness in the past in a sit-down chat with Charlamagne Tha God back in 2018.

The second season of David Letterman’s Netflix series, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction is on the way and Kanye West is one of the many high-profile guests sitting down with the host.

In a preview of the episode below, Ye made some interesting comments in regards to his beef with Drake.

“An artist which I will not mention, because I’m not allowed to mention him or any of his family members…Well, we had a little beef last year,” Kanye reportedly says on the episode before revealing for the non-Hip Hop fans that he is referring to Drake. “He has this line that I love that says, ‘I told my story and made history’—like made his story and made history. That’s what we do, we tell our story and then people relate to that story.”

“I have a friend who told me that my power is my influence,” Kanye continues. “And I said my power is my ability to not be influenced.”

Kanye and Drake’s past issues hit its peak when Yeezy went on a Twitter rant demanding an apology from the Toronto rapper for following his wife on Instagram. In a later rant, the “Flashing Lights” rapper accused the 6 God of threatening his family and dissing him on his Travis Scott collaboration, “Sicko Mode.”

Since then, Kanye West cleared his “Say What’s Real” sample for Drake’s So Far Gone streaming service release. Additionally, Drizzy thanked Ye for his influence on the 10-year-old body of work.

Things can be moving in a better direction for the pair, but only time will tell.
