I'm a fan of his production work and two of his first three albums.

I'm not a *stan*, which is the level of fandom at play with those who make a million excuses for his endless stream of actions that portray him as a terrible person.

To me his actions paint a portrait of a self centered, spoiled brat who still throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way. Not someone who is mentally ill.

>but that's for you to roll with.

It's actually far worse for people to diagnose him as "mentally ill"- his rabid, apologetic and enabling fans included and in particular- than to offer the simple opinion that the guy is just an entitled asshole.

Ultimately I'll defer my opinion to that of the psychiatric professional who actually treats him, not the opinion of stans who give him passes and make excuses for him. People saying it's "obvious" that he's mentally ill are probably more in need of your attention than me saying he's just a dick.
