A source has revealed Kanye West is having trouble “snapping back” to normal after being hospitalized last week.

The rapper had recently cancelled an ongoing tour due to exhaustion and sleep deprivation. Sources state that he has always been able to deal with challenges but now things have proven especially tough. This is partly due to not having his partner by his side while touring, in addition to coping with her life threatening ordeal in Paris earlier this year.

An insider explained to People: “In the past, he snapped back quickly. This has been going on for years. In the past when Kanye seemed to struggle, no one took it too seriously. The attitude was more like it was just Kanye being Kanye. Things would go back to normal. This time is much different.

Without having Kim by his side during the tour as planned, Kanye wasn’t able to snap back. Kim being absent because of her own struggles seems to be why things are different with Kanye this time.”

And although the artist- who has two children with the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star – is still at the Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center in California, he is said to be gradually improving.

Another source had previously stated: “[Kanye’s] starting to feel more like himself. He understands that getting help at the hospital was necessary. He is resting and getting help. They are taking it day by day.”

Meanwhile, Kim has remained fully committed to seeing her husband regain his mental and physical health, and sources say he is her highest priority.

“Kim is focused on Kanye right now and making sure her family is getting all the care and attention that’s needed. They’re her priority and main concern right now,” a source shared.
