Kanye West has threatened to spill the Kardashian family secrets live on Twitter if wife Kim stages an intervention to deal with his bipolar disorder.
Insiders say the rapper told Kim he’ll “live stream” any attempt by her to “lock him up” following his claims that she’s trying to get him hospitalised.
“Kanye is very unwell and everyone’s very worried for him,” says the insider, quoted by The Sun. “He’s acting extremely paranoid and seems convinced Kim and Kris Jenner are ‘out to get him’.
“He’s told her that if the Kardashian family try and stage an intervention he’ll live stream it on Twitter and ‘show the world the truth’.
“He’s warned Kim that he knows the family ‘secrets’ and will put them all out there. There’s a lot that isn’t on the reality show – feuds, secret celebrity hook ups, surgery, financial deals and rows within the family.
“But Kim’s only concern at this stage is getting Kanye help and protecting their children. She’s very worried.”
In a now-deleted tirade on Twitter, Kanye said that he’s been “trying to divorce Kim” since she met rapper Meek Mill at a hotel in 2018.
He also called Kim and her mother “white supremacists” and said Kris was “not allowed around my children”. He also claimed the horror film Get Out was “about him”, and brought up Kim’s 2007 Playboy shoot and her sex tape with ex Ray J.
Kanye warned his followers: “If I get locked up like Mandela Ya’ll will know why” and made cryptic references to Kim’s best friend Larsa Pippen – who the family unfollowed her on social media last night – and Drake.
He also said that Kim “tried to fly in with 2 doctors to 51/50 me”. A 5150 hold allows a person with a mental illness to be involuntarily detained for a 72-hour psychiatric evaluation.
“Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behaviour know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor,” Kim said on Instagram.
But celebrity Blac Chyna, who was engaged to Kim’s brother Rob, supported West.
“Chyna of course wants her daughter Dream’s ‘Uncle Kanye’ to get whatever help he needs,” Chyna said via her lawyer, Lynne Ciani.
“However, Chyna does not want all of his recent statements regarding his mother-in-law summarily dismissed as ‘crazy’ as some people apparently would like to do.”
West called his mother-in-law Kris Jong-un.
While Chyna, 32, “vehemently disagrees” with West’s statements that “slavery was a choice” and that Harriet Tubman “never freed slaves,” the Lashed salon owner maintained the rapper’s comments regarding his mother-in-law “should not be entirely ignored” based on her negative experience working with Jenner, the New York Post reported.
KIM’S DESPERATE PLEA AS NEW DIVORCE CLAIMS EMERGE
Kim Kardashian West is reportedly meeting with divorce lawyers to consider her legal options after Kanye West’s latest bipolar episode, a source close to the reality star says.
“Kim has been meeting with lawyers to explore and talk about divorce,” the insider told US Weekly on Wednesday, adding “Kim doesn’t want to divorce Kanye. She envisioned spending the rest of her life with him, but at this point she has to get real for the sake of the family. The kids are the priority.”
The source also said the Skims designer has avoided the difficult decision in the past “because of their children.”
The claim comes hours after 39-year-old Kardashian broke her silence on Instagram, telling followers she is “powerless” and calling her husband “brilliant but complicated”.
The reality star said “his words sometimes do not align with his intentions” after Kanye claimed he has been “trying to get divorced” from Kim since she met his fellow rapper Meek Mill at a hotel two years ago.
She said she had never spoken before about West’s disorder “because I am very protective of my children and Kanye’s right to privacy”.
“But today I feel I should comment because of the stigma and misconceptions about mental health.”
In his latest rambling Twitter outburst, West said that Kim was “out of line” to meet Meek Mill to talk about “prison reform”, and blasted her mother Kris Jenner as “Kris Jong-Un” while accusing the pair of “white supremacy”.
Kardashian shared three pages to her Instagram story and 180 million followers: “Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behaviour know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor.
“I understand Kanye is subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at times can cause strong opinions and emotions. He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, and has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bipolar disorder.
“Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words some times do not align with his intentions.”
West’s latest Twitter rant also included the claim that Michael Jackson was murdered.
But a source told The Sun that Kim is standing by her rapper husband until he gets help.
“Kim thinks she’s the only one who can ‘save’ Kanye,” an insider said.
“After everything that’s happened this week she knows she can’t save her marriage, and accepts it was probably over a long time ago.
“But she won’t split with him at his lowest point. She owes it to their kids to stick by his side until he gets help.”
West – who is running to be the president of the United States – is holed up in a “super secure” bunker at his $A25 million Wyoming ranch.
