Source: NBC

Kanye West was under observation at a Los Angeles area hospital late Monday after the remaining dates of his national tour were abruptly canceled, multiple authorities familiar with the case told NBC News.

The admission followed a week of bizarre incidents during which the provocative rapper publicly railed against fellow music stars Beyoncé and Jay Z and retroactively endorsed President-elect Donald Trump.

A source familiar with the case said Los Angeles police responded to a medical welfare call about 1:20 p.m. (4:20 p.m. ET). No criminal activity was involved; the decision to hospitalize West was for his own health and safety, the sources said.

1. Did the doctors remove

a trump surrogate's hand from up his ass?

[octoberlib]

3. No, Kanye's in the psychiatric ward at UCLA.

He's needed help for a loooong time. I wouldn't put it past Trump to contact him though.

[SunSeeker]

2. Oh I see, he's going to blame his Trump worship on intoxication.

Not buying it. Booze/drugs only allow out what is already there.

4. Kanye's always been an asshole

but it's being reported he's in the psych ward at UCLA. I've heard rumors he's bi-polar , don't know if it's true, though.

5. Something along those lines would make sense.

[msongs]

6. not lbn nt

[Demonaut]

7. not IRN. "important relevant news"

[JI7]

8. Did this behavior start after his wife was held up ?

[octoberlib]

9. I can remember bizarre rants on Twitter before all that happened

but not ranting at the audience and canceling shows. It's definitely escalated.

13. I read he was being evaluated for sleep deprivation, and it's gotten worse since

her ordeal. She used to go with him on tour, and apparently he is missing her and worried while he's gone.

I know he's always borderline bizarre, but sleep deprivation is no joke.

21. all that coke can keep a person up at night for sure

[R B Garr]

23. lol, it sure seems like it may be something like that.

Drugs do that, no doubt.

20. my hypothesis is Kanye sent some friends to hold her up

He is clearly batshit crazy on drugs so he could do anything. I don't know why the gorgeous rich Kardashian women can't select a decent man.

10. Glad he's getting help

And sheesh what a year Kim's had. I wouldn't want to go through what's dealt with this year for all the tea in China.

11. Under this circumstance I would expect

insurance to indemnify those who lost money, including him.

[FrenchieCat]

12. He's probably been taking those new street drugs....

14. Didn't he have a head injury this past summer?

I don't follow the Kardashians or Kanye, but there was a really moving column in the LA Times that caught my eye, about the estranged husband of one of the Kardashians being critically injured, how she rushed to his side in great reality tv drama, and vowed to see him restored to health... The columnist said getting hooked up with the Kardashians in the first place had been the ruination of the poor man, and he didn't hold out much hope for his prospects if his wife returned to take control of his life.

Sorry if I've got the wrong pair, but when I read here about Kanye having public meltdowns, I remembered that.

15. Lamar Odom, estranged husband of Khloe Kardashian, overdosed in Nevada.

That was about a year ago.

Lamar Odom is an ex-Laker during their last championship run and I started watching the Kardashians years ago when their wedding was talked about a lot in the Los Angeles/Orange County area, so I started watching because of that. I mostly watch now because I like to see where they film around here -- I recognize many of the film locations and like to see what restaurants they go to. I feel like I have to confess why I watch them.... My husband grumbles whenever he sees the recordings on the VCR...

I actually have to hand it to the mother, Kris Jenner. She has built quite a media empire. Good for her!

[Hekate]

16. Thanks so much for the correction. It's been bugging the heck out of me for some reason.

You go ahead with your guilty pleasure -- I'll come to you for pop culture references.

[R B Garr]

24. Sure, although I usually only watch the local shows so I can see the filming locations.

And I meant DVR since I haven't had a VCR for about 10 years.

It is a guilty pleasure though since I don't know too many people who watch it.

17. Imma let you finish, octoberlib,

but David Bowie's death was a much bigger story!

[octoberlib]

18. I agree totally. I'm a HUGE fan of David Bowie and have been

since I was 14. I just thought the Kanye story was interesting because I've thought for awhile now that he needed psychiatric help.

[Quackers]

19. I see what you did there. nt

22. I guess he won't be interrupting more of Taylor's awards, now that Beyonce

and Jay Z are on his target list
