After a social media hiatus, Kanye West made his return to Twitter earlier this month.
It’s been a busy year for the star and his wife Kim Kardashian, who welcomed their third child, a daughter, via a surrogate in January.
Since his Twitter return, Kanye has posted a number of tweets of a philosophical nature – with wife Kim and Chrissy Teigen roasting him for writing ‘sometimes you have to get rid of everything’ last week.
But when news broke yesterday that the rapper had fired his manager as well as other members of his team, several news outlets reported on ‘concerns’ for his mental health.
In response, Kim Kardashian has now posted a strong statement to Twitter criticizing said outlets.

To the media trying to demonize my husband let me just say this… your commentary on Kanye being erratic & his tweets being disturbing is actually scary. So quick to label him as having mental health issues for just being himself when he has always been expressive is not fair
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018
Yesterday it was announced that Kanye had parted ways with some business people and media outlets made this about Kanye’s mental health. Rather than just a simple business decision. So I’m glad he tweeted about the state of his company and all of the exciting things happening

He’s a free thinker, is that not allowed in America? Because some of his ideas differ from yours you have to throw in the mental health card? That’s just not fair. He’s actually out of the sunken place when he’s being himself which is very expressive

She then went on to address the comments surrounding his positive tweets about current US President, Donald Trump.
Now when he spoke out about Trump… Most people (including myself) have very different feelings & opinions about this. But this is HIS opinion. I believe in people being able to have their own opinions,even if really different from mine
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018
He never said he agrees with his politics
Kanye will never run in the race of popular opinion and we know that and that’s why I love him and respect him and in a few years when someone else says the same exact thing but they aren’t labeled the way he is and you will all praise them! Kanye is years ahead of his time
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018
Mental Health is no joke and the media needs to stop spitting that out so casually. Bottom line
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018
We have to agree with Kim’s comments – Kanye, much like his wife, has always been one to speak his mind, and mental health is a complex issue that shouldn’t be handled lightly.