It’s claimed he “doesn’t trust” Kim or her famous family who he says are trying to “lock him up with a doctor”.
The father-of-four later wrote: “Kris and Kim put out a statement without my approval … that’s not what a wife should do White supremacy”.
He then added: “Says the future President.”
West’s erratic behaviour was first seen during a disturbing onstage rant at a launch event this weekend for his shock US presidential bid.
He broke down in tears as he shouted: “I almost killed my daughter” as he revealed he stopped Kim from having an abortion when she was pregnant with their first child, North, in 2013.
The tragic scenes of the past few days have reignited debate in America about mental health laws and what can he done to help people suffering from severe disorders.
KANYE SAYS HE IS ‘TRYING TO DIVORCE KIM’
Kanye West has had another explosive meltdown on Twitter, revealing he has tried to end his marriage to Kim Kardashian ‘for the past year’.
The 43-year-old rapper made the series of wild allegations in a dramatic Twitter rant – his second outburst on the social media platform in less than 24 hours.
West referred to himself as “future president” and his mother-in-law Kris Jenner as “Kris Jong-un” – a reference to Kim Jong-un – in the sensational spray, which has left fans deeply concerned for his mental state.
“They tried to fly in with 2 doctors to 51/50 me,” West wrote in a series of since-deleted tweets.
“I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf for ‘prison reform’
“I got 200 more to go. This my lady tweet of the night … Kris Jong-Un Lil baby my favourite rapper but won’t do a song wit me”.

Kanye appeared to be referring to the time Kim and Nicki Minaj’s ex Meek Mill teamed up to speak at the inaugural Criminal Justice Reform Summit in Los Angeles in November 2018, The Sun noted.
West added: “Meek is my man and was respectful That’s my dog Kim was out of line I’m worth 5 billion dollars and more than that through Christ But ya’ll ain’t listen to MJ and now ya’ll believe them???”
In another tweet about Michael Jackson, Kanye said that the singer was “murdered”.
He wrote: “MJ told you about Tommy before they killed him Kim saved my daughters life in the name of Jesus It’s Gods choice only I will live for my children Kris I’m in Cody if your not planning another one of your children’s playboy shoots”.
The father-of-four also accused Kim’s mum Kris Jenner of “white supremacy”, sharing private texts he sent her.
One message sent by West to Jenner read: “This Ye, you ready to talk now or re still avoiding my call?”
A second one added: “This Ye, you wanna talk or go to war?”
West captioned the screenshot: “White supremacy at its highest no cap” – as Jenner was yet to reply to his messages.
He also accused Kardashian and Jenner of releasing “a statement without my approval … that’s not what a wife should do”, adding “white supremacy”. West then added: “Says the future President.”
‘KIM IS MORTIFIED’
Kim Kardashian is worried for her children following Kanye West’s public meltdown, a family insider says.
“Kim is mortified. She has desperately been trying to help Kanye, keep him calm and prevent him from having any public meltdowns,” the insider told Page Six on Tuesday.
“The family believe he is having a bipolar episode. He won’t take medications because he feels they make him less creative. But [to] go out and say that about North is shocking.”
During his first presidential campaign rally on Sunday, West told a small crowd in Charleston, South Carolina, that he and Kardashian had considered aborting their now seven-year-old daughter, North West.
“Kim is devastated. She’s worked so hard to help him, but she won’t let him do this to their children,” the insider says.
The admission comes hours after comedian and long-time friend Dave Chappelle flew from his home in Ohio to check on the rapper.
“Thank you Dave for hopping on a jet to come see me doing well,” West tweeted alongside a video with Chappelle, adding, “Dave you are a god send and a true friend all love.”
The pair can be seen outside West’s Wyoming ranch with four other people, where West asks Chappelle to “make us smile”, saying “the world needs some joy.”
Chappelle jokes that he is on his first cup of coffee. When West requests an “uplifting” joke, Chappelle replies, “you know I don’t write those!”
Two hours later, West shared another video with two male visitors laughing with West, who is off camera.
West wrote, “Thank you 88 MNOP for joining me at our ranch in Cody it’s so good to have real ones around oh and they both wearing orange.”
The video comes less than 24 hours after West publicly accused his mother-in-law Kris Jenner of conspiring to “lock me up.”

Following the meltdown West now risks losing his $1 billion ‘Yeezy’ deal with Gap as the clothing giant’s share value plummeted after the wannabe president’s rally.
