Kanye West seems to be in a mess after his personal and professional life has been constantly making headlines for all the wrong reasons for the last one year. The award-winning rapper skipped Grammys recently after he was banned from performing at the coveted award ceremony. He then pulled out as one of the headliners from Coachella 2022. It all came after he went on several online rants against ex-wife Kim Kardashian in the last few months.
 
However, it is being reported that the 44-year-old rap icon wants to sort out things by first getting his head clear. According to Page Six, the ‘Donda’ hitmaker is reportedly seeking treatment for his behavior and is apparently in a luxurious retreat for the same. Kanye apparently wants to be a better human and a good father. The hip-hop legend had earlier gone on a rant against Kim to make sure their daughter North West stays away from TikTok.
