Kayne West was scheduled to give a TimesTalk on mental health with his friend and past interviewer Charlamagne Tha God at New York’s Town Hall on Wednesday night.
However, Charlemagne posted on social media Monday morning that the talk scheduled for Oct.17 has been cancelled.
“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 to instagram.
“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.- ME.”
West, has admitted in the past that he is bipolar, and said several times that he has stopped taking medication intended to stabilize his condition.
Given his recent behavior change, he has made many confusing and contradictory statements over the past few weeks, including ones during a conference with Trump on Thursday Variety reports and a series of free-associative videos posted from Uganda, where he is currently working on his delayed next album, “Yandhi” — the cancellation is not entirely surprising.
West had not responded publicly to the cancellation. After briefly deleting his social media accounts last week, but have rejoined Twitter.
