Kanye West, now known as Ye, made a shocking confession about his past marriage with Kim Kardashian and their children during a controversial interview with DJ Akademiks. The hour-long conversation, uploaded to YouTube on Sunday, was filled with explosive statements from the 47-year-old rapper.
West admitted that he regretted having children with Kardashian, 44, saying, “That was my fault. I didn’t want to have children with this person after the first two months of being with her, but that wasn’t God’s plan.”
He also voiced frustration over their custody arrangement, questioning, “I don’t got the name and likeness ownership, or at least 50-50 with my kids. So how’s it joint custody?” The former couple, who were married for six years from 2014 to 2021, share four children: North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5.
Kanye West vs. Kim Kardashian: Ongoing Feud Over Their Kids
West’s comments come amid ongoing tensions with Kardashian, particularly regarding their children’s public image. In a series of recent tweets, the 24-time Grammy winner expressed discomfort with a “white woman” controlling his Black children, referring to Kardashian’s influence over their lives.
One of his main concerns was a planned musical collaboration between North and rapper Playboi Carti, 28, which West strongly opposes. Ironically, just a week prior, West himself had released a song featuring North and Diddy, sparking further drama between him and Kardashian.
Reports also surfaced that Kardashian abruptly ended one of North’s visits with West after learning that controversial figure Andrew Tate, who faces human trafficking charges in Romania, was set to be present.
