Emiratesvoice, emirates voice Kanye hospitalized after scrapping US tour

Since August, Kanye West has performed around 40 dates
Los Angeles - Arab Today

Rap superstar Kanye West was hospitalized on Monday with a "medical emergency" after canceling his tour, two days after a rambling onstage tirade against fellow artists Jay Z and Beyonce.

The "Saint Pablo Tour" was set to run through December 31 but all 21 remaining shows have been canceled, a spokeswoman for promoter Live Nation told AFP. 

Hours later it emerged that West, 39, was being treated at a University of California, Los Angeles clinic, with gossip website TMZ reporting that he was undergoing psychiatric tests after being examined for exhaustion.    

Mike Lopez, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department, told AFP officers had responded to an early afternoon "call of a disturbance" at an address in Los Angeles known to be the rapper's property.

"That disturbance became a medical emergency where the fire department came and treated the individual," he said, without naming West.

The multiple Grammy Award-winning musician did not immediately make any personal statement and his representatives did not respond to requests for comment.

Celebrity gossip website TMZ quoted an unnamed source saying the rapper was pulling out of the tour because he was exhausted.

"He's been working around the clock on fashion design, both his own line and the Adidas line," the source was quoted as saying.

Since August, West has performed around 40 dates in Canada and the US, rapping above the stage on an innovative "floating" platform.

- 'Call me, bro' -

He halted a gig in New York in the middle of his set when he was informed that his wife, reality TV queen Kim Kardashian, had been robbed at gunpoint in a hotel in Paris.

West has not spoken publicly about the incident but TMZ's source said time spent away from family had added to the rapper's stress.

He canceled several dates the following week but made a comeback in his hometown, Chicago, and performed without incident until a show in Oakland on October 22 where he described the Grammys as "rigged."

The latest cancelation followed a Saturday night show in Sacramento, where West showed up an hour late and performed three songs before berating other artists and defeated White House hopeful Hillary Clinton, and cutting the performance short.

West said he was "hurt" because Beyonce supposedly said she would not perform at a certain show -- likely the Grammys -- unless she wins video of the year over him.

"I've been sent here to give y'all my truth, even at the risk of my own life, even at the risk of my own success, my own career," West said. 

He implored Beyonce's husband, the rapper Jay Z, to "call me, bro, you still ain't called me," adding that he was hurt that Jay Z had failed to visit his family after the robbery.

- 'Crazy talk' -

"Jay Z, I know you got killers. Please don't send them at my head. Just call me. Talk to me like a man," he added, appearing to suggest that his friend employed hitmen.

He also criticized Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg for failing to give him $53m to get out of debt.

The rapper told an audience on Thursday that he did not vote but would have chosen Republican Donald Trump, sparking angry fans to boo the star and throw items on stage.

West -- who has talked about plans to run for president in 2020 -- earned $17.5 million this year, according to Forbes magazine, which placed him 11th in the list of hip hop's highest-paid superstars.

The magazine predicted West would lose around $10 million from the cancellation.

There was some support for the star on Twitter as well as an angry backlash, with fans accusing him of "crazy talk" and having "lost the plot." 

West himself raps about going off his medications on his latest album. On the song “Feedback,” he raps, “I been outta my mind a long time,” and “Name one genius that ain’t crazy.”

Another tune “FML” includes West's rap: “You ain’t never seen nothing crazier than / this n—a when he off his Lexapro.” It is a psychiatric drug used to treat anxiety and depression.
