Billionaire rapper and fashion icon Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, took to Twitter on Thursday evening with alarming allegations against a celebrity fitness trainer who allegedly threatened to have him “institutionalized” and “drugged out of” his “mind” over his recent remarks.
In the series of tweets, Ye claimed to have been “misdiagnosed” after throwing his support behind 45th President Donald Trump. He claims he was subsequently drugged to make him “a manageable well behaved celebrity.”
Many speculate Ye is referring to his hospitalization in late 2016 over a “psychiatric emergency” that prompted him to cancel his Saint Pablo tour, which notably occurred shortly after he delivered several lengthy remarks about the former Republican president-elect during a concert in San Jose, California.
“What should be obvious by now is that I was raised to stand for my truth regardless of the consequences,” Ye wrote on Twitter. “So I will say this again I was mentally misdiagnosed and nearly drugged out of my mind to make me a manageable well behaved celebrity,” the artist added.
In the tweet, Ye revealed a screenshot of what appears to be a text message exchange between him and an individual named “Harley,” who he claims is celebrity fitness trainer Harley Pasternak.

According to Ye’s post, Pasternak told the famous rapper “I’m going to help you one of a couple ways,” as though delivering an ultimatum to the billionaire artist.
“First, you and I sit down and have an loving and open conversation,” Pasternak allegedly sent Ye in a text message, “but you don’t use cuss words, and everything that is discussed is based in fact, and not some crazy stuff that dumb friend of yours told you, or you saw in a tweet.”
According to Ye, the celebrity fitness trainer threatened to place the famous artist in a mental institution “again,” where they would place him on medications, likening his state of mind to “Zombieland.”

“Second option,” he allegedly wrote, “I have you institutionalized again where they medicate the crap out of you, and you go back to Zombieland forever.”
Pasternak allegedly added, “Play date with the kids just won’t be the same.”

Pasternak reportedly played an integral role in Ye’s recovery after his first hospitalization, and has had a longtime relationship with the artist for over a decade.
Pasternak was reportedly with Ye on the very day that Ye was taken to the hospital in 2016.
Since Ye began posting his conversations with Pasternak, social media users have unearthed images of the men together. Fans of Ye have taken to questioning Pasternak on his social media.

In another series of text messages, Ye reveals that he’s discussed his thoughts on Jewish people and theories regarding Judaism and black people with Pasternak, and claims the celebrity guru previously expressed agreement.
“This shows Harley admitting to knowing the truth of our origin,” wrote Ye, “but then later dismissing the facts within the same text chain.”
He added, “This is how a Hollywood trainer speaks to a far more influential black celebrity when we get out of line.”

These text messages represent the latest development since Ye appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to discuss his political views and later promised to go “death con 3” on “Jewish people” before claiming that he could not be anti-Semitic because blacks are Jewish.
Since then, West has lost an untold fortune in canceled concerts, branding and promotional deals, fashion deals, bank accounts, social media accounts, and more.
