Shortly after tweeting and then deleting several heated messages about Drake over the weekend, the 41-year-old rapper shared that 2018 was a “beautiful” year. “We’re super happy,” he tweeted on Sunday, seemingly referencing the family he shares with wife Kim Kardashian West, as he began his uplifting social media spree. “2018 was so beautiful,” he continued, adding, “I got to be myself and nobody had to ‘let me.’ ” West, who previously announced earlier this month that he had been medication-free for six months, went on to share that he’s still “drug free and my spirit is connected.” (Months after telling the world that he had bipolar disorder — and even referencing it on the cover his album Ye back in June — West said in October that he was “misdiagnosed” with the condition.) “We feel soooo much love. So much good energy. So much good will,” he continued. “I feel stronger than ever We are stronger than ever.” Kanye West Lashes Out at Drake for Following His Wife on Instagram Amid Feud The Ye rapper went on to share that he’s “already so thankful for the blessings” to come in 2019, before adding that “everything happens for a reason.” West went on to thank all of his fans who chose to stand by him after his tumultuous year, which included his infamous comments about slavery, numerous Twitter rants, public feuds, as well as his emphatic support of President Donald Trump. “We appreciate all the real ones who made it through 2018 with us. Thank goodness for all of our fans and supporters,” he wrote, adding, “even the haters.

Switching gears, West seemed to be speaking for both himself and his wife when he wrote, “We truly wish this man the best and pray that he will find the same happiness that we have.” In a series of tweets that have not been deleted, West simply wrote, “Love everyone,” and “All positive vibes.” Kim Kardashian West/Instagram Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Buying Miami Condo Listed for $15.5 Million West, who’s currently vacationing with his wife and the KarJenners in Colorado, is spending his final days of 2018 surrounded by family.

Showing just how happy he was to spend time together as a family, the rapper — who’s not always a fan of smiling in photos — had a big grin on his face in all of the images.
