The 32-year-old, who has been in the spotlight a lot recently after having an altercation with country singer Taylor Swift at the recent MTV Video Music Awards, may have to check into rehab to sort out his problems.
Reportedly, Kanye has been drinking heavily ever since his mum Donda died in 2007 after having a tummy tuck.
An insider said: "His drinking is getting worse — and when he has too much, he can be mean and obnoxious. If he doesn't get help soon, things could really spiral out of control."
The source added: "Kanye's afraid to go to rehab, but he knows he needs help and is taking steps in the right direction."
Supposedly West doesn't remember storming the stage at the VMAs and interrupting Taylor Swift because he was so drunk.
