Kanye West’s doctor warned to ‘keep him away from weapons’ in shocking 911 call audio ahead of hospitalisation
The rapper was hospitalised after suffering a 'nervous breakdown' and has been recovering with his wife Kim by his side ever since
KANYE West's doctor was warned to keep him away from any weapons by a 911 operator when he called for an ambulance for the rapper.
Kim Kardashian's husband reportedly suffered a 'nervous breakdown' just days ago, and has been recovering in hospital ever since.
Now audio footage - obtained by - allegedly reveals the terrifying moment Kanye's personal physician Dr Michael Farzam desperately asked for an ambulance for the star.
The doctor is said to have made the call on November 21, while the rapper was at his trainer's home in LA.
The doctor can be heard saying: "I'm actually one of the doctors just calling from my cellphone. Can we have some police back-up."
Asked if he is Kanye's doctor, he replies: "Yes."
At one point the operator says: "Can you keep an eye on him... Don't let him get any weapons or anything like that. If anything changes between now and the police arriving please give us a call back."
Meanwhile Kanye, 39, has checked out of UCLA Medical Centre following a week of treatment.
The outlet reports he left the hospital “under the care of Kim and his personal physician Dr Michael Frarzam."
The Famous hitmaker was admitted to hospital over a week ago after suffering a breakdown which was believed to have been triggered by the nine-year anniversary of his mum Donda West's death.
Sources told TMZ that Kanye had increasingly grown more emotional over the last few weeks, thanks to the pressures of touring, running his business, supporting wife Kim Kardashian West through her trauma of being robbed at gunpoint last month, caring for their kids North, three, and Saint, 11 months, and a "shocking" lack of sleep.
But Kanye's breaking point came with Donda's memorial, and he cancelled his Los Angeles concert on November 20 - the same date her funeral had taken place in 2007 - before scrapping his entire tour.
According to the insiders, Kanye had been struggling to handle stress over the last few months, but in the week or so before his breakdown, he really started to unravel.
Now back at home, it’s been reported that Kanye will still be receiving treatment.
And Kim, 36, will no doubt be pleased as a source previously claimed she wants "nothing more" than to have Kanye home for Christmas.
A source said: "Even if Kanye is recommended by the doctors to stay in the hospital for the foreseeable future, Kim still wants him to be home for Christmas.
"She would be happy for him to return to the hospital afterwards, but Kim wants nothing more than to be with her kids and Kanye in the comfort of their own home and not in the confines of a hospital bed for Christmas. It is her current hope and frame of mind and she is looking to make it happen no matter what."
