Travis Kelce’s dad, Ed Kelce, has clarified to fans and followers a comment he made aboutKanye West’s mental health.
On August 8, the Cleveland native, 52, voiced his initial reaction to West’s song name-dropping Travis and Taylor Swift — labeling it as “Mental illness on full display” in a post on his Facebook page.
One week later, Ed shared a Sports Illustrated article covering his original response, clarifying his previous statement about the rapper.
“I feel the need to clarify that my comment on Kanye West was not so much a criticism as it was my thoughts on his mental health. His behaviors and comments beyond Taylor indicate a paranoia and over-inflated sense of self worth,” Ed wrote via Facebook on Thursday, August 15. Swift and West, who was previously diagnosed with bipolar disorder, have been embroiled in a feud for more than a decade.
Continuing, he stated, “While it would be easy to attribute his actions to drug use, throughout history there’s been no shortage of clean and sober people displaying the same traits. This is a talented guy and hopefully he’s getting help with these issues.”
