This Man Has Made Possibly The Scariest Halloween Costume Ever
Rambling Kanye West tweetstorms are nothing new and are usually the impetus for an amusing, distracting day on Twitter, but his most recent has left people concerned for his mental health.
Late last evening, West went on a disturbing tweetstorm where he fired off multiple tweets a minute. In the tweets, he alleged his wife Kim Kardashian attempted to have him "locked up." He appeared to take shots at Kris Jenner, tweeting, “Kriss don’t play with me you and that calmye are not allowed around me children. Y’all tried to lock me up.” He ended his tweets with "I'm at the ranch… come and get me," referring to his ranch in Wyoming. He also said the movie Get Out was about him.
While some users shared jokes and memes about the tweetstorm, as usual, West's tweets had a significant amount of fans worried about the rapper. West is known to have bi-polar disorder but is vocally resistant to medication. One Twitter user saw similarities between Kanye's situation and Etika, the streamer who took his life after months of what appeared to be a manic episode.
Don’t let Kanye become another Etika situation. Don’t laugh, don’t insult him. He needs genuine support in the ways that’ll help him with what he needs, not what he wants. If something bad happens to Kanye it’s on us

Pop star Halsey, who herself has been vocal about her struggles with bipolar disorder, shared tweets encouraging people to be silent if they had nothing encouraging to say.
No jokes right now. I have dedicated my career to offering education and insight about bipolar disorder and I’m so disturbed by what I’m seeing. Personal opinions about someone aside, a manic episode isnt a joke. If you can’t offer understanding or sympathy, offer your silence.

If you wanna think someone is an asshole, go ahead. Lots of people with mental illnesses are great. Lots of them are assholes. Because they are people. With nuanced personalities. But making jokes specifically targeted towards bipolar hurts more than the 1 person ur angry with.

West has publically had bouts with mental health in the past. In 2016, he canceled several dates on his Saint Pablo tour due to what dispatchers called a psychiatric emergency.
This afternoon, West tweeted a video on his ranch with Dave Chappelle, who evidently flew to West's ranch to check on him.
