Los Angeles police responded to a medical welfare call at lunchtime on Monday. The rapper was reportedly taken to hospital and remains under observation, an unnamed source told NBC News. The move follows [speculation](http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/tde-punch-kendrick-lamar-kanye-west-twitter-top-dawg-mental-health-depression-a7429311.html) as to the state of West’s mental health in recent days. After playing two songs on stage in Sacramento on Saturday, the 39-year-old launched into a tirade against Hillary Clinton, Beyonce, Mark Zuckerberg, and disrupting the status quo, [which ended with him walking off stage](http://time.com/4577999/kanye-west-rant-sacramento-beyonce-hillary-clinton/). West also compared himself to Donald Trump, saying that he was “on my Trump sh-t tonight,” and that his current tour was “the most relevant thing happening.” According to [People](http://people.com/music/kanye-west-hospitalized-after-canceling-tour/), West was suffering from exhaustion and “sleep deprivation,” a source said. “He’s been working around the clock on fashion design, both on his own line and the Adidas line. He’s a notorious workaholic.” His wife, Kim Kardashian West, was due to appear in public for the first time since being robbed in Paris by attending the Angel Ball in New York, but canceled. \[[_NBC News_](http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/kanye-walks-west-s-saint-pablo-tour-cancelled-following-beyonc-n686856)_,_ [_People_](http://people.com/music/kanye-west-hospitalized-after-canceling-tour/)\] Kanye West is Hospitalized Hours After Canceling Tour ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4579541/kanye-west-hospitalized/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4579541/kanye-west-hospitalized/"},"headline":"Kanye West Has Been Hospitalized in Los Angeles","datePublished":"2016-11-22T03:24:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:38:53.990Z","description":"“He is exhausted and currently dealing with sleep deprivation,” a source said","url":"https://time.com/4579541/kanye-west-hospitalized/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","celebrities","Music","Kanye West"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaf6217c8c1f75321/6988af5dcd1bba33a37032e7/gettyimages-465349272.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Dominique Rowe","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/dominique-rowe/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaf6217c8c1f75321/6988af5dcd1bba33a37032e7/gettyimages-465349272.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"FASHION-FRANCE-DIOR-CELEBS","caption":"FASHION-FRANCE-DIOR-CELEBS","creditText":"Patrick Kovarik—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4579541/kanye-west-hospitalized/","name":"Kanye West Has Been Hospitalized in Los Angeles"}}]}] ```
