American entrepreneur and music producer, Dame Dash, says he is convinced that the media is taking advantage of Kanye West’s mental problem.
The music mogul, in a recent interview on The Domenick Nati Show, said the musician’s mental imbalance was being exploited by the media.
“I think it’s very clear that there’s an imbalance. And I don’t think people should take advantage of the imbalance just to bring awareness to their platforms.
“Kanye already said he’s bipolar. If you give a bipolar man a mic, I don’t know what you expect. I don’t think it’s fair. He said it on television, he’s on meds, so what else is there to talk about?
“It’s funny when the press knows someone’s gonna say something stupid, they’re quick to pass them a mic and put a camera on them, and everybody talks about it. But they’re not so fast to do that when they know someone’s gonna say something smart because ain’t nobody throwing me a mic.”
Damon Dash was co-founder of Rocafella Records and he also masterminded Kanye’s first ever record deal with the label.
