In new footage, the Roc-A-Fella founder shares hopes that people don't forget about his friend and former mentee's current mental health situation as he's diagnosed as bipolar.

AceShowbiz - Dame Dash appears to show support Kanye West amid his controversy. In a new video that circulated online, the Roc-A-Fella founder shared hopes that people are aware of his friend and former mentee's current mental health situation.

When asked whether he can see himself being a big brother and guiding Kanye through his current situation, the hip-hop icon told group of burgeoning entrepreneurs at Young Entrepreneurz Solutions' "YES National Business Plan Challenge" in St. Croix, "You think big brother turns off?" He then admitted, "Yeah, I'm in contact with him; it's draining."

Dame, however, reminded people that Ye has been struggling with bipolar. "But, you know, he's bipolar. People forget that. I don't care how rich you are, if you have a chemical imbalance, you're gonna say some crazy things," he shared.

Dame, who was there to screen his new movie "Prince of Detroit", went on to say, "Anybody know someone bipolar? You don't put them in front of a camera, you put them in a house or a hospital … you say the most outlandish things when you're triggered and there's a chemical imbalance, and also when you're tired. It's like being drunk."

"But, you know, I know him. And yeah, I do talk to him and I try. It's painful to watch because someone with bipolar with a billion and a whole bunch of people that don't care, it's not a good formula," he went on adding.

Dame also believed that "people should be more worried about his health than worried about what he says." He divulged, "He already admitted that he was bipolar, he's been in a straitjacket in front of errbody. Why do you listen to somebody bipolar if the tell you they bipolar?"

"Before he says stuff that's, like, triggering, he premises it with like, 'I'm tired.' You know what it takes for Kanye to say he tired, he got to be damn near be hallucinating. He don't sleep. I'ma tell you. So you know, he going through it. But I'm more mad at everybody that's just not worried about his health. A man tell you he's sick and then he start acting sick, 'cause he's rich y'all listen to him as if he's not. That's that. But it's sad what's going on," he concluded.

Prior to this, Dame echoed his concern over Ye's mental health state when appearing on Kick Game's sneaker shopping series last month. Calling the Yeezy designer his "brother," Dame divulged, "[We don't talk] constantly - when he needs me and when I'm worried about him. What you think? I'm worried about him. N***a, can I ask you a question? Is he bipolar or not, did he tell you that? So if you checked off the boxes of bipolar, is he acting that? So then leave it at that."

"Worry about his health if you care about him at all. I'm just saying, man, regardless to what he's saying, it's the way he's saying it. I don't care what he's saying, I want him to live. Y'all worried about the wrong s**t," he continued. "If you know a man has a problem and you know he might be checking the boxes off for the symptoms of that problem, why do you judge him as if he doesn't have a problem? It's not logical."
