Beyoncé and Jay-Z consider legal action against Kanye West after his inflammatory remarks about their children

The pair are said to be weighing up the move after scandal-plagued rapper Kanye, 47, made inflammatory social media comments about their seven-year-old twins Rumi and Sir.

He posted now-deleted remarks questioning the mental abilities of the children, apparently now prompting power couple and his former friends Beyoncé and Jay-Z to explore possible responses. A source told Page Six: “They are discussing how to handle the situation, whether privately or through legal channels.”

The source emphasised Beyoncé, 42, and Jay-Z, 54, “will absolutely not tolerate” Kanye’s comments about their children, calling the language he used “vulgar and offensive”.

Even though Kanye later removed the post about their children, he denied doing so out of remorse.

He wrote on X: “I need everyone to know that I took the post about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s family down… because there was a possibility of my Twitter being cancelled.”

Kim Kardashian, 44, Kanye’s ex-wife, is also reportedly outraged by his comments.

A source added to Page Six: “Kim has had enough and she’s done trying to be reasonable with Kanye when it comes to communication.”

The insider also said regardless of whatever issues Kanye has with Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Kim firmly believes “kids are off-limits”, describing his comments as both “shocking and offensive.”

While their eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, 12, has been in the public eye since birth, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have taken a more private approach with Rumi and Sir, who have never attended red carpet events or award shows with their parents since their birth in June 2017.

The reports of potential legal action come after Kim reportedly ended an arranged visit between Kanye and their 11-year-old daughter, North, upon learning that highly controversial influencers Andrew Tate, 37, and Tristan Tate, 36, were also expected to be present.

Kanye recently made allegations against Kim, accusing her of exploiting their children in a series of deleted posts on X. They followed North’s appearance in a TikTok video and song with FKA Twigs.
