The Return of Mr. West<\/h3>\n

Kanye West has been largely silent since the end of 2016, when he was hospitalized for a mental health emergency following a series of outbursts and the early cancellation of a major tour. This week, Kanye West made his unofficial return<\/a> to the cultural zeitgeist with a slew of tweets<\/a> announcing two new albums. During an interview<\/a> with his interior designer last Friday, West exhibited his latest reincarnation – Zen Kanye. He told Axel Vervoordt, \u201cI don\u2019t wish to be number one anymore – I wish to be water.\u201d<\/p>\n
