Kanye West responds to the label of "mad." The controversial rapper, 45, made the following remarks in the second segment of his in-depth interview on Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight, which aired on Friday, "They keep on using the 'Oh he's crazy, he's crazy' thing. And it hurts my feelings when people say that." "It hurts my feelings that people can ask, 'Hey, are you okay?' " 

West made his most recent comments after facing criticism for a worrying tweet he wrote to Boosie Badazz (formerly known as Lil Boosie), who had attacked West's White Lives Matter t-shirt.

"Don't speak on me Lil Boosie speak to me," He sent out a tweet in all caps, which has since been deleted, but was screenshotted and shared on Twitter. West added, "Come smack me or come shoot me. I'm the one that got bullied by the entire Black celebrity community. Now I'm back to shoot the school up." 

West has been vocal about his battle with bipolar disorder, as has his ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian. The Kardashians star, 41, said in a 2019 Vogue cover story that her husband has accepted his bipolar disease even though he chose not to take medication to manage it. 

"For him, being on medication is not really an option, because it just changes who he is," she explained at the time, adding that the couple had reached a "pretty good place" in his mental health journey. "It is an emotional process, for sure," she added. "Right now everything is really calm. But we can definitely feel episodes coming, and we know how to handle them." The "Stronger" rapper, who unveiled his White Lives Matter clothing at his most recent Yeezy Season 9 presentation at Paris Fashion Week, doubled down on it in part one of his interview with Carlson.

"I do certain things from a feeling, I just channel the energy. It just feels right. It's using a gut instinct, a connection with God, and just brilliance," West explained of the creative choice. He described how his father Ray West felt about the shirt, which was also worn by right-wing commentator Candace Owens in a backstage photo with West. 

"You know, my dad is an educated ex-Black Panther, and he put in a text to me today, he said, 'White Lives Matter. Ha ha ha ha ha,' " he recalled. "And I said, 'I thought the shirt was a funny shirt. I thought the idea of me wearing it was funny.' And I said, 'Dad, why do you think it was funny?' He said, 'Just a Black man stating the obvious.' "

The Donda artist continued: "That [was] my favorite response. Cause ... people, they're looking for an explanation, and people say, 'Well, as an artist you don't have to give an explanation,' but as a leader, you do." "So the answer to why I wrote White Lives Matter on a shirt is because they do. It's the obvious thing," West said.
