Kanye West‘s family is very concerned for the rapper — but doesn’t know what to do or how to help him.
During ameeting with Donald Trumpin the Oval Office on Thursday, West — who avidly supports and voted for the president in the 2016 election — claimed during a lengthy, televised discussion that he was “misdiagnosed” withbipolar disorder.(The rapper, 41, also recently revealed that he is“off medication” he had previously been taking to treat the disorder.)
According to a source close to West, people in his inner circle “are telling him that he needs to get back on his medication, that he’s not doing well, that he’s not making any sense.”
“Now he’s in the Oval Office, and he’s doing the same rant, and that’s going to validate his rants,” shares the source.
While family and close friends want to support the father of three, they don’t feel that they’re able to get through to him — in part because of POTUS’ validation.
“No one close to him can tell him that he’s sounding unhinged,” says the source, “because his answer is that the President of the United States doesn’t think so.”

Although the Kardashians have been an unwavering support system to him, the source says that “the entire family is at the end of their ropes, and stuff like this won’t help.”
“They’re trying to help him get things where they should be, and it’s going to be that much harder now,” the source adds. “It’s a sad day.”
