Kanye West was absent from the 59th edition of the Grammy Awards. Back in November, he was hospitalized after suffering from exhaustion and sleep deprivation according to reports. Now according to a personal friend of Kanye, Malik Yusef, his condition has been positive and improving of late.
“I’ve been to his house sat down with him for about six, seven hours just walking through his health and recovery. His memory is coming back, which is super good. He’s just healing, spending time with his family. Saint is getting big and is walking, playing with toys, so that invigorates him.”
Yusef, is a music collaborator who has worked with Kanye on several singles dating back to the early 2000’s. The news comes as a great sign for anyone who’s followed Kanye through the years. Mental illness has been a major issue yet somewhat taboo for men especially in the black community. His hardships have been well documented, it’s great to see Kanye take time to improve himself.
Also of note, he stated Kanye is not working on any new music at the moment.
