KANYE WEST SAYS HE ISN'T BIPOLAR BUT 'MAY BE SLIGHTLY AUTISTIC': 'THAT'S PART OF MY SUPERPOWER'

Quote:
Kanye West has claimed he is not Bipolar and said the devil is working through China in yet another bizarre interview.

He continued: “The truth is Jesus says love everyone, God says love everyone. For me, I believe that in no way I am not Bipolar, I am not in some kind of episode, but I may be slightly autistic-like ‘Rain Man’, and that’s part of my superpower!

“That’s the reason why I can produce tracks and design and do so many things but what I can’t do. There’s two things that I can’t do: I can’t accept hate and I can’t hate.”

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

He might be a lot of things...I doubt autistic is one of them.
