West — who has beendiagnosed with bipolar disorder— recently revealedhe’s off his medicationand announced the delay of hisalbumYandhi, which was supposed to drop on Sept. 29.
“I didn’t finish it,” the rapper said about the album during aTMZ Liveinterview on Monday, adding that he was planning on going to Africa in two weeks to continue recording.
Explaining the rationale behind the trip, West explained that while he was in Chicago recently, “I felt this energy.”
“I felt the roots. I need to go to what is known as Africa — I need to find out what it’s really called… and just grab the soil and be and cook food,” he remarked, adding that he’d also like to “have my kids in the studio and have my mic in the open so we can hear nature while we’re recording.”

“It’s just a full Ye album,” he explained, adding that all of the albums he’d previously released weren’t on the same level as the music he’s currently working on. “Those five albums that I dropped earlier were like superhero rehabilitation. Now the alien Ye is fully back in mode, off of medication, working out, breaking as much fresh air as possible, thinking, doing, being himself.”
While it was not immediately clear why West deactivated his accounts, a source previously told PEOPLE the star is struggling as the eleventh anniversary of his mother Donda’s death approaches.
“If you remember, it was a year ago that this happened … almost exactly a year ago,” an insider close to the rapper told PEOPLE exclusively about his controversial actions in recent weeks. “It happens every fall as we get close to the anniversary of his mom’s death.”
