So Kanye West is definitely in a psych ward somewhere. I guess his doctor told TMZ (barf!) that he was suffering from a "temporary psychosis" due to lack of sleep and nutrition.

That means he's not just "hospitalized for exhaustion," (that's not actually a thing... not a thing people spend a week in the hospital for anyway), but most likely under someone else's orders — doctor, family member — to be where he is, so we can safely assume he's getting a lot of Valium and maybe Thorazine.

There are some downright mean little "meme wisdom" accusations being thrown around on social media. One of them shows a pic of Kanye and a pic of Lemmy from Motörhead and says something like "so 39 year old kanye west canceled his tour after quitting a show after four songs and checked himself into the hospital, while Lemmy battled brain tumours and (other stuff) and (other stuff) and still played until his last show at age 70. Who's the 'greatest artist alive?'"

Fuck that shit. It doesn't even make any sense. It's not even an analagous situation. Also, by that logic everyone who has ever ended or even PAUSED their recoerding/touring activity before DEATH is somehow not doing right by the world. You can throw the Beatles, Kurt Cobain, Kate Bush, Michael Jackson, Prince, and even fucking Lemmy into that pile if that's the line of reasoning your using.

People are also shouting "cocaine! Meth!" which is equally absurd as there is no evidence of this. It's insulting to anyone struggling with a mental health issue, and it also makes no sense in the context of the pop culture argument (Lemmy used shit tons of speed, and he's apparently the golden standard.)

I urge you to call out any friends you have who may be posting bullsht like this and to alert them to the implications of their "argument" while also encouraging everyone you know to STOP. USING. MEMES. as they represent the death of knowledge, and they are chief dissemination device of dipshit asswad morons.

For what it's worth, I saw Kanye not not two months ago and he carried a 2-hour show by himself with no opening act and nobody else on stage. Everyone is getting their money back for the cancelled shows.

Chance just cancelled a tour too, but nobody's calling him a bitch about it.

I fucking hate people.
