Audio of the 911 call made prior to Kanye West's hospitalization has been released.

In it a man who identifies himself as the 39-year-old rapper's doctor could be heard making the call on November 21 while asking for assistance from paramedics and police backup.

The dispatcher seemed to be a little concerned about the Life Of Pablo hitmaker's behavior so he advised the person on the other end: 'Don't let him get any weapons or anything like that.'

Revealed: Audio of the 911 call made prior to Kanye West's hospitalization has been released on Thursday, as the rapper is pictured last month at LAX Airport

In the obtained audio, which was in snippets, it does not specifically identify West but there was concern expressed on it regarding his behavior.

'I think he's definitely going to need to be hospitalized,' the caller said. 'I wouldn't just do the police by itself.'

West's personal physician Dr. Michael Farzam was the one who made the call according to TMZ.

There are several parts of the dialogue that were indistinguishable and no response could be heard when the operator asks:  'What is the medical condition he’s having, sir?'

Toward the end of the call the dispatcher offers a bit of advice to the concerned party as he says: 'Keep an eye on him. Don’t let him get any … any weapons or anything like that. 

'If anything changes, if he does become physically combative between now and when police and/or paramedics get there, call us back immediately at 911.'

Progress: West had been in UCLA Medical Center and is now home, just over one week after he was first hospitalized following an apparent breakdown. The hospital is pictured above

The call was made around 1:20 pm on November 21.

Eventually authorities arrived at the residence and West was taken to the UCLA Medical Center later that day. 

On Wednesday TMZ reported, citing agency X17, that the Famous rapper had left the medical facility having been released to the care of his physician Dr. Farzam and was back home with his family.

Tough times: It has been a rough few weeks for Kanye and wife Kim Kardashian as she was robbed at gunpoint of a reported $11 million in jewellery in Paris last month. He has reportedly been having nightmares about the incident

Muse: Kim's 'near death' experience reportedly left Kanye 'completely freaked out' and the fact it happened near the nine-year anniversary of the loss of his mother Donda reportedly only deepened the rapper's distress

DailyMail.com has reached out to Kanye's reps for comment.

However, his release does not mean he will be imminently returning to work. Sources tell TMZ that all concerts are cancelled indefinitely and there is not set date for his return to the stage.

Moving on: On November 20  Kanye cancelled his show at the L.A. Forum, and the following day he cancelled the rest of his tour and was later taken to the hospital. He is pictured on his Saint Pablo Tour date in New York City back in September

It was that incident that has been giving Kanye nightmares, according to some published reports this week, exacerbating his depression and anxiety that came with the ninth year anniversary of his mother Donda's death.

Donda died at the age of 58 after suffering complications from elective surgery. 

Her funeral was November 20 - the same day Kanye cancelled his show at the L.A. Forum, and the following day he cancelled the rest of his tour and was later taken to the hospital. 

Kim and Kanye started dating in 2012 and wed in May 2014. They have two children, North, three, and Saint, who turns one on December 5.
