Rapper Kanye West has revealed that he was diagnosed with a "mental condition" when he was 39. He called it a "superpower".

"I had never been diagnosed until I was 39," Kanye, now 40, said during an interview recorded with radio host Big Boy following the 40-year-old rapper's Wyoming party for his new album "YE", reports people.com.

After clarifying that he was diagnosed with a "mental condition", Kanye added: "But like I said on the album, it's not a disability, it's a superpower".

Although the musician declined to specify what he had been diagnosed with during the interview, Kanye had already confirmed on his new album that he is bipolar, calling it his "superpower".
