Kanye West reportedly won’t be released from the hospital as was planned, according to new reports on Monday.

The rapper and producer was hospitalized at the UCLA Medical Center last week, and he was slated for release on Nov. 28. But as TMZ and People magazine have reported, he still isn’t stable to leave the facility. TMZ cited “sources with direct knowledge of the situation” for its report. Now, there is no date set for his release from the hospital.

He was admitted to the hospital last Monday after acting “erratically” following an outburst at a concert in San Jose, California, where he cut his set short. He voiced support for Donald Trump at another show, and he criticized Jay Z and Beyonce.

Then, he canceled the remainder of his “Saint Pablo Tour.”

According to his doctor, the 39-year-old was suffering from “temporary psychosis due to sleep deprivation and dehydration,” as TMZ said Nov. 22.

Another source told People that he was “extremely sleep deprived and had not been taking care of himself.”

West’s mother-in-law Kris Jenner told Vanity Fair last week that the rapper was “exhausted” but “good.”

Neither his wife, Kim Kardashian, nor any other members of the reality TV family have yet publicly commented on West’s status.
