After he accused his ex-wife Kim Kardashian of sex trafficking their children, the artist formerly known as Kanye West has claimed that people are trying to get him committed to a hospital.

"I've been asked to go the hospital," Ye wrote in all-caps. "So let me get this right. I'm not allowed to speak out loud. And why would I be asked to go to the hospital after what I've said today."

He followed up the X post by retweeting a person who suggested that people want Ye hospitalized so they can give him a "lobotomy," an outdated surgical procedure that was used to treat mental illness.

In a video amid his latest bizarre and erratic posts, Ye said that he's been "expressing" himself via X, formerly Twitter, and has found it "therapeutic."

He then complained about people, including frequent collaborator John Legend, distancing themselves from him after he embraced President Donald Trump. In the clip, Ye appears to bounce from subject to subject, sometimes mid-sentence, and struggles to look at the camera for an extended time.

He concluded the video by saying he had some "familiar faces" coming to visit him and suggesting he go on "a retreat," which he believed was a euphemism for a hospital.

He then shared a screenshot of messages with an unidentified person. "I got the knock on the door after I called out the sex trafficking," he wrote in his side of the message, after which the other person told Ye to check into a hotel he doesn't "normally stay at."

"There are people all over the city who get a check one way or another from that family," the person told Ye, possibly referring to the Kardashians. "Just be careful for a couple nights."

To drive home his claims, he posted a link to Privé-Swiss, a company that offers "luxury" mental health retreats.

"This is where they want to put me," he said alongside the link. Programs the company offers include an Anxiety Wellness Immersion Program and a Mental Health Immersion Weekend.

Ye's posts claiming people are trying to hospitalize him come not long after he accused his ex-wife and her family of being sex traffickers.

"The Kardashians are sex workers and they sex traffic all of the black children they strategically produce," he wrote in all-caps. "Kim Kardashian is a sex trafficker."

Sources recently told TMZ that Kim and Ye had an emergency meeting last week while their daughter, North West, was spending time with her father.

Kardashian was reportedly informed that misogynist influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate would also be present with Ye, and she abruptly canceled North's visit with her father.
