Kanye West, the rapper and entrepreneur, is once again making headlines, this time facing a lawsuit from his dentist and sparking health speculations fueled by fellow artist Azelia Banks.

Legal action Against Beverly Hills Dentist

Mr. West and his wife, Bianca Censori, have reportedly issued a notice to Dr. Thomas Kanell, a Beverly Hills dentist, alleging medical malpractice, gross negligence, fraud, exploitation, and negligent administration of controlled substances, according to Page Six.

The couple claims that Dr. Kanell attempted to exploit Mr. West’s brand, Yezi LLC, and provided ineffective treatment involving a “cocktail of controlled and uncontrolled substances.” The notice alleges that Dr. Kanell fostered an addiction to nitrous oxide in Mr. West, leading to expenditures of up to $50,000 per month for access to the gas.

Mr. West’s legal team is claiming “nerve and physical injuries,” psychological and mental distress, chemical dependency, and financial damages, including loss of consortium. However, due to California law, the lawsuit is currently a notice of intent to sue, a prerequisite for medical negligence claims in the state.

Azealia Banks Speculates on West’s Health

amidst the legal turmoil, rapper Azealia Banks has offered her own theory regarding Mr. West’s recent behaviour. In a lengthy post on X (formerly Twitter), Ms. Banks suggested that Mr. West’s actions could be attributed to complications from diabetes.

Ms. Banks stated:

Okay, I have to say this, as I think more people are trying to keep it so polite. I will hurt myself and I can’t realy allow them to continue as they really go.

She continued, alleging:

Kanye West has diabetes. Diabetic rage is what we’ve been observing over the past 4 years. From diabetic facial swelling, his face has been covered.

Ms. Banks urged Mr. West to prioritize his health, saying:

Diabetes is a very complex and devastating disease and with everything you have done in your life, I think it is appropriate to help you not participate in opposite matters. Kanye, rest a little rest and take care of yourself.

While it remains unclear whether Ms. Banks’ statements are serious or satirical, they add another layer of complexity to the ongoing narrative surrounding Mr.West.