According to The Sun, Gap’s stock plunged by about 7.4 per cent on Monday after West ranted and raved in his first presidential rally and threatened to “walk away” unless he was handed a board position.
He ranted: “In risk or no risk of losing whatever deal possible, I am not on the board at Adidas.
“I am not on the board at Gap … And that has to change today, or I walk away.”
The 43-year-old Grammy-winning singer and entrepreneur announced he and Gap had signed a ten-year deal in June.
The result was a line of Yeezy apparel, and soaring share prices for the Gap ticker.
The New York Times reported at the time that “at the five-year point, Gap is hoping that Yeezy Gap will be generating $1 billion in annual sales.”
It comes as West launched an explosive Twitter tirade taking aim at Kim Kardashian and her family, after a string of claims he made during his presidential rally.
In a series of tweets that have left fans deeply concerned about his mental health, the Jesus Is King rapper accused Kardashian of trying to “lock me up with a doctor”.
“Kris and Kim, call me now,” West wrote in a since-deleted tweet aimed at his wife and her “momager”, Jenner. West took particular aim at Jenner, telling her “don’t play with me” as he unloaded against the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star. His tweets stated that his children would “never” do Playboy and he demanded that his wife and four children move to Wyoming.
“My family must live next to me,” West wrote on Twitter, as fans flooded him with messages expressing their genuine concern for his welfare.
He continued: “I put my life on my God that Norths mom would never photograph her doing playboy and that’s on God I’m at the ranch … come and get me,” West said in the Twitter, referring to his ranch in Wyoming.
West seemingly concluded the bizarre rant by saying he would “focus on the music now”, and appeared to tease the release of a new album titled Donda – named after his late mother.
A screenshot of an alleged track list included the song titles I Know God Breathed on This and Off The Grid.
West has been open about having bipolar disorder, including in his 2018 album Ye. In an interview, West said he had been diagnosed with the condition at 39. “Like I said on the album, it’s not a disability, it’s a superpower”.
In a 2019 interview with Vogue, Kardashian revealed West was not on medication for the condition “because it just changes who he is”.

“Right now everything is really calm. But we can definitely feel episodes coming, and we know how to handle them.”
Speaking to David Letterman in a Netflix special, West opened up about what he experienced during a bipolar episode.
“When you’re in this state, you’re hyper-paranoid about everything,” West said.
“Everyone — this is my experience, other people have different experiences — everyone now is an actor. Everything’s a conspiracy. You feel the government is putting chips in your head. “You feel you’re being recorded. You feel all these things,” he said. “You pretty much don’t trust anyone.”
‘SHOCKED BEYOND WORDS’
The Kardashians were left “shocked beyond words” after West claimed that he and Kim considered having an abortion when she was pregnant with their first child, North.
The Yeezy designer made the comments on Sunday local time during his first presidential rally.
He revealed that the couple considered terminating the pregnancy before West received a “message from God”.
West’s speech came two weeks after he announced that he would run for president, but his performance at the rally has left the Kardashian family upset and seriously worried about his mental state.
According to TMZ, family members are “concerned, upset, and alarmed” by West’s speech and feel he is in “desperate need of professional help” for what they perceive is a bipolar episode.
West has been open about his struggle with bipolar disorder and, in 2016, he spent time in hospital after a “psychiatric emergency” that forced him to cancel 21 concerts.
Others close to the rapper are also said to be upset that his unlikely run is becoming a “distraction to what is a very important election”.
The Kardashian family and West’s friends are also concerned about the effect remarks like his Harriet Tubman statement (during his Charleston rally West claimed the civil rights activist Tubman “didn’t free the slaves”) will have, with some believing it will “tank” his businesses and trigger boycotts, per TMZ.
The Kardashian family is also reportedly “upset” about West’s decision to make his and Kardashian’s discussion about potentially terminating her first pregnancy public.
Entertainment Tonight spoke to a source who echoed TMZ’s on Monday. “Kim, the family and Kanye’s friends are worried about him,” the source reportedly said.
“Kanye isn’t in a good place and isn’t listening to anyone trying to talk him into getting help. Kim is upset with Kanye for his rants, especially talking about the possibility of having an abortion and not giving birth to North,” the source continued.

“She knows this is something North will see when she gets older, and that’s heartbreaking.”
Tellingly, none of the famous clan – who are voracious social media users – have made any comment on West’s revelations, with Kylie Jenner the only member to post anything to Instagram over the past 24 hours.
Judging by his remarks, West knew his famous wife would not be happy.
