Kanye West has made some bold claims regarding his co-parenting arrangement with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, alleging that she has “taken” their children—North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5—from him. However, sources close to the family suggest the opposite, revealing that Kanye has access to the kids whenever he desires.
Kanye’s Emotional Claims on Social Media
In a series of tweets on X, Kanye accused not only Kim Kardashian but also celebrities like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Rihanna, and others of “watching” as Kim takes his children away from him. West expressed his frustration, tweeting: “Yall wanna say I’m acting out cause of things in my childhood But I don’t get to be a dad.”
He continued with a shocking declaration, claiming, “I HAVE TO SUPPRESS THE FACT THAT MY KIDS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME AND EVERYONE JUST WATCHES.”
Kanye’s Distress Over Limited Contact with Saint
Kanye also mentioned that he hadn’t seen his son Saint “this year,” despite being photographed together in January. The artist emphasized his desire to be more involved in his children’s lives, particularly regarding decisions about their education, friendships, and activities. A now-deleted tweet from March read, “I DONT WANT TO JUST ‘SEE’ MY KIDS. I NEED TO RAISE THEM…”
Kanye further alleged that the Kardashian family, Hulu, and Disney were involved in a “bigger agenda” using his children as “platforms to influence Black people.”
Kim Kardashian’s Response: Protecting the Children
In response to Kanye’s accusations, a source close to Kim Kardashian clarified that Kanye can see the children “anytime” he wants, with no limitations. However, Kim prioritizes protecting the kids from chaotic situations, which she has done in the past. The source pointed to multiple instances where Kim intervened, including blocking Kanye’s attempt to have their daughter North appear on a song with Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is facing serious legal charges, and stopping a visit when Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate, who face sexual assault charges, were also involved.
The insider added, “Kanye has been in LA recently for a few months and didn’t ask to see the kids aside from North until a week before he was leaving again.”
Kanye’s Mixed Messages
Despite the public outbursts, Kanye’s feelings about Kim seem complex. In a surprising tweet, Kanye acknowledged Kim’s role in North’s life, writing, “Kim saved North’s life.” He continued, “I wasn’t ready to have a child and she made sure North made it to this earth and I will always give her credit for this.”
While Kanye has consistently aired his grievances online, the ongoing drama between the two raises concerns for their children’s well-being. Kim’s protective stance has been evident as she navigates co-parenting with Kanye amid his public controversies.
What’s Next for Kanye and Kim’s Custody Arrangement?
The back-and-forth between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian is far from over, with Kanye continuing to make volatile statements and Kim staying focused on her children’s stability. For the sake of their four kids, it’s hoped that they can come to a clearer and healthier understanding regarding their custody agreement.
