Here’s a big non-shocker: Kanye West has a problem with alcohol and is always getting into rowdy drunken states where he loses control of reality. Umm…duh?

Now it appears that the controversial rapper is en route for a stint in rehab.

“His drinking is getting worse,” a source tells the Daily Star. “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.”

Kanye will check into rehab as soon as he finishes his ‘Fame Kills’ tour with Lady GaGa in January.

“Kanye doesn’t want to spend time in rehab but knows he needs help and is taking steps in the right direction,” the insider adds. “He’s been boozing heavily ever since his mother died following her tummy tuck operation a few years ago.”

Mr. West recently revealed on The Jay Leno Show that he’ll soon take some time off to reevaluate his career.
