Kanye West: “They were wrong diagnosis, I'm not bipolar, but autistic”

In the past few hours Kanye West, after another rather absurd day on Instagram, published the awaited interview with Justin Laboy. The two sat together to chat around some dear to Kanye like his new music, mental health, the Beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

YE began confirmed the exit of Bully For June, placing his daughter North West's birthday as possible date on the 15th day. The title, which instead seemed to be a clear reference to his online attitudes, comes from a family episode. Saint, one of the children of Kanye and Kim Kardashian, would have affected a schoolmate of his. Asked by his father he would have given as a motivation: “He is a weak”. “My son has the mentality of a bully,” said the rapper laughing.

However, the album should not be hard or dark, Ye preferred to write on “very positive texts, such as the masterpieces of Lauryn Hill. It will be mine The miseducation of Lauryn HillI'm on another frequency now ».

The conversation then moved to the use of IA applied to music, a very hot topic. Kanye expressed himself in favor: «For us who grew up by sampling, the IA is a dream. Except that now he has a worst press than what Auto-Tune had at the time. You know, I started using Auto-Tune because everyone said it was shit and I wanted to show that as an artist I could do everything I wanted ».

Returning instead to his mental health, Kanye surprised Laboy explaining that the diagnosis of bipolarism he received was wrong. «My wife wanted me to make other visits because she knew other bipolar and I was different to her, there was something that did not come back. And in fact they discovered that it was not bipolarism, but a specific case of autism, stuff to Rain Man. This is why I always feel the need to do the opposite of what my fans, or people, would like to me ».

When asked if it takes drugs, the answer was: «No, I stopped since I understood that the diagnosis on bipolarism was wrong. The problem is to find something that does not block creativity ».

Kanye also returned to the Beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake: «When Kendrick killed Drake killed my Nemesis. And what movie can I do if there is no drake for me? ». But when asked if Drake was over, the answer was more cautious: «Yes, but for now. You don't have to rant at Kendrick Lamar, unless you are a psychopathic genius like me ».
