D.L. Hughley recently came after Kanye West in a new interview, claiming that he’s using his mental illness when it “serves his purpose.”

On Fanroom Live, D.L. acknowledged how “devastating” mental health issues are to the Black community. Of course, Kanye revealed he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2018. His wife Kim Kardashian affirmed the diagnosis recently.

“There is no doubt that he suffers from some level of mental illness, but it isn’t why he’s misogynistic, it isn’t why he’s disrespectful to our history,” D.L. said. “Kanye West, you don’t have to be mentally ill to put an asterisk on slavery and he consistently does it whether it’s Harriet Tubman, when he denigrated her, whether he’s talking about slaves.”

“He’s not so mentally ill that he’ll talk about any other group of people,” he continued. “He talks about people that he knows he can get away with, and then he’s not so ill that he’s trying to be a disruptor in the political form. He’s not so ill that he takes $5 million in PPP payments, so he seems to be conveniently ill when it serves his purpose.”

As we all know, Kanye is running for president in 2020.

God help us all… but like D.L. says, mental illness is a serious thing and should be taken seriously.
