*Charlamagne tha God wants folks to ease up on Kanye West a little.
“The Breakfast Club” co-host discussed the troubled rapper’s recent controversial behavior with Buzzfeed’s “The Profile” on Sunday, and said he wished people would try to understand West a little more.
“I think we’re all wack and we’re all hypocrites. I think we all contradict ourselves because we see a guy sitting there, screaming that he may have mental health issues, but everyone wants to cancel him,” he told host Audie Cornish. “They’re not being empathetic to the fact that he really may be going through some things.”

Charlamagne agrees that Ye needs help but noted that people are paying too much attention to what West is saying and not the reasons why.
“I can’t even take anything that he’s saying serious. He’s clearly telling us that something is wrong,” he said. “So it’s like, why are we putting so much stock in anything that’s coming out of his mouth when he’s telling us something is wrong?”
He also made clear that “everybody supporting Donald Trump” needs a mental evaluation.
“Yo, I think everybody supporting Donald Trump is dealing with some type of mental health issue,” he joked.
Earlier this month, Charlamagne canceled a scheduled TimesTalk sit down with West about mental illness. He thinks it would have been a vital conversation to have but Kanye’s recent antics would have taken away from the point of the meeting.
“I’m like, Yeah, I don’t think now would be the time to have the conversation,” he told “The Profile.” “He has some things he still needs to figure out. Plus, I thought it would be a distraction.”
