There are reports that Kanye may be checking himself into rehab real soon.

No, not emotional rehab but for alcohol abuse.  According to Star tabloid, a source close to Kanye says he’s been drinking heavily since the death of his mother in November 2007.  The source says that Kanye’s drinking has gotten out of hand and he is contemplating going to rehab after his “Fame Kills” tour with Lady GaGa ends in January.

Sources say Kanye has been an unlikable person since his mother passed and hopefully rehab will be the first step to his recovery.

    damn i didnt think it was that bad, just one night you get drunk and do something stupid, DOESNT MAKE YOU AN ALCOHOLIC!!

  2. Dre DAY 9/25/09, 12:03:PM

    FIRST!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Royal Chocolate 9/25/09, 12:04:PM

    Since his mama died, this fool is out of control. Could someone please tell him to use common sense and take some time to grieve? He is fast losing respect.

  4. dayg715 9/25/09, 12:06:PM

    um, HELLO, this douche was an unlikeable asshole BEFORE his mother died. he doesn’t need rehab; he needs a psychiatric evaluation.

  5. dayg715 9/25/09, 12:07:PM

    his people need to stop trying to blame his douchery on alcohol. whatever. he’s an asshole, period. alcohol had nothing to do with that.

  7. WHATEVA 9/25/09, 12:12:PM

    THE DRINKING ON TOP OF THE FOOLISHNESS = CAREER OVER..KANYE BETTER GET IT TOGETHER.

  8. This some Shhh... 9/25/09, 12:18:PM

    Who hasn’t had a dranky drank to wash down the pain. He’ll come out on the other side.

  9. Lady J 9/25/09, 12:26:PM

    @ this some Shhh…Naw, he does need to get help before it gets anymore out of hand. He suffered a recent loss and clearly hasn’t finished greiving for his mother. He could easiy spiral out of control….

  10. Believe it or not 9/25/09, 12:31:PM

    REHAB FOR WHAT?
    HE THINK HE ABOVE OTHERS THAT IS HIS PROBLEM! FUCK A DRINKIN PROBLEM HE BEEN ACTIN LIKE THAT BEFORE HIS MOTHER PASSED AWAY! NO EXCUSES MAN

  11. Roe 9/25/09, 12:36:PM

    Man yall need to leave Kanye alone. Yeah alcohol incouraged his outburst but dammit the shit needed to be said. Tired of white ppl thinkn they can do whatever they want and we have to accept it. Black folks need to start speaking up for themselves more for real!

  12. Philly 9/25/09, 12:37:PM

    Well when I saw the pics of him with a full bottle of Hendog on the red carpet and then the bottle almost empty by the time the show started. I knew something was wrong with him! Who kills a half gallon of any alcohol in a matter of minutes, but an alcoholic!! He may need to be rehabbed on more than just drinking though…I believe he has some issues beyond even his mother passing. God bless him though. I like Kanye, so I wish him the best!!

  13. JAZZO 9/25/09, 12:46:PM

    Po Thang….

  14. HoneySuckleGirl (KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS....LOL) 9/25/09, 12:48:PM

    I wish him the best in whatever he does. I hope he gets the help that he needs. Kudos when you realize you have a problem and you try to resolve it.

  15. ROCKKIE 9/25/09, 12:53:PM

    He needs a reality check, what he doesn’t realize he can fall and fall hard. I don’t know why some celebs think they are untochable. Kanye, wake up and grab a glass of water and leave the liwuor to the big boys.

  16. Sloppy Seconds are for Losers 9/25/09, 01:11:PM

    Amazing that people think Lady Gaga is talented,to even see people buying into the hype that this publicity hungry will do anything crazy/satanic looking for press person is talented is so crazy when TRUE MUSICIANS and SINGERS such as:
    Dwele
    Goaple
    Chrissete Michelle
    Jasmine Sullivan
    Eric Roberson
    Ledisi
    Tina Moore
    Rell
    Teedra Moses
    ARE FIGTHING TO GET THEIR MUSIC HEARD!!!!

    All a white woman has to do is walk around naked or act a DAMN fool or appear to be down with black music ala Amy Winehouse and some PEOPLE will buy the Illusion of TALENT bullshit.

  17. HoneySuckleGirl (KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS....LOL) 9/25/09, 01:25:PM

    @Sloppy Seconds are for Losers

    I agree. Real music and real artist aren’t being supported or heard but soon as a snow bunny get out there with some whacky ass outfit and a drug problem, they sell millions and we are in awe and support that crap.

  18. La-meez 9/25/09, 01:26:PM

    Kanye dont need a psyciatrist or rehab, he needs an ass beating. I bet chu after that he’s azz wud calm down.

