KANYE West plans to enter into a “treatment facility” following an ugly feud with ex wife Kim Kardashian, a report says.
The musician spent weeks attacking the reality star and boyfriend Pete Davidson online, creating major controversy.
According to Page Six, Kanye, 44, is hopeful that he can become a “better human and better dad” by seeking help.
A source told the outlet that he and his team have been looking at places “with a luxury component,” presumably so he can get well and continue living comfortably.
The insider added: “West’s team has been looking at treatment facilities for him.”
Page Six previously reported that Kanye expressed a desire to seek treatment to Kim.

At the time, an insider alleged: “For the sake of the kids, Kanye has told Kim he’s not making any public appearances or inflammatory social media statements, and he will go away somewhere to get better.”
The SKIMS founder and Chicago native share four kids: North, eight; Saint, six; Chicago, four; and Psalm, one.
Kanye’s rep told Page Six: “At this time, Ye is committed to a healthy co-parenting relationship with Kim and is focused on raising their beautiful children.”
The statement came after the Yeezy designer questioned his ex’s parenting online several times, slammed her boyfriend and claimed he will never get to meet their children.
It’s unclear at this time where Kanye plans to seek treatment.
An insider revealed: “Kanye hasn’t agreed to a particular place yet because he is worried for his privacy and wants the place to be in a beautiful setting with a luxury component.”
Per the outlet, there has been much discussion about potential facilities in Arizona.
Thailand and Bali are also said to be on the table.
CANCELING COACHELLA
News of the father of four’s plans to seek help comes after he pulled out of Coachella, which he was set to headline.
After the fact, TMZ reported that the decision cost him a pretty penny.
According to the outlet, Kanye lost $8 million for bailing on his commitment which included performances on both weekends of the festival.
Sources told TMZ that Coachella also planned to pay $500,000 in production costs.
Insiders with knowledge of the situation said that it appears Kanye might have been planning on quitting Coachella long before he made the announcement.
Sources noted that he never seriously rehearsed for the show, which other artists typically spend months doing.
Kanye reportedly had a team in place that had been talking with producers, but there was a lot of work that hadn’t even begun.
Still, Coachella staffers were reportedly caught off guard by the news that Kanye would be quitting.
They did not have anyone to fill his spot, at least not right away.
FILLING IN FOR YE
Organizers have since filled the headliner position with The Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia.
Sources say The Weeknd will be paid what Kanye was expected to earn for his participation.
Although The Weeknd is booked to perform, he’s also got a very specific list of demands.
According to the outlet, organizers reportedly tried to give The Weeknd less than Kanye was set to get paid.
Sources told Page Six that the singer threatened to pull out of the show if he wasn’t paid the same amount the Donda rapper was offered – $8.5 million.
HELPING HAND
In early April, it was widely reported that Kanye confessed to ex-wife Kim that he was “going away to get help.”
A source close to the Kardashians told Page Six: “For the sake of the kids, Kanye has told Kim he’s not making any public appearances or inflammatory social media statements, and he will go away somewhere to get better.”
The source said that “at this time, Ye is committed to a healthy co-parenting relationship with Kim and is focused on raising their beautiful children.”

Jason Lee, the rapper’s Head of Media Partnerships, told Yahoo that the report about Kanye was “simply untrue.”
He said: “Ye’s been focused on taking care of himself, being a present and loving father and a creative genius.”
