In a recent outburst on social media, Kanye West, the renowned rapper and producer, voiced his frustration regarding his contentious co-parenting agreement with Kim Kardashian, his ex-wife and mother of their four children. On Saturday, West took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his grievances, accusing the so-called “Kardashian mob,” along with major media companies like Disney and Hulu, of interfering with his parenting rights.
“Yes I have beef with people that froze my account, took my kids away, and tried to put me in jail AND ITS STUCK,” West tweeted, highlighting his ongoing struggles in navigating co-parenting. He further elaborated, “I DONT WANT TO JUST ‘SEE’ MY KIDS. I NEED TO RAISE THEM. I NEED TO HAVE SAY SO OF WHERE THEY GO TO SCHOOL AND WHO THEIR FRIENDS ARE AND WHOSE HOUSES THEY SLEEP OVER,” pointing to his desire for a more active role in his children’s lives.
West, 47, expressed that his limited access to his children—North, 11, Saint, 9, Psalm, 7, and Chicago, 5—felt akin to “visitation” in a prison setting. “JUST SEEING MY KIDS IS LIKE VISITATION,” he tweeted, emphasizing the emotional toll that the current co-parenting dynamics have taken on him. He further lamented, “ITS LIKE IM IN PRISON ‘SEEING’ MY KIDS,” showcasing the depth of his distress regarding his relationship with his children.
In a dramatic turn, West accused the Kardashian family and the involved media companies of having a “bigger agenda” that he believes seeks to manipulate and influence the younger generation. “ALL THESE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME BY THE KARDASHIAN MOB, HULU, AND DISNEY,” he claimed, reflecting his belief that his children are being used as platforms to influence Black communities.
The timing of West’s outburst coincided with another controversy involving Kardashian, regarding their eldest daughter North’s potential appearance on a song with Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently incarcerated. West revealed that Kardashian had attempted to block the release of the track titled “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine.” In a since-deleted post, he shared a screenshot of a text message exchange with Kardashian, where she expressed concerns about trademarking North’s name and the implications of her involvement in the song.
West threatened to “go to war” if Kardashian did not amend the trademark situation, stating, “And neither of us will recover from the public fallout. You’re going to have to kill me.” This intense exchange underscores the ongoing tensions between the former couple.
An insider revealed to Page Six that Kardashian’s primary concern remains the well-being and safety of their children, stating that she aims to protect them from West’s controversial behavior. Sources from TMZ indicated that Kardashian does not want North to be associated with Combs, who is facing serious allegations, including sex trafficking and other claims of misconduct. Combs has maintained his innocence and has pleaded not guilty to these charges.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were married from 2014 until their divorce in 2022. The ongoing disputes between the two continue to draw significant media attention, reflecting the complexities of celebrity co-parenting amid public scrutiny.
