Kanye West has claimed wife Kim Kardashian West tried to get a doctor to “lock me up” after he said the couple considered an abortion while expecting their first child.
West, who says he is running to be president of the US, told a crowd in South Carolina on Sunday that a message from God convinced him to keep the baby.
Kardashian West gave birth to their first child, daughter North, in 2013.
Kim was trying to fly to Wyoming with a doctor to lock me up like on the movie Get Out because I cried about saving my daughters life yesterday

The rapper, who has been open about his bipolar disorder diagnosis, has now claimed his wife tried to bring a doctor to his ranch in Wyoming, comparing the situation to 2017 horror film Get Out.
He tweeted: “Kim was trying to fly to Wyoming with a doctor to lock me up like on the movie Get Out because I cried about saving my daughters life yesterday.”
The claim was made in a series of distressing tweets, some of which have now been deleted, in which he demanded Kardashian West and his mother-in-law Kris Jenner “call me now”.
About two hours after tweeting the claims against his wife, West said “ima focus on the music now” and revealed he plans to release an album on Friday.
He shared a picture of the 12-song tracklist for Donda, which is named after his late mother.
Song titles include Off The Grid, Gods Country and Praise God. Notations next to the titles appear to show the songs are still being worked on.
This would not be out of character for West, who is known to tweak his albums right up to release and in the case of his 2016 effort The Life Of Pablo, post-release.
Before the album announcement, West said Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour “looked at me like I was crazy” when he told her about the deal to sell his Yeezy fashion line through Gap stores.
West also shared a picture of his four children with Kardashian West.
Reality TV star Kardashian West is yet to publicly respond.
West’s tweets came a day after his headline-making event in North Charleston, South Carolina, where he discussed his presidential bid.
