Kanye West has compared his 2016 "mental breakdown" to superhero Deadpool in an outrageous new interview.
The rapper, 42,was taken to hospital by ambulance in November 2016, and placed on a psychiatric hold.
He remained under the care of doctors for more than a week, with reports at the time suggesting he was suffering from sleep deprivation and exhaustion.
Kayne has since explained it was more serious than that, and has now compared the experience to that of the character played by Ryan Reynolds in the 2016 movie Deadpool.
In the film, the lead character is offered an experimental cure for cancer, which works but leaves him disfigured and with super powers.
In a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, Kanye explains he came out of his experience stronger - like the Marvel hero.
He said: "I’ve been through Deadpool. You know that movie?"
Kanye also compared the experience to his experience to kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer.
He added: "I had an actual mental breakdown from attempting to put together all of the pieces.”
The star went on to insist he's fully focused on his career and is determined to keep up the hard work.
He said: "I do not like the word ambitious. I'm Kanye West.
"The word ambitious is beneath my abilities. I'm just a doer. You can see in my eyes there's not one bit of fear."
During the interview, he also spoke about his Yeezy fashion range and compared it to some of the world's most famous brands.
He explained: "I believe that Yeezyis the McDonald’s and the Apple of apparel.
"In order to make the Apple of apparel the next Gap, it has to be a new invention.
"To invent something that’s so good that you don’t even get credit for it because it’s the norm."
