Rapper Kanye West is reportedly enrolling in anger management classes - to tackle his frequent mood swings.

The outspoken hip-hop star has made several public outbursts in the past - and his representatives are allegedly eager to resolve the problem.

A source tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "Kanye's management team came up with the idea.

"His mood swings were beginning to play a part in his commercial enterprises as people felt he was miserable all the time."

West hit the headlines in September 2005 for making a controversial attack on U.S. president George W. Bush during a live Hurricane Katrina fundraising telethon.
