LOS ANGELES >> The Los Angeles Police Department visited Kanye West as part of a disturbance call today, according to law enforcement sources, a day after the rapper abruptly canceled the rest of his tour.
The sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, did not provide details about the incident but confirmed that police were called about 1:20 p.m. The case turned into a “medical emergency” and was handed off from the LAPD to the Los Angeles Fire Department, the sources said.
West agreed to seek medical treatment, a law enforcement source said.
The incident comes at a turbulent period for West, who walked off the stage three songs into his Saturday night concert in Sacramento and canceled Sunday’s concert at the Forum in Inglewood three hours before showtime.
On Saturday, West ranted about a few longtime friends and acquaintances, including Jay Z, Beyonce and Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg.
“I’ve been sent here to give y’all my truth, even at the risk of my own life,” West said on Saturday night. “At the risk of my own success. I’ll give y’all the truth. Jay Z, call me, you still ain’t called me. … Jay Z, I know you got killers. Please don’t send them at my head. Just call me. Talk to me like a man.”

The treatment this guy needs is for his mental health.
Totally agree…
never too late to seek help. good luck.
Given how Trump did, sounds like Kanye would be a perfect presidential candidate.
agree. He was always a talentless, foul-mouthed negative figure. My students want something better to admire.
Low-life rapper, like most of them.
A very successful artist who goes against the grain and is a Trump supporter?? Lock him up quick!
Too bad he didn’t run in this election-he may have had a chance winning it> NOT!
Why not Kanye? Does if have less experience than Trump? Is he not able to rattle off some off the chain nonsense like Trump? Does he posses the celebrity status in America like Trump? Would he not connect with the Millennials that were sought after by both parties? Is his knowledge of the inner workings of government not equal to Trump? Who gets more excitable than Kanye, you don’t think his message of anti-government wouldn’t be accepted like Trump’s was? He has a smokin’ wife like Trump? He has his share of sexual deviance that Trump has? The only difference I can see that would cause you to say he had no chance for President is the color skin. #MAGA
The people at Kaneohe miss you. You need to turn yourself in.
jusris is to kanye as liberal is to butt hurt. Yes! They both need some deep mental care attention.

The black man was a white man the last time.
Hey Bombay! Time to lay off the bhang.
The Khardashians wreck all of their men. What a sad bunch.
I know, look what they did to Bruce Jenner.
Do we care? They get what they deserve. Mankind is better off without them.
Can someone take this guy out? Like maybe Tupac style? I wish Snoop Dog would kick Kanye West’s silly asz up and down Las Vegas Boulevard. I’d leave the blackjack table to see that.
I think he has had a mental illness for quite a while and I am sure the alcohol and drugs don’t help.
he should be treated for LOT…lack of talent
Doesn’t say a whole lot for his legions of adoring fans.
you said it, not me.
I feel bad for Kanye, but ya know, his behavior only puts him at about 1/10 of a standard deviation from the mean of Trump supporters.
Man up, Jay-Z, do what you gotta do.
poor butt hurt liberal loser. you’ll get over it one day.
Hanabata,
It might be therapeutic for you to listen to the Eagles’ “Get Over It” a few thousand times. Try it and see.

He caught insanity from his wife’s family.
West is a psychiatric emergency!
