Kanye was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. Kim stood by him regardless.
“He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, and has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bi-polar disorder. Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words sometimes do not align with his intentions,”
she said.
Kanye would later congratulate his wife following the successful $200 Million sale of her brand to Coty.
