The 35-year-old music manager feels "blessed" that his client is also a friend, and insists the rapper - who was hospitalised last month suffering from sleep deprivation and exhaustion - is on the road to recovery after being discharged from UCLA Medical Centre last week.

She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "[Kanye] is a fantastic individual and I am blessed to call him my friend. He's doing great, thank you."

On Thursday, the newly-blonde rapper was photographed for the first time since leaving hospital as he visited an art exhibit in Los Angeles.

In a photo posted on Instagram by artist Giovanni Bassan, the 'Famous' rapper ooked relaxed as he sat backstage at MOCA's Pacific Design Centre.

The photo - which was posted to Giovanni's private account and made public by multiple sources - was reportedly captioned: "K s in da house (sic)"

The news of the 'Gold Digger' singer's venture out of the house comes after it was previously reported the Kanye - who has three-year-old daughter North and 12-month-old son Saint with wife Kim Kardashian West - was feeling more relaxed now that he's returned to his Bel-Air mansion.

Kanye has even built a temporary studio in his mansion and is now making new music, according to the gossip website TMZ.

But the decision to launch himself back into his work might not come as a surprise to his famous family, as he reportedly wanted to work on his music and clothing line whilst he was still recovering in hospital.

A source said: "Kanye keeps wanting to work. At the hospital, he requested that recording equipment be brought to the hospital so he can record in his bed. And he has kept asking to see sketches of his fashion lines.

"He continues to want to work and Kim has to keep telling him to rest."
