Kanye West has always been one of the most controversial figures in pop culture. From his groundbreaking music to his outlandish behavior, he has kept fans and critics talking for many years. However, in recent years, his mental health struggles and impulsive social media activity have made it hard to separate genius from his recklessness.

Kanye has openly spoken about his unfortunate battle with bipolar disorder. In a 2019 interview with David Letterman, he explained how the disorder affects his thinking and behavior, often leading to manic episodes. He has even referenced his mental health in his music, like in Ye (2018), where he rapped about the ups and downs of his condition.

However, despite his awareness, Kanye often refuses to take medication, stating it dulls his creativity. This led to multiple public breakdowns, including his infamous 2020 presidential run, where he cried on stage while discussing his family matters.

In 2024-25, Kanye has continued his pattern of erratic online behavior. He has repeatedly used social media to attack celebrities, former business partners, and even his own family. In early 2024, he posted a series of offensive messages, leading to many bans on social media platforms.

One of the most shocking incidents in recent months was his public feud with Adidas. After previously losing his Yeezy deal due to some antisemitic remarks in 2022, Kanye took to social media again in late 2024 to accuse Adidas of “stealing” his designs. Instead of handling the issues privately, he posted personal emails and made wild accusations, further damaging his professional relationships.

Another example of his reckless posting came when he shared false conspiracy theories about major world events. This led to backlash from fans and public figures, with many urging him to seek professional help. Then, very recently this year, Kanye even impulsively responded to a fan’s tweet that said, “Kanye can end Carti’s career fr, but he won’t do it,” and Kanye proceeded to reply, “I will, and I am going to.”

Kanye’s recent outburst shows a pattern of immaturity. Whether it’s his public feuds, inability to take responsibility, or refusal to think before speaking, he continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Despite all the controversy, Kanye still has loyal fans who believe he is just misunderstood. Some argue that his mental health struggles should be treated with more compassion rather than criticism. Others believe Kanye uses his condition as an excuse for attention-seeking behavior and clout or popularity. Now, we can only ask whether he will ever take responsibility for his actions. Does he see any wrong in himself? Until he acknowledges the consequences of his behavior, his reputation will continue to suffer immensely, no matter how talented he is.

For now, he will remain one of the most unpredictable and controversial figures in entertainment. So, the world will still be watching whether he learns from his mistakes or continues his impulsive behavior.
