John Legend wants people to stop "armchair-diagnosing" Kanye West.

The 39-year-old singer has been close friends with the 'Heartless' rapper for many years, and has said that following Kanye's social media outbursts, many people have tried to label him with a mental health condition.

And while John "clearly disagreed" with the things Kanye posted, he insists what's "going on in his brain" is no-one's business.

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal magazine, the 'All of Me' hitmaker said: "A lot of people have tried to armchair-diagnose him, but I leave it to him and his doctor to discuss what's going on in his brain. Clearly I disagreed with some of the things he was saying, and I was worried that his saying it might empower some of the wrong forces, might be really demoralising for people who looked up to him and thought of him as a leader."

John's comments come after Kanye, previously claimed he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but said he thinks he was just battling with "sleep deprivation" rather than the mental health disorder.

Kanye said: “I wasn't actually bipolar, I had sleep deprivation which can cause dementia 10 to 20 years from now when I wouldn't even remember my son's name."
