The American rapper has opened up about struggles with suicidal thoughts on Twitter after watching the documentary McQueen, which is about the life and death of the British fashion designer Alexander McQueen.
McQueen
was considered to be one of the top designers when he committed
suicide at the age of 40 in 2010. West said he understood why McQueen
took his own life. He said that after watching the documentary, he
felt connected with McQueen’s journey. He revealed that he knows
how it feels to want to take your life back into your own hands even
if it means taking your own life.
He
has had these types of thoughts before, as he mentioned on Twitter,
and even offered some advice to his fans to keep one mentally
balanced. He suggested that one should stay away from people who make
you feel like killing yourself.
The
Runaway hit maker is married to Kim Kardashian and has three
children: North, five, Saint, two, and Chicago, six months. It is not
the first time he has discussed his battle with suicidal thoughts.
While
speaking to the New York Times in June, he revealed he often
considered killing himself. He said that suicide is always an option
for him. He decided not to go with it after thinking it through. He
also mentioned his motivational guru, Tony Robbins who helped him
through some hard phases. At times, Kanye’s confidence level would
come crashing down, but Tony would always know whenever Kanye was
feeling down.
