Kanye West Was Suicidal After Mother's Death & Taylor Swift Incident

Kanye West has revealed that he was suicidal after the death of his mother in 2007.

The rapper became emotional during a performance of 'Made It In America' at a 'Watch The Throne' concert and took some time to share his tragic experience with the audience. Kanye revealed that he began to lose control of his life following the death of his mother four years ago, as he did not allow himself time to grieve.

Yeezy then went on to say that it was not until the Taylor Swift incident and receiving backlash over other public outbursts, that he realised he needed to step away from the spotlight.

"People tell you to always be humble, humble, humble, [but] when's the last time anyone told you to be amazing, great, or awesome," Yeezy said according to Hollyscoop.

"I will not give up on life again.Theres so many people that will never get the chance to have their voice heard... I do it for them," he added.
