Being Bipolar is Not an Excuse
Should Kanye West’s bad behaviors be excused because he’s bipolar? I would have said yes if he were cooperating to get treated. But he goes off his meds now and then and continues to behave in a detrimental way to himself and those around him. Some people even say that it makes you think he wouldn’t even be a decent person if he weren’t bipolar.
Many celebrities in the hip-hop industry are problematic, and Kanye just happens to be one of them. It’s hard to say if his problematic behavior is because he’s bipolar; since being bipolar doesn’t automatically mean ‘ill-behaved.’ Most of his fans claim he needs to stop running away from help and work on his narcissistic personality, which has nothing to do with being bipolar.
