Kanye West Hospitalised ‘for psychiatric evaluation’following his cancellation of the Saint Pablo tour after epic on stage tirade.
The American rapper Kanye West angered fans after walking out of his concert after performing only three songs.The news came just hours after the controversial rapper canceled the remaining 21 dates in his Saint Pablo tour and launching a verbal attack on Jay Z and Beyonce.
Police responded to a call about a “disturbance” around 1:20 PM Pacific Time (9.20pm GMT) at the home of West’s trainer Harley Pasternak. When they arrived the incident was then deemed to be a “medical emergency.”Sources connected to Kanye told the site the fashion designer was getting checked out by one of his doctors for severe sleep deprivation when police were first called.
NBC reports that Kanye was then taken to UCLA Medical Center in the city “for his own health and safety”.Gossip site site TMZ reported that the rapper had to be handcuffed to a stretcher while he was transported to the hospital.
Earlier today, a source close to the star told the New York Post, “He’s having a nervous breakdown. He’s surrounded by all these crazy people, but there’s nobody he listens to or who can rein him in. He’s spiralling further and further out of control… he is becoming more and more unpredictable.”
Another source claimed Kanye was burned out from juggling fashion line and music. “He’s just exhausted. He’s been working around the clock on fashion design… balancing both that work and the rigours of the tour every night . . . really wore him out.”Last month Kanye fired thirty of his fashion label’s staff after a “massive meltdown” following the poor critical reception of the chaotic launch of Yeezy Season 4.

Los Angeles Times’ music writer Gerrick Kennedy wrote: “Just got word from a source that @kanyewest informed his crew that remaining dates of US #SaintPabloTour are nixed.”
Kanye shocked fans last night when he arrived an hour late onstage and after three songs began his most Kanye rant to date.
He complained about the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, saying: “Beyoncé, I was hurt because I heard that you said you wouldn’t perform unless you won Video of the Year over me and over Hotling Bling.”

He said Beyoncé was “great” but added: “Sometimes we be playing the politics too much and forget who we are just to win. F*** winning, f*** looking cool. F*** looking cool. F*** being cool.”
Turning the subject of, supposed best friend, Jay Z, he continued: “Call me, brah, you still ain’t call me.
“Jay Z, I know you got killers, please don’t send them at my head. Just call me. Talk to me like a man.”
