Kanye West is no stranger to Twitter rants, but his latest tweets have sparked concern and led wife Kim Kardashian to publicly address his bipolar disorder. Here's everything he's said so far, and why the world is worried about his health.

When Kanye West's Twitter rant began

The Grammy winner began his Twitter spree Monday, July 20, following his presidential campaign rally in South Carolina. During the political event Sunday, the 43-year-old performer revealed that he and Kardashian West had "talked about" aborting their first child, North West.

“So even if my wife were to divorce me after this speech, she brought North into the world, even when I didn’t want to,” West, who announced his 2020 presidential bid on the Fourth of July, said (via USA Today) at his rally July 19. “She stood up, and she protected that child.”

The singer revealed that his dad "wanted to abort" him, but his late mother Donda "saved" his life. "There would have been no Kanye West, because my dad was too busy," he cried. "I almost killed my daughter."

It's worth noting that West's new album DONDA, named after his late mother whose birthday recently passed (July 12), is set to be released Friday, July 24.

Kanye West's claims against wife Kim Kardashian West

One day after the rally, West took to Twitter claiming that the KKW Beauty mogul was trying to “lock” him up after his public remarks about their daughter North. “Kim was trying to fly to Wyoming with a doctor to lock me up like on the movie Get Out because I cried about saving my daughters life yesterday,” he wrote.

"Kim tried to bring a doctor to lock me up with a doctor,” West claimed in another tweet. “If I get locked up like Mandela Ya'll will know why.”

The dad of four seemingly referenced his wife's 2007 Playboy shoot declaring that his kids  “will never do playboy.” "I put my life on my God that Norths mom would never photograph her doing playboy and that's on God I'm at the ranch...come and get me," he asserted.

Kanye West's tweets about Kris Jenner

In addition to his wife, West took aim at his mother-in-law Kris Jenner claiming that the Kardashian matriarch is not allowed around his four childrenNorth, 7, Saint, 4, Chicago, 2, and Psalm, 14 months. "Kriss don’t play with me you and that calmye are not allowed around my children Ya’ll tried to lock me up," he stated.

The "Love Lockdown" singer also shared what appeared to be a screenshot of a text conversation with Jenner that read: "This is Ye. You ready to talk now. Or are still avoiding my calls." In another tweet, West asked his wife and mother-in-law to "call me now."

Kanye West's tweets about E!, NBC and other celebrities

Despite his claims that Kardashian West tried to lock him up, West professed his love for his wife, while noting that E! and NBC, the network behind Keeping Up with the Kardashians, can no longer determine where his family resides. "I love my wife. My family must live next to me. It’s not up to E or NBC anymore," he alleged.

Actor Shia LaBeouf and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour were also mentioned in West's series of tweets on Monday. The "Famous" artist, who struck a 10-year deal for a Yeezy Gap line in June, accused LaBeouf of not showing up to the first YZY Gap shoot, while he said Wintour "showed me love but when I told her I was going to GAP she looked at me like I was crazy Then she called back kissing my a*s."

West concluded his initial rant saying that he was going to "focus on the music now."

Kanye West's divorce claims

The designer embarked on another Twitter spree Tuesday, revealing that he's been trying to divorce Kardashian West ever since she spoke to rapper Meek Mill at a 2018 criminal justice reform summit. "I've been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf for 'prison reform," West tweeted. "Meek is my man and was respectful That's my dog Kim was out of line I'm worth 5 billion dollars and more than that through Christ But ya'll ain't listen to MJ and now ya'll believe them???"

Kanye West's second Twitter rant

West called his mother-in-law "Kris Jong-Un" in one post, and seemingly accused Jenner and Kardashian West of "White Supremacy." "Kriss and Kim put out a statement without my approval … that’s not what a wife should do White supremacy," he tweeted.

West went on to allege that "they tried to fly in with 2 doctors to 51/50 me," referring to California's Welfare and Institutions Code, which allows a person, who as a result of a mental health disorder is a danger to others, or themselves, to be involuntarily detained for a 72-hour psychiatric hospitalization.

Kardashian West broke her silence on West's troubling tweets Wednesday explaining that she felt compelled to comment "because of the stigma and misconception about mental health."

"Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor,” she said in her statement. “People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.”

The reality star praised her husband as a “brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, and has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bi-polar disorder.”

Kardashian West asked the media and public to give them the "compassion and empathy that is needed so that we can get through this."
