Kanye West fires manager over mental health controversy

As concerns for his mental health triggers, Kanye West returns to making headlines as the rapper calls it quits with his co-manager Scooter Braun, just weeks after parting ways with his longtime manager Izvor ‘Izzy’ Zivkovic.   

West dramatically fired Braun and others in his inner circle including music lawyers Howard King and Peter Paterno, after allegedly requesting them to work full time with him or they step aside, with this request, they decided to end their jobs.

This is coming just after West announced he’s set to drop five new albums on twitter, making the rumours about Yeezy’s mental health intense online and that he could be suffering from another mental breakdown.

In 2016, Kanye West cancelled 21 tour dates after suffering a “nervous breakdown,” but these change in his inner camp are causing new fears as a “friend” claimed West had been addicted to opioids.

On Monday, Hot 97 host Ebro Darden told listeners that he had spoken with West this weekend, and West allegedly got candid about his opioids crisis, saying, “Nobody really showed love for me when I was addicted to opioids and in the hospital.”
