Kanye West has been sporting a smile more and more. Check out RadarOnline.com's gallery to see the proof that anger management classes and therapy have helped change his dour attitude .
Kanye West has been sporting a rarely seen smile lately! The controversial rapper, known for his scowl, is beaming more often now that he’s attending anger management classes and therapy sessions with a specialist.
The Yeezus singer has been seeking help for his sullen attitude, according to a new report in Reveal.
West was ordered to attend 24 sessions of anger management therapy after his fight with a paparazzo at LAX, and they seem to have done the trick.
"After a while, he grew to enjoy the sessions," a friend of the rapper told Reveal about the therapy.
"They were a chance for an hour of peace each week in his crazy world, where he could get things off his chest without anyone judging him," the friend said about his court-ordered sessions.
West was so happy with the results that he hired the specialist to help him privately, Reveal claims. "They rarely meet face-to-face any more, but they do Skype or phone sessions almost every day."
And it works! "Kanye says it's very calming — and he firmly believes he's becoming a better person," the friend said.
His wife, Kim Kardashian, has noticed the change. "Kim's amazed at the difference in Kanye," the source said. "He's usually so tense and flies off the handle over almost anything. The general aura of the house is so much more peaceful since he started getting help."
The joy young North West brings to her proud father must surely have made a difference, too. "He still relapses occasionally, but he's not the same brooding, angry Kanye of old," the insider said.
