Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, is prepared to engage in a heated custody battle if his ex-wife Kim Kardashian files for sole custody of their four children.
This latest drama stems from Kanye’s controversial decision to release a song featuring their 11-year-old daughter, North West, despite Kim’s objections.
The song, titled “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine,” features North rapping alongside Christian “King” Combs, the son of Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently incarcerated awaiting trial. Kanye posted the track on social media platform X, sparking significant backlash and public debate about the appropriateness of involving their child in such a public controversy.
Kanye’s decision to defy Kim’s wishes has intensified an already tense co-parenting situation. The rapper’s recent behavior has led Kardashian to reportedly consider filing for sole custody, fearing further unpredictable decisions.
An insider source close to Kanye told The U.S. Sun: “Kanye will fight Kim all the way. He and North are very close, and losing custody would devastate him. However, he’s surrounded by people who encourage his behavior, making a resolution even harder.”
In recent months, Kanye’s mental health has been publicly questioned following a series of erratic posts on social media, including accusations directed at Kim and her family, further escalating tensions between the former couple. Kanye’s recent posts suggest he feels restricted by their current custody arrangement, comparing visitation to “being in prison.”
The potential custody dispute between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian comes amidst other controversies involving Ye, including his public antisemitic statements and association with contentious public figures. With Kanye’s public image increasingly under scrutiny, the outcome of this custody dispute could significantly impact his personal life and public perception.
Both Kardashian and West currently share joint custody following their 2022 divorce, finalized after lengthy negotiations. Given the heated developments, experts suggest that this legal battle could become particularly contentious.
The ongoing saga highlights broader concerns about celebrity parenting, boundaries on using children in public content, and the complex dynamics of family life under intense public scrutiny.
