"THANK YOU DAVE FOR HOPPING ON A JET TO COME SEE ME DOING WELL DAVE YOU ARE A GOD SEND AND A TRUE FRIEND ALL LOVE," the “Jesus Walks” performer wrote alongside a video of himself with Chappelle and a few other men.

In the video, West egged Chappelle, 46, to "please just make us smile, the world needs some, we need some joy, we need to smile."
"We need some joke, something. Something to like lift our spirits," added West, eliciting a response from Chappelle: "S---, I don’t know, I’m still on my first cup of coffee. Let me think of a good joke.”

"Ah, that was it!" West fired back in approval.

The rapper, who has been flirting with a presidential run as an independent candidte, went on a Twitter rant Monday night and issued a diatribe in some tweets -- that have since been deleted -- where he appeared to reach out to his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, mentioned his marriage with Kim Kardashian and said he feels that he could end up getting “locked up like Mandela,” an apparent reference to Nelson Mandela.

He also wrote: "Kim was trying to fly to Wyoming with a doctor to lock me up like on the movie ‘Get Out’ because I cried about saving my daughters life yesterday."
"Everybody knows the movie get out is about me,” he added in an additional tweet.
