The 44-year-old rap star has opened up about his mental health struggles in his new Netflix documentary, 'Jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy', revealing he told Kid Cudi about his mental health and substance abuse issues during a recording session in 2018, reports femalefirst.co.uk.


Kanye shared: "Even me, when I already had the house and the wife and the kids and the plaques... (I) would still have moments where I felt like, suicidal, would still have moments where I'm addicted to Percocets and don't even realize it, you know what I'm saying?" Kanye revealed in 2018 that he'd been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, while he was also hospitalized with exhaustion and sleep deprivation in 2016.
