Kanye West’s mental health talk has been cancelled.
Charlamagne Tha God announced that he has postponed his TimesTalk with the rapper – who has previously opened up about his battle with mental health – as he thought having a conversation with the 41-year-old musician wouldn’t "be productive".
Charlamagne wrote on social media: "Normalizing being mentally healthy is a conversation that I really wanted to have with Kanye because he’s been so vocal about his own mental health struggles. Unfortunately I think to have that conversation with him right now would not be productive and a total distraction from the point of the convo which is to eradicate the stigma of mental health especially in the black community (sic)"
The decision to cancel the talk – scheduled for Wednesday (17.10.18) – comes a couple of days after Kayne, who is married to Kim Kardashian West, met with President Donald Trump at the White House, wearing a hat emblazoned with Trump’s slogan ‘Make America Great Again’.
Explaining why he wore the controversial hat during his visit, Kanye said: "You know, they tried to scare me to not wear this hat – my own friends. But this hat, it gives me – it gives me power, in a way. You know, my dad and my mom separated, so I didn’t have a lot of male energy in my home. And also, I’m married to a family that – you know, not a lot of male energy going on.
"It’s beautiful, though, but there’s times where, you know, there’s something about– you know, I love Hillary [Clinton]. I love everyone, right? But the campaign ‘I’m with her’ just didn’t make me feel, as a guy, that didn’t get to my dad all the time – like a guy that could play catch with his son."
