Wheeler said West was at the home of his personal trainer when the emergency call was made.

West had just pulled the plug on his Saint Pablo Tour after days of erratic and angry behavior.

On Friday, during a concert in San Jose, West said he didn’t vote but would have cast a ballot for Donald Trump. On Saturday in Sacramento, he ended his show after just four songs but not before a 10-minute tirade about Beyonce, Jay Z, Hillary Clinton, Mark Zuckerberg and MTV.

Sunday’s show was canceled then West decided to scrap the entire tour.

Concert promoter Live Nation said tickets would be fully refunded.

Gigi Hadid apologizes for Melania Trump impression

Gigi Hadid says her Melania Trump impression during the American Music Awards Sunday “was done in good humor with no bad intent.”

In a handwritte­n note posted on Twitter , the supermodel says she believes the future first lady “understand­s show business and the way shows are written and run.” Hadid also apologized in the note to anyone that she offended.

Hadid co-hosted the awards with former “Saturday Night Live” impression­ist Jay Pharaoh.

During her impression of Melania Trump, Hadid alluded to the plagiarism controvers­y involving the future first lady’s speech at the Republican National Convention and one given by first lady Michelle Obama years ago.

Hadid mimicked Trump’s accent, saying, “I love my husband, President Barack Obama, and our children, Sasha and Malia.”
