After his meltdown last night on Twitter, Kanye West– promoting his new album– welcomed fellow mental illness warrior Dave Chappelle to his ranch in Wyoming.

Chappelle, in 2005, checked himself into a mental health clinic in South Africa after walking away from his TV and millions of dollars. It took a long time, but in recent years he’s made a phenomenal comeback to show biz on his own terms.

Kanye needed to see a pal. He wrote on Twitter: “THANK YOU DAVE FOR HOPPING ON A JET TO COME SEE ME DOING WELL DAVE YOU ARE A GOD SEND AND A TRUE FRIEND ALL LOVE”

Kanye also welcomed two guys named 88 MNOP, who no one seems to know, and thanked them for each dressing in orange.

This will be a week of stunts and outbursts leading up to the release of “Donda” on Thursday night. There is, however, no more about running for president. Meanwhile, daughter North West is negotiating to write a book called “I Was Almost Aborted by Kanye West.”
