Kanye West returned to the public eye just before the weekend, making his first public appearance since his highly publicized mental breakdown.

The music genius was released a few days ago after being on watch for over a week, and was spotted at an art installation at the Pacific Design Center rocking new blonde hair (see above).

While Yeezy is getting things back in order, one of his music counterparts, Rick Ross, had a few things to say about his “breakdown” and told a crowd of folks over the weekend, that Ye’s incident was nothing more than a stunt.

Via TMZ:

Kanye West is a great actor who fooled everyone into thinking he was melting down, at least according to Rick Ross, who’s giving ‘Ye props for pulling off a stunt — but trust us, it’s no stunt.

During a NY appearance Sunday night, Rick said Kanye’s an absolute “genius” for playing everyone out the way he did. Ross is tight with Kanye, so you might think he’s preaching the gospel here.

Truth is though, Kanye really was fighting deep paranoia during his 8 day stay in a hospital. We know from multiple sources … this was no stunt.

Still, check out Ricky Rozay’s take. We know he’s not the only one who thinks this.
