TMZ reports that the rapper was at his trainer, Harley Pasternak's home and being checked out by one of his doctors for severe sleep deprivation when he began "acting erratically."
Someone called the police to perform a welfare check on West. By the time the Los Angeles Fire Department arrived West had calmed down some, but refused to be taken to the hospital.

Within the last several days West has exhibited strange behavior.
During a show in San Jose Thursday, November 17, the rapper was booed as he ranted about his support for Donald Trump.
Two days later he cut his show short in Sacramento after only three songs, following a long diatribe about Beyonce, Jay Z, Drake, DJ Khaled, MTV and radio station programmers.
Finally, on Sunday, November 20, West abruptly cancelled a show in Los Angeles three hours before it was set to begin.

Birdman has pulled the plug on contract negotiations with Lil Wayne ... at least for now.
TMZ reports that the two were close to reaching a settlement on Wayne's $51 million breach-of-contract lawsuit, until Weezy declared his allegiance to Roc-A-Fella Records during a concert in Los Angeles last weekend.
At this point, Wayne is saying fuck Cash Money for life. This Roc-A-Fella shout-out was random tho: pic.twitter.com/DiJoo7zJWC
Aswe reported at the time, Wayne changed the lyrics in the chorus of the song "I'm Me" from "I'm a motherfucking Cash Money Millionaire" to "I'm a motherfucking Roc-A-Fella millionaire."
Birdman, who is said to have issues withJay Z,felt disrespected and decided to halt settlement talks with his "son."
Wayne filed the lawsuit in January of this year against Baby and Cash Money Records.
The suit claims that Cash Money violated the deal in three ways.
1. Not paying Wayne an $8 million advance when he began recording Tha Carter V in December 2013.
2. Failing to pay Wayne an additional $2 million upon completion of the album a year later.
Kanye West's bizarre rant in Sacramento during a concert on Saturday, November 19, has everyone talking, including other celebrities.

"This nigga crazy," Snoop says in the clip. "Have y'all heard this nigga? This nigga onstage .... this nigga crazier than the shit I got on my head. That nigga crazy. I can't believe he still talking. He picked the wrong night to vent like that. Them Sacramento niggas ain't feeling that shit. You should have had a bunch of weird motherfuckers like you in there when you was talking that weird ass shit. that's just my thought. I smoke weed. Weed don't make you do that. What the fuck is he on?"
As we previously reported, West launched into a lengthy diatribe about MTV, Jay Z, Beyonce, Drake, DJ Khaled, the radio industry and more before waslking off the stage after only performing three songs.
"I am putting my career, my life, my public well-standing at risk when I talk to y'all like this," he said during the rant.. "This is a moment in the matrix, bro. The vibes is back. Motherfuckers might feel a way about this tonight. Beyonce, I was hurt 'cause I heard that you said you wouldn’t perform unless you won Video of the Year over me and [Drake's] Hotline Bling. Now, don't go trying to diss Beyonce ... she is great. Taylor Swift is great. We are all great people," he continued. "We are all equal. But sometimes we be playing the politics too much and forget who we are just to win. Fuck winning! Fuck looking cool! Fuck being cool! Fuck all that! I've been sent here to give y'all my truth, at the risk of my own life. Even at the risk of my own success. My own career. Jay Z, call me. You still ain't called me. Jay Z, I know you got killers. Please don’t sent them at my head."

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Sergey Kovalev kept coming, and Andre Ward never stopped battling. With the crowd roaring in approval, they put on a fight that lived up to its advance billing.
In the end, Ward won a narrow decision Saturday night to take Kovalev's light heavyweight titles in a battle between two unbeaten boxers.
Ward survived a second-round knockdown and relentless pressure from Kovalev, doing just enough to win by a point on all three ringside scorecards. He remained unbeaten in his last 20 years in the ring, but it wasn't without some moments of worry.
"This was a beautiful thing. We did it baby," Ward said. "I'm a five-time world champion in two different weight classes. Man, it's amazing."
All three ringside judges had Ward winning 114-113. The Associated Press had Kovalev ahead 116-111.
"It was a fight of my life," Kovalev said. "I am disappointed in the judges' decision. He got maybe a few rounds, I agree with that. I kept control. I lost maybe three rounds the whole fight."
Ward won all of the last six rounds on two scorecards, and five of six on a third. He won the final round on two of the scorecards.
Kovalev knocked down Ward in the second round and chased him around the ring much of the early part of the fight. But Ward dug deep and managed to land some good punches of his own in a fight that built to a climax in the later rounds.
The crowd of 13,310 at the T-Mobile Arena was on its feet in the late rounds as the two fighters went after each other, neither giving an inch. In the end, the judges favored Ward's counter punching against the aggressive style of Kovalev.
"We were a little careless with that knockdown in the second round," said Ward's trainer, Virgil Hunter. "But we landed the cleaner punches"
Both fighters were unbeaten with almost identical records. Ward was 30-0 with 15 knockouts and Kovalev was 30-0-1 with 26 knockouts.
It was a classic boxer versus puncher battle, and it looked like the puncher would prevail as Kovalev won the early rounds. But Ward kept punching and landed some good shots of his own in the middle rounds, and there were plenty of close rounds that could have gone either way.
"I knew it was going to be a tough fight — it was the 1st time in my career I was dropped," Ward said. "He did everything I expected him to do. He started to fight like I expected."
Kovalev's promoter, Kathy Duva, said she would use the rematch clause in the contract for a second fight.
"He won the first six rounds so I don't know how he could lose a decision," Duva said. "I'm happy we had a great fight. Boxing needed a great fight.
The fight was billed as a matchup of U.S. and Russian fighters, with the 2004 Olympic gold medalist Ward against a Russian who lives mostly in the Los Angeles area. It was a classic matchup of puncher versus boxer, and for the early part of the fight the puncher was winning.
Kovalev flashed his power early, hitting Ward with a left hand midway through the first round that briefly wobbled Ward's legs. Ward grabbed and held on and finished the round jabbing at the Russian, but the tone of the fight was set early.
Midway through the second round, both fighters threw right hands but it was Kovalev's that landed flush to the side of Ward's head, putting him on the canvas. He got up quickly and smiles as if not hurt but needed all of his supreme defensive skills to make it out of the round.
Ward seemed unwilling to go inside after that, moving backward and trying to land jabs to control the action. But he abandoned the style that had served him so well over the years and fought moving backward, throwing only one punch at a time, as Kovalev constantly pressed the attack.
Ward did have some moments, including the seventh round when he landed a good left that snapped Kovalev's head back.
Ward earned $5 million, while Kovalev was paid $2 million plus a percentage of pay-per-view.
On the undercard, two-time Olympic gold medalist Claressa Shields made her pro debut a successful one, winning a decision over Franchon Crews in a four-round super middleweight fight.
Shields came back from a slow first round to land the bigger punches in an entertaining fight. Both women, fighting without headgear for the first time, traded punches freely but Shields won all over four rounds on the scorecards of the three ringside judges.
Shields, who became the first American woman to win a gold medal in the 2012 Olympics and added another in Rio in August, had vowed to be impressive in her first pro fight. And she wasn't shy about trading punches with Franchon, a Baltimore fighter who lost to her during the Olympic trials in 2012.
