Kanye West Claims His Former Personal Trainer, Harley Pasternak Forcibly Put Him On Meds To Make Him A “Well Behaved Celebrity”
Rapper and fashion designer, Kanye West has taken to slamming his former personal trainer.
In a series of tweets on Friday, November 4, the rapper blasted at Harley Pasternak, who is Jewish and seemingly claimed that the latter was institutionalizing him for no reason.
Kanye “Ye” West exposed Harley Pasternak in a series of text messages seemingly between the pair.
In the messages, Kanye’s former trainer seemed to have said to Kanye West that the two would have an open conversation without any cuss words and based on facts.
Pasternak added that he would have West institutionalized where doctors would “medicate the crap” out of him and that West would “go back to Zombieland forever.”
As Kanye shared the texts, he said that he was “nearly drugged out of my mind” to make him a “manageable, well-behaved celebrity.”
“What should be obvious by now is that I was raised to stand for my truth regardless of the consequences
So I will say this again I was mentally misdiagnosed and nearly drugged out of my mind to make me a manageable well behaved celebrity”
In another tweet, the 45-year-old father of four alleged that he was threatened that everything, including his children, would be taken away from him if he went to “expose the truth.”
“I was told that if I expose the truth of the bad business practices everything is gonna be taken from me Including my black children”
“And everyone has bore whiteness to the public Emmett Tilling of Ye. But GOD has put something on my heart not to backdown”
The rapper also claimed that Harley was aware of West’s alleged Jewish “origin,” which the Jewish trainer later went on to dismiss.
“This shows Harley admitting to knowing the truth of our origin but then later dismissing the facts within the same text chain…Mind you This is how a Hollywood trainer speaks to a far more influential black celebrity when we get out of line.”
Harley Pasternak is a celebrity fitness coach and nutritionist and his clientele includes Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Halle Berry, Ariana Grande, Adam Levine, Megan Fox, Kim Kardashian, Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Pattinson.
Along with being a celebrity trainer, he has also served as an exercise and nutrition scientist for Canada’s National Defense.
Following Kanye West’s alleged anti-Semitic rhetoric across media channels, Pasternak ended his 15-year friendship with the Donda rapper.
In a statement to Newsweek, Pasternak said that he believes West has a “history of mental health issues” and that he seemed to be going through an “episode” at the time.
He added that if people kept giving Ye a platform to “discuss hateful, antisemitic rhetoric, they are complicit,” and noted that he lauds Facebook and Twitter for suspending the rapper.
“It doesn’t forgive someone for being antisemitic (Kanye’s mental health issues). In fact, the lack of outrage over his tweet from people is very sad, regardless of whether he’s mentally ill or not. it’s not acceptable.”

Meet the Man Who Turned Hype Into a Science: Emmy Blaq, Nigeria’s G.O.A.T. of Hype
If you have ever been at a Nigerian event and found yourself on your feet before the main act even stepped on stage, there is a good chance a hype man was responsible. But not just any hype man. Emmy Blaq, born Ikechukwu Emmanuel Chima and raised in Auchi, Edo State, has spent the last few years quietly becoming the most talked-about name in that profession, and the Nigerian press has taken notice. Punch, Vanguard, The Guardian Nigeria, The Nation, and Independent Newspaper have all sat down with him, and every conversation leads back to the same thing: this man does not just make noise; he makes moments.
What makes Emmy Blaq different is the journey behind the energy. Before the stages, the collaborations with Waje on her “Waje 2.0” album, DJ Consequence, and DJ Kaywise on the massively streamed “Joor Party Mix” series, he was repairing generators, cutting hair, and sewing clothes in Auchi. His first professional hype gig happened at a local fast food spot called Valchi, and the crowd response that night changed everything. He told The Nation directly: “My passion for entertainment and desire to make people happy led me into the craft.” Punch also captured his bigger mission when he said that hype men deserve more than what they currently earn, a statement that sparked a real conversation across Nigerian entertainment circles.
With over 1.7 million TikTok followers, 23.6 million TikTok likes, a viral “Wife Material” challenge that landed on Pulse Nigeria’s top ten social media moments of 2021, and an international performance at the Cameroon International Music Festival that Cameroonian media described as electrifying, Emmy Blaq is not building toward something. He is already there. The G.O.A.T. of Hype is not a title he gave himself and hoped would stick. It is one the rooms keep confirming every single time he grabs the mic.
