Kanye & Kim AT WAR - SCANDAL, LIES & CONTROL

THE EXES ENGAGE IN A VICIOUS – AND VERY PUBLIC – BATTLE OVER THEIR KIDS

- Jennie Noonan

It’s been almost a year since Kim Kardashian officially filed for divorce from her rapper husband Ye – formerly known as Kanye West – but their split still hasn’t been finalised and now their previously amicable co-parenting relationship has taken a sudden and sour turn.

Tensions ramped up in November when Ye became vocal about wanting to reconcile with Kardashian, even though she was dating comedian Pete Davidson. He’s since kicked off a whirlwind romance of his own with actress and designer Julia Fox. Still, the rapper has become increasingly critical about Kardashian’s parenting of their four children, North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2, openly airing his grievances about custody issues in interviews and on social media.

The final straw for Kardashian, 41, came after Ye publicly disapproved of North’s joint TikTok account with her mum. “SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST DIVORCE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO ABOUT MY DAUGHTER BEING PUT ON TIK TOK AGAINST MY WILL?” he wrote in an Instagram post, taking a jab at his thrice-married ex whom he tagged in the post.

The reality star responded with her own social media statement. “Kanye’s constant need for attacking me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any TikTok North might create,” she posted. She went on to describe herself as “the main provider and caregiver for our children”, and defended her daughter’s supervised social media use as a way of “allowing her to express her creativity”.
