Kanye West vs Kim Kardashian: Rapper compares his life to prison when hitting out at ex-wife over access to their children
Kanye and Kim’s relationship was never out of the spotlight when they were married and the same is true even though they are divorced - with their children now dragged into public rows.
The former power couple have a long history of hitting out at each other over a huge range of things including their four children.
Now Kanye West has blasted the "Kardashian mob" in a scathing new rant on social media. It’s not the first time the unpredictable superstar has aired his dirty laundry in public and, once again, it is a row about parenting. It comes just days after controversy around his eldest daughter North appearing in a song with Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is in prison awaiting trial.
The Stronger rapper compared his life to being in prison - accusing his Kim and her famous family of limiting his access to the kids. He claims they also stop him from making key decisions about the children’s upbringing.
In a series of posts on X - formerly Twitter - Kanye wrote: "Yes I have beef with people that froze my account, took my kids away and have tried to put me in jail and IT'S STUCK ...
"I don't want to just 'see' my kids. I need to raise them. I need to have say so of where they go to school and who their friends are and whose houses they sleep over whether my daughters wear lipstick and perfume ...
"All these rights have been taken away from my by the Kardashian mob, Hulu and Disney and the biggest agenda to use the selectively bred Black children to be platforms to influence Black people."
He added: "Just seeing my kids is like visitation. It's like I'm in prison 'seeing' my kids. I don't care if I live or die or if I'm in jail or free ... "
Kim and Kanye were married between 2014 and 2022 and they are parents to North, 11, Saint, nine, Chicago, six, and Psalm, five.
Kanye's latest rant came after he threatened to "go to war" with Kim after she seemingly objected to North's voice being featured on a new song called 'Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunshine' which also features jailed rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is behind bars awaiting trial on charges including sex trafficking.
The rapper posted a screenshot of a text conversation seemingly between him and Kim in which they argued over trademarks of their children's names and Kanye finished by writing to his ex: "Amend it or we're going to war. And neither of us will recover from the public fall out.
"You're going to have to kill me."
The Mail Online has since reported Kim has taken legal action in a bid to block the song's release and to have it taken down from X after Kanye posted it on the social media platform.
