Blac Chyna - who shares a three-year-old daughter, Dream, with Rob Kardashian, has thrown her support behind Kanye West, asserting that his tweets about his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, "should not be ignored".

Earlier this week, Kanye alleged that Kim Kardashian tried to get a doctor to "lock" him up after he spoke about how the couple considered an abortion while expecting their first child, North West. These tweets have since been deleted.

The rapper, who says he is running for the 2020 presidential candidacy, told a crowd in South Carolina last Sunday that a message from God convinced him to keep the baby, who was born in 2013.

West, who has been open about his bipolar disorder diagnosis, took to Twitter on Monday evening to claim that his reality television star wife attempted to bring a doctor to his ranch in Wyoming. He even compared the situation to Jordan Peele's 2017 horror film, Get Out, which sees disturbing psychological tricks used on Daniel Kaluuya's character.

"Everybody knows the movie get out is about me," he wrote in one of the deleted tweets. He went onto to demand that Kim and his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, "call me now".

"I put my life on my God that Norths mom would never photograph her doing playboy and that’s on God I’m at the ranch ... come and get me," he continued.

The rapper also tweeted: "Kriss don’t play with me you and that calmye are not allowed around my children. Ya’ll tried to lock me up." He then posted a screenshot of a text he sent to his mother-in-law, which read: "This is Ye. You ready to talk now or are still avoiding my calls."

Now, Blac Chyna's lawyer, Lynne Ciani, told Page Six in a statement, per The Sun, that Kanye's assertions about his mother-in-law should not be wholly ignored.

"Chyna of course wants her daughter Dream’s 'Uncle Kanye' to get whatever help he needs," Ciani said. "However, Chyna does not want all of his recent statements regarding his mother-in-law summarily dismissed as 'crazy' as some people apparently would like to do."

The lawyer added that Chyna believes claims against the 64-year-old momager, "should not be entirely ignored."

On July 22nd, Kim issued a statement on Kanye West's mental health.

The reality television star took to her Instagram Stories today (Wednesday, 22nd July) to call for "compassion" and "empathy", as she discussed her husband's bipolar disorder. The follows the rapper posting a slew of tweets that prompted widespread concern.

"As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar [sic] disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand," Kim wrote.

"I've never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye's right to privacy when it comes to his health. But today, I feel like I should comment on it because of the stigma and misconceptions about mental health," the mother-of-four continued.

"Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor. People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try."

While the 39-year-old noted that she "understands" that Kanye is "subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at times can cause strong opinions and emotions," she added: "He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bi-polar disorder. Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words some times do not align with his intentions."
