Kim mortified by Kanye rant

-

KANYE West’s wild campaign rally, in which he claimed he and now-wife Kim Kardashian discussed aborting their first child, has left her “mortified” — and “desperatel­y worried” the rapper is not taking medication for his mental health, sources close to the family say.

West went off the rails at his first campaign speech for his supposed run for president, held in North Charleston, SC, on Sunday.

An insider said, “Kim is mortified. She has desperatel­y been trying to help Kanye, keep him calm and prevent him from having any public meltdowns. The family believes he is having a bipolar episode. He won’t take medication­s because he feels they make him less creative. But to go out and say that about [their daughter] North is shocking. Kim is devastated. She’s worked so hard to help him, but she won’t let him do this to their children.”

Kanye on Monday night tweeted that “Kim tried to bring a doctor to lock me up with a doctor,” adding that “If I get locked up like Mandela… Ya’ll will know why.” He also said that Kardashian’s mom, Kris Jenner, wanted him locked up.

At the rally, Kanye said he and Kim had talked about not going through with her pregnancy in 2012. She “called me, screaming, crying . . . And she said, ‘I’m pregnant.’ ” At one point, she “had the pills in her hand” to have an abortion.

But Kanye said he then got a sign from God through his laptop. “My screen went black and white. And God said, ‘If you f - - k with my vision, I f--k with yours’ . . . And I called my girlfriend and said, ‘We’re going to have this child.’ ”

He also revealed that his father wanted to abort him, but his mother “saved his life,” going on to say women should be given money by the government for bearing children.

Kim became pregnant with North, now 7, about nine months after she and Kanye started dating, and the couple got married in 2014. They also have son Saint, 4, daughter Chicago,

2, and son Psalm, 1.
