*Iyanla Vanzant is ready to have a “Fix My Life” moment with Kanye West.
The rapper’s ongoing Twitter rants and meltdowns have the inspirational speaker concerned, and while she doesn’t have any advice for ‘Ye, she did reveal to Hip Hollywood that “she prays for him and believes his condition is more serious” than people realize.
“I see something there that represents an imbalance,” Vanzant revealed. “We’ve seen this before, we watched it with Whitney, we watched it with Michael (Jackson), we watched it with Phyllis Hyman. We watch this over and over and we turn our face (thinking) OK somebody will deal with it. No, we need to deal with it. But, we can’t deal with it unless he’s willing.”

West’s bizarre outbursts and obnoxious behavior caused songwriter Rhymefest to take to social media and advise Kanye to seek mental health treatment, ASAP! Earlier this month, the former Kanye co-writer expressed his deep concern for Kanye’s sanity, and said the ego-driven madman should to go counseling. Rhymefest has worked with Kanye extensively over the years, co-writing many of the rapper’s his, such as “Jesus Walks” and “New Slaves.” Their partnership ended in January 2016.
Kanye’s recent music effort “The Life of Pablo” didn’t break the music charts, so he’s already announced the title of his next project, “Turbo Grafx 16.” TLOP went through numerous name changes – “Swish,” “Waves,” and “So Help Me God” – before he settled on the final title. It’s likely “Turbo Grafx 16″ is simply a working title.
“Just on some super nerd vibes… one of my favorite gaming systems when I was a kid…,” West wrote, adding that “Blazing Lazers” was one of his favorite games.
Iyanla is frequently featured as guest teacher of Oprah’s Lifeclass on OWN. In 2000, she was named one of the “100 most influential Black Americans” by Ebony magazine, which said that “Her books, lectures and television appearances have made her a multimedia high priestess of healthy relationships.”
