Kanye West claimed he’s autistic in a new text to Elon Musk.
The Yeezy fashion designer requested his friend Ian Connor share screenshots on Instagram of his purported messages to the Tesla co-founder, in which he also declared he is not bipolar.
When are we going to speak You owe me nothing,” the texts, posted early Wednesday, began.
“You never have to speak to me again But if we do speak The nature of the relationship has to change I’m not bipolar I have signs of autism from my [2002] car accident,” he said, referring to his famous crash that led to his hit song “Through the Wire” in which he rapped with his jaw wired shut.
West, 46, first revealed he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2018 but years later claimed during a Twitter tirade that he was “mentally misdiagnosed.”
So I will say this again I was mentally misdiagnosed and nearly drugged out of my mind to make me a manageable well behaved celebrity,” he tweeted in 2022.
