Kanye West went on a Twitter rant Monday night, claiming that wife Kim Kardashian West tried to ‘lock me up with a doctor.’
It came as sources said that Kardashian was considering divorcing him if he didn’t drop is presidential campaign bid following his telling the world the couple thought about aborting their eldest child.
West, 43, made the private revelation about the couple’s first child, North, during his debut, presidential campaign political rally in Charleston, South Carolina, Sunday.

On Monday night, West took to Twitter with a flurry of tweets and screengrabs that appear to be from his cell phone, several of which he would go on to delete within an hour of posting.
‘Kriss [sic] don’t play with me you and that calmye are not allowed around my children Ya’ll tried to lock me up,’ one of West’s first – and since deleted – tweets read, apparently addressing Kardashian’s mother, Kris Kardashian.
Seconds later, he tweeted: ‘Everybody knows the movie get out is about me.’
A few minutes – and several tweets later – West wrote, ‘Kim tried to bring a doctor to lock me up with a doctor’ and demanded ‘Kriss [sic] and Kim call me now.’
He followed up the latter tweet with a screengrab of an apparent text message he sent to Kris Kardashian stating: ‘This Ye. You ready to talk now. Or are you still avoiding my calls.’
All three of those tweets he later deleted.
During the speech West said that he and Kardashian had talked about aborting their now seven-year-old daughter, North, when Kardashian learned she was pregnant

‘West children will never do playboy,’ West also tweeted, alongside a picture of himself with his children.
‘I love my wife My family must live next to me It’s not up to E or NBC anymore,’ West also tweeted, referring to the TV network and the parent company of the reality series Kardashian stars on, Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
‘NBC locked up Bill Cosby,’ West also tweeted.
To cap off his flurry of tweets, West summarized them by writing: ‘Kim was trying to fly to Wyoming with a doctor to lock me up like on the movie Get Out because I cried about saving my daughters life yesterday.’
Earlier Monday, before West’s Twitter meltdown, a Kardashian source told The Sun that ‘Kim wants Kanye to drop out of this race now and she told him if he does not she may drop him!’
The source said that Kardashian ‘lost her s**t’ when West stood on stage and tearfully screamed about the abortion discussion the couple had had prior to deciding to keep their daughter.
According to the source, West later told Kardashian and her mother, Kris, that ‘the only reason he said that was because he knew that he needed something big to get the attention on his campaign.’
West also allegedly told Kardashian that ‘she should know the game by now.’

The source said that West said that it was still ‘so embarrassing to her’ in light of the fact that she has ‘built up the image of being so devoted to her children.’
Kardashian, according to the source, has now ‘had it’ with West and ‘does not believe that he is well enough to be running for president.’
West has been open about his struggle with bipolar disorder and, in 2016, he spent time in hospital after a ‘psychiatric emergency’ that forced him to cancel 21 concert dates.
West ‘is an embarrassment to himself and to her family and Kim does not want this charade to go on any longer,’ the source told The Sun.

Among the surprising statements West made during the rally Sunday, was that after Kardashian called him ‘crying’ that she was pregnant, ‘We talked about her not having this child. She had the pills in her hand! I almost killed my daughter!’
He also noted that while he was considering what to do about the pregnancy, he received what he interpreted as a sign from God while he was working on his laptop in Paris.
‘My screen went black and white. And God said, if you f**k with my vision I f**k with yours,’ West yelled during the rally. ‘And I called my girlfriend and said we’re going to have this child.’
Later in the unscripted speech, West said: ‘Even if my wife were to divorce me after this speech, she brought North into this world, when I did not want to.’
A Kardashian source told Entertainment Tonight that part of the reality star’s fury over West’s comments was due to the fact that ‘She knows this is something North will see when she gets older and that’s heartbreaking.’
Beyond the shocking abortion revelations, the Kardashian sisters are also ‘horrified’ that West did not engage in any coronavirus social distancing measures during the rally, according to the Kardashian source.
To see ‘Kanye interacting indoors with people without a mask on and that alone was enough to make her freak the f**k out,’ the source said about Kardashian.
Kardashian matriarch, Kris, has apparently told Kanye that he needs to self-quarantine for two weeks before he can see his wife or his children, the source said.
The source said that tension has been high between Kardashian and West amid the coronavirus pandemic.
West’s friends, according to the source, are said to be ‘concerned’ about him and worry that his current behavior could lead to a breakdown for him.
‘They can only describe Kanye’s current situation as a ticking time bomb,’ the source said, noting that the situation is ‘very difficult’ for Kardashian.
‘In addition to worrying endlessly about Kanye she has to deal with the constant public embarrassment of him making claims what’s left of her private life,’ the source told The Sun.
Kardashian is said to want to ‘keep the family together,’ but isn’t sure ‘how much more she can take of this.’
Kardashian has not publicly addressed West’s Sunday night rally comments nor his Monday night Twitter spree.
