Kim Kardashian is reportedly at her wit’s end as Kanye West continues to exhibit increasingly erratic behaviour.
KIM KARDASHIAN VS KANYE
Sources close to the family reveal that Kim, 44, is deeply concerned about the well-being of her children, particularly after a series of alarming incidents involving Kanye, now 47.
The latest drama unfolded when Kim discovered that Kanye planned to meet controversial figures Andrew and Tristan Tate during a visitation with their eldest daughter, North West.
The Tates, who face serious criminal charges in Romania, are not individuals Kim wants near her children, according to Page Six.
“Kim was horrified,” shared a source. “She immediately called her lawyers to discuss custody arrangements.”
KANYE WEST’S CONTROVERSIAL SONG
Adding fuel to the fire, Kanye recently released a song featuring North and jailed rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
The track sparked outrage as it included a recorded conversation with Combs, who is awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, according to The Independent.
North’s participation has left Kim questioning Kanye’s judgement. “She’s considering applying for sole custody,” the insider added.
KIM KARDASHIAN AND KANYE’S FAMILY LIFE
Kim and Kanye were married from 2014 to 2022. They share four children: North (11), Saint (9), Chicago (7), and Psalm (5).
Since their split, they’ve agreed to joint custody, but Kim Kardashian has often described herself as a “single mum.”
In a candid interview last year, she admitted, “No matter what kind of help I have, I’m raising four kids by myself.”
Kanye’s recent actions have only strained the situation further.
BIZARRE RANTS
The rapper-turned-designer has spent much of his time abroad with his new wife, Bianca Censori, living between Japan and other locations, according to Collider.
Despite his frequent absences, Kanye West has taken to social media with bizarre rants about his children and accusations against Kim.
In one post, he labelled her an “old white lady” controlling his “Black children.”
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
Kanye’s mental health has been a longstanding issue. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder and autism, he has openly admitted to not taking his prescribed medication.
A close source stated, “He’s sinking further down and not acting rationally. It’s scary for everyone involved.”
The situation worsened after Kanye West returned to Los Angeles earlier this year. Reports suggest he has been abusing nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas.
His erratic behaviour includes hosting far-right figures like Nick Fuentes at his warehouse and wearing a swastika chain in public. This move drew widespread condemnation.
NORTH AND KANYE WEST
Kim has made it clear that her priority is shielding her children from negative influences.
She abruptly ended North’s visit with Kanye after security informed her about the Tates’ potential presence. “Kim won’t expose her kids to hate speech or dangerous people,” said a family friend.
Despite the turmoil, North remains close to her father.
A source noted, “North loves him; she’s definitely Ye’s girl.” However, the same cannot be said for the younger siblings, who reportedly spend little time with Kanye.
PRIVACY AND STABILITY
As Kim navigates these challenges, she remains focused on protecting her family’s privacy and stability.
Legal experts suggest that she may have grounds for sole custody if Kanye’s behaviour continues to deteriorate.
One thing is certain: this high-profile custody battle is far from over.
As South Africans watch this drama unfold from afar, it serves as a reminder of the importance of mental health support and responsible parenting—no matter how famous you are.
