Kanye West Was Not Hospitalized For Outing Jay Z As Member Of Illuminati [Debunked]
On Monday, the news broke that Kanye West has been hospitalized following days of bizarre behavior and the news that his current tour had been cancelled without citing a reason. The pinnacle of Kanye West’s strange week appeared to come three songs into his set at a concert in Sacramento. That’s when Mr. Kim Kardashian launched into an expletive-laden rant that went on for over a quarter of an hour, just days after inciting shock and even a little disgust by telling the world he would have voted for Donald Trump in the election — if he would have voted.
Throughout his legendary rant, Kanye West spoke to a shocked crowd of thousands about politics (even comparing himself to Donald Trump), Beyonce, Jay Z, Taylor Swift, the corrupt radio industry, Kid Cudi and even about Jay Z’s ties to “killers,” reports USA Today. When he was done, Kanye West literally dropped the mic, exited the stage and ended the show. Angry fans were ultimately refunded, but not before they took to social media in shock and disgust.

Kanye’s full NSFW rant can be read here, via Fader.
“It’s a new world, Hillary Clinton, it’s a new world. Feelings matter. Because guess what? Everybody in middle America felt a way and they showed you how they felt. Feelings matter, bro. It’s a new world. It’s a new world, Barack. It’s a new world, Jay Z. Hey, don’t send killers at my head, bro. This ain’t the Malcolm X movie.”
After the rant, things went from bad to worse for Kanye West, and it happened quickly. First, it was announced the Sunday stop on his tour wouldn’t happen. Then, on Monday, the world found out that Kanye had been taken to a Los Angeles hospital for observation and evaluation.
As the Washington Post reports, when the world learned of Kanye West’s hospitalization, the details were initially sketchy and limited. Kanye was reportedly being evaluated by his own physician on Monday at about 1:20 p.m. when that doctor called 911 based on Kanye West’s condition. It was reported that the LAPD responded to a “disturbance” involving Kanye West and that it resulted in Kanye being taken to the hospital.
No crime was observed, and Kanye West was placed on a “psychiatric hold” for observation, evaluation, and treatment. Celebrity news source TMZ reported early on that Kanye West had to be restrained and was unwilling to be transported to the hospital by ambulance, but others have since come forward to refute that allegation. Kanye West’s family, spokespeople and sources close to West are now saying that the rapper is simply suffering from exhaustion.
“He is exhausted and currently dealing with sleep deprivation. He went to the hospital at will under the advice of his physician. He’s fine.”

Despite the confirmation from those close to West that he is okay and being treated for exhaustion, not everyone took the claims at face value.
After he was hospitalized, YourNewsWire reported that Kanye West was locked up in the hospital on a psychiatric hold not because he’s exhausted, but because of what he said during his expletive-filled Sacramento rant. Namely, the site has alleged that what he said about Jay Z outed the rapper as a member of the notorious and nefarious secret organization, the Illuminati. Here’s the statement that YourNewsWire sites as the nail in Kanye West’s coffin.
“I am putting my career, my life, my public well-standing at risk, when I talk to y’all like this. Beyoncé, I was hurt, cause I heard that you said you wouldn’t perform unless you won [VMA] Video of the Year over me, over Hotline Bling.
“Jay Z, I know you got killers, please don’t send them at my head. Talk to me like a man!“
Every huge celebrity is a democrat/backs up democratic politicians. Kanye West backs up Trump and then had a psychotic episode. #Illuminati

Further, the YourNewsWire article claims that the hospital where Kanye West was sent makes the situation even more suspicious. That hospital, the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, is touted in the article as having a “famous brainwashing psych ward,” and it is alleged that Kanye West is undergoing some kind of dark “reprogramming” because he dared speak out about a member of Hollywood’s powerful, so-called Illuminati-connected elite.
According to the theory, UCLA Medical Center is a hotbed for mind control and MK Ultra super-secret government activities. And now, according to the article, “they” have gotten their hands on Kanye West.
“Between 1974 and 1989, West received at least $5,110,099 in grants from the federal government, channeled through the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a major funding conduit for CIA programs.“

The only problem? The claims made in the article are completely baseless. Nowhere in his staggering Sacramento rant did Kanye mention anything about the Illuminati or connect Jay Z to the widely-feared organization in any way. In fact, during his rant, Kanye West called out a handful of people, and Jay Z wasn’t the only one he begged not to send their “hitters” after him.
“Khaled, I know you got hitters from Miami. Please do not send them at my head.”
What’s more, while TMZ initially claimed that Kanye West was forcibly taken to the hospital against his will, that too has been debunked. As People reports, Kanye West ultimately chose to follow his doctor’s advice to take advantage of some recovery time in the hospital.
“There was a small altercation at the gym but he was deemed medically stable and decided to seek medical help at his doctor’s request.”
The claims that Kanye was restrained before transport have also been debunked by the People source, who told the magazine that “he went freely.”
In the end, it sounds like the sensational story of Kanye West being hospitalized is no more sensational than an overworked performer in need of some good rest with the help of medical professionals, and it doesn’t involve brainwashing or the Illuminati.
