Charlamagne tha God Cancels Mental Health TimesTalk with Kanye West

*Charlamagne tha God has canceled a New York Times event where he and Kanye West were set to have a mental health discussion. The Radio personality says “Unfortunately I think to have that conversation with him [Ye] right now would not be productive,” CBS News reports.

Charlamagne announced on Instagram that he was canceling the live interview, saying it would have been “a total distraction” from the point of the conversation.  

“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,” he wrote. “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.”

Last week, West took his pro-Trump MAGA-loving rants to the White House, where he refuted his previous bipolar disorder diagnosis.

“I wasn’t actually bipolar. I had sleep deprivation which can cause dementia 10 to 20 years from now when I wouldn’t even remember my son’s name,” he said.

In April, Charlamagne interviewed West for nearly two hours and the rap star discussed the mental breakdown he had in 2016 that led to his hospitalization.

“I think I’m in a stronger place than I ever was after the breakdown or, as I like to say, the breakthrough,” Ye said.

On Saturday, West tweeted a video about “mind control” and said, “You know, when people try to influence you through social media and try to tell you what to do or if you post something that’s positive on Instagram and it gets taken down if it’s not part of a bigger agenda, you know, that’s like mind control. That’s the echo chamber. That’s trying to control you based off of incentivizing you and based off of you getting enough likes, and that’s the poison that’s happening with social media.”
