Kanye West rushed to hospital

US rapper Kanye West was yesterday rushed to hospital following an emergency services call, after it was revealed the hip-hop superstar has been suffering from exhaustion and sleep deprivation.

A police spokesperson told the BBC they had received a “disturbance call” on Monday afternoon, but did not name the singer.

The disturbance was later deemed a medical incident, he said, and the fire department responded.

A spokesman for the LA Fire Department said an unnamed man had been taken to hospital for “further assessment”.

“At 13:20 Pacific Time, the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to an unspecified medical aid request,” a spokesperson for the service said.

“An adult male described as medically stable was taken to an area hospital for further assessment.”

Further details of the incident later confirmed that the unnamed man was indeed Kanye West.
