Kanye West’s mother’s death affected his mental health – John Legend claims

American singer John Legend has shared his thoughts about his former friend Kanye West.

Kanye West has openly talked about his experiences with bipolar disorder and autism, expressing his belief that he was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder.

This has sparked discussions about how his mental health may influence his behaviour and public statements.

Joining the discussion in a recent interview with The Times, Jonn Legend suggested that the death of Kanye’s mother affected the rapper’s mental health.

Legend noted that Ye’s descent started after his mother passed in 2007, noting that his mental health has continued to deteriorate ever since then.

However, the ‘All of Me’ hitmaker stated that he isn’t qualified to psychoanalyse Kanye West.

“It does feel sad, sometimes shocking, to see where he [Kanye West] is now… I didn’t see a hint of what we are seeing now, his obsessions with antisemitism, anti-blackness, and it is sad to see his devolution,” John Legend said.

“But, I don’t think we are qualified to psychoanalyse him, but after his mother passed in 2007 there was definitely a difference. His descent started then and seems to have accelerated recently,” he added.