  19. Shannon Cason 9/25/09, 01:36:PM

    If he does, that’s a PR stunt. Make a fool of yourself, and blame it on the alc… LOL. I can’t respect what Kanye did b/c he never comes at anyone who a threat.

    When him and 50 had their duel, he was kinda like a chump…but he’s bold with this young white girl. Weak.

  20. ARTOFWAR 9/25/09, 01:52:PM

    People need to stop blaming this fool’s assholeness abilities on his mother’s death.
    The truth of the matter is that he exhibited traits of his assholeness long before his mother ever died…..

    It’s just that now that his mother is gone, his assholeness has accelerated and become more profound.

    People need to stop making excuses for this kid.
    For you all are enabling him to dig himself into and deeper, and more rancid hole.

    And you enablers will be the first ones to cry foul when he dies…. ARTOFWAR

  21. Molly 9/25/09, 02:14:PM

    He’s still mourning the loss of his mother. He needs counseling on dealing with her death.

  22. Sad 9/25/09, 02:30:PM

    something is off with him. many are probably right it stems from his mother’s death. if he had help he would probably not be with amber rose, acting out, craving attention, drinking, etc. sad. he will be even better after if he goes to rehab or gets some sort of help.

  23. noelle 9/25/09, 03:10:PM

    What did you say?

  24. LOUII 9/25/09, 03:19:PM

    YEA RITE KANYE NOT GONA GO TO NO REHAB! DAT A LIE! HE DONE SIALD IN A INTERVIEW B4 DAT HE WOULD NEVER GO TO REHAB! IF I WAS HIM I’D SAY “!FUCK DA PRESS!”

  25. spoiledrotten 9/25/09, 03:20:PM

  26. Redd Foxxx (You Can't Cut My Pretty Wings) 9/25/09, 03:40:PM

    Who drinks Hen straight from the bottle in 2009 and thinks thats cool. Who still drinks Hen anyway for that matter. That ish is lethal! Next!

  27. MY BAAD>> ferme l'bouche 9/25/09, 03:56:PM

  28. MY BAAD>> ferme l'bouche 9/25/09, 03:59:PM

    maybe he said he was gonna remix the rehab song..
    or
    maybe sum rehab done on his house in the chI

  29. This some Shhh... 9/25/09, 04:02:PM

    @ lady J

    There’s 2 sides to Kanye. He knows what he’s doing. He’ll make it to the other side of this. I’m not supporting his methods, I just know I’ve been thru this as a youth. He’ll find his way. When you start to see track marks on his arms, then start worrying.

  30. This some Shhh... 9/25/09, 04:04:PM

    @ My Baad

    What up? Does Kanye own property for real? I thought he just lived out of hotels.

  31. ebonieladi 9/25/09, 04:06:PM

    Yes Kanye may be arrogant and all of the above but when he was on Jay Leno,when Leno mentioned his mother I saw someone in deep pain. Kanye never took the time to grieve. He needed to take time off and be surrounded by his family (grandmother, aunts, etc) instead of surrounding his self with people who gave less than a damn about him.. Hopefully now he will take some time off and get his self together and heal properly. This is where his family should step in.

  32. aww damn 9/25/09, 04:09:PM

    That bastard was unlikable before his mom died! He just because more extreme with his assholeness once she did!

  33. eveinthegarden 9/25/09, 05:01:PM

    and if he is suffering from alcholism…that would explain the change from Alexis to Amber.

  34. ALPHA1906 9/25/09, 05:14:PM

    KANYE I LOVE YOU WHATEVER YOU DECIDE TO DO I WILL SUPPORT YOU!!! I LOVE KANYE WEST !!!! I SUPPORT KANYE WEST !!!!

  35. ALPHA1906 9/25/09, 05:15:PM

    KANYE YOU ARE MY FASHION IDOL!!!!

  36. leshie 9/25/09, 05:46:PM

    NEWS FLASH…..Kanye has been a DBAG since day one. He’s always been a jerk. I really thought his Mother passing away would have made him a bit more humble..he just went the other way! Dude needs an attitude check if you ask me. He’s an idiot. Now he’s just blaming it on the alcohol! he knows he’s losing fans and respect from a lot of people so he has to come up with a lame ass excuse like that? Wow Kanye you’re a big boy now!

    They make up storie (the press) all the time

  38. Sepia830 9/25/09, 06:56:PM

    I thought we were over the Kanye drama by now.

    When you invite your drunk/drama queen auntie to your house, should you be mad when she gets drunk and acts a fool? Hell no! Kanye has proven in the past to be one for acting up at awards shows. Let him be him. Homegirl should’ve done her part and pushed him off the stage.

    Rehab might f up Kanye’s creativity and I can’t have that…dammit.