“Even if my wife were to divorce me after this speech, she brought North into this world, when I did not want to,” he said.
West, who appeared at the rally dressed in a bulletproof vest with 2020 shaved into his hair, revealed that, in 2012, Kardashian “had the pills in her hand” to have an abortion before he was inspired by God to have the child.
“My girlfriend called me screaming, crying. I’m a rapper. I had other girlfriends. I’m out there. And she said I’m pregnant. She was crying,” he said.
West said he was thinking about what to do, when he received what he interpreted as a sign from God while he was working on his laptop in Paris.
“My screen went black and white. And God said, if you f*** with my vision I f*** with yours,” he said.
“And I called my girlfriend and said we’re going to have this child.
“Even if my wife were to divorce me after this speech, she brought North into this world, when I did not want to.”
The rapper went on to break down in tears as he shouted: “She had the pills in her hand! I almost killed my daughter!”
West also revealed that his father wanted to abort him but his mother Donda “saved” him.
“My (mother) saved my life. My dad wanted to abort me. My (mother) saved my life. There would have been no Kanye West because my dad was too busy,” he said.
West spent much of the rally discussing abortion, and announced that he wanted women to be given money by the government for bearing children, to discourage abortion.
“Abortion should be legal but the option of maximum increase should be available,’ he said.
‘Everybody who has a baby gets a million dollars or something.
“No more Plan B – Plan A.”
West went on to explain that he wanted all mothers to be free from the worries of child care before pointing out that Steve Jobs was adopted.
“Steve Jobs was adopted,’ he said.
“It takes a village to raise a child. No matter how much money you have. Society is set up for single women to not have a village.
“So I moved to a small town, in Cody, Wyoming.”
Those close to the rapper said they are also concerned that he is “tanking some of his business” with his recent speeches and could ignite boycotts.

After signing the requisite paperwork and paying his fees to the appropriate authorities last week, West made it official that he would be joining Donald Trump and Joe Biden on the ballot for US election in November.
This came after word leaked out that he was in fact dropping out of the race.
After revealing he is running for president of the United States, the father-of-four kicked off his campaign on Sunday local time to a small crowd in South Carolina where he appeared on stage without a face mask and spoke to the crowd directly without a microphone.
He also wore a protective vest.
Earlier in the day, the rapper asked fans for help, tweeting: “Hi guys please sign up to put me on the ballot in South Carolina at any of these locations,” as he also posted a list of the spots.
Kanye added: “You can also sign up at the website kanye2020.country.”
According to ABC News, anyone who attended the rally was asked to sign a COVID-19 liability release form.
Attendees were also required to social distance and wear a mask and was for “registered guests only”.
During the rally, West challenged US history, claiming that abolitionist Harriet Tubman “never actually freed the slaves.”
Tubman, who was born into slavery and helped free dozens of people from slavery in the early 1900s, West said, “never actually freed the slaves, she just had the slaves go work for other white people.”
The comments, which drew groans and boos from the crowd, bore similarity to West’s 2018 comment that “slavery was a choice.”

Despite early support from his wife, Kim Kardashian West was not present at the rally, and posted photos to Instagram celebrating a friend’s birthday during the event.
Online, the rally has drawn concern for West’s mental health and bipolar disorder, which he has spoken openly about in the past.
“Kanye is a prime example of not having enough ppl around him that care enough to tell him the truth. This shit is sad and I feel for him,” one Twitter user said following the live-streamed rally.
Comedian Janelle James agreed, tweeting, “Kanye is clearly mentally ill. Even I can’t come up with a good zinger about that. It’s all sad. Shame on everybody enabling him.”
Meghan McCain, a prominent US political commentator and daughter of the late one-time presidential candidate Senator John McCain said, “Kanye West needs serious help, not media coverage.”
The Grammy winner shocked the world when he announced his presidential dreams.
He wrote: “We must now realise the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future.
“I am running for president of the United States!”
Just a few days after his tweet, Kanye revealed his plans in a head-turning Forbes interview and explained his policies and views.
He said: “I don’t know if I would use the word policy for the way I would approach things.
“I don’t have a policy when I went to Nike and designed Yeezy and went to Louis and designed a Louis Vuitton at the same time. It wasn’t a policy, it was a design.
“We need to innovate the design to be able to free the mind at this time.”
West, who has supported Donald Trump, added that he would be running as a candidate for the “Birthday Party”- “because when we win, it’s everybody’s birthday.”
He also revealed that his running mate would be a preacher from Wyoming named Michelle Tidball.
