AceShowbiz - Kanye West and Kim Kardashian dispute is far from over. The rapper went ballistic with his ex-wife in his latest rant amid their ongoing clash over the release of his Diddy tribute song which features the couple's daughter North West.
The new conflict began when Playboi Carti gave Kim and North a shout-out, "@kimkardashian TELL MY NIECE NORTH SEND ME A SONG," in response to Kim sharing Carti's new track lyrics on her Instagram story.
Ye took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express his disdain, criticizing her for being a "hypocrite" and claiming, "SO KIM GOT THE NAME AND LIKENESS OVER MY BLACK CHILDREN."
He further added, "SO A WHITE WOMEN [sic] HAS CONTROL OVER THE NAME AND LIKENESS OF MY BLACK CHILDREN AND THEN SPEAKS TO CARTI ABOUT PUTTING MY DAUGHTER ON A SONG WITH HIM."
The posts, which have since been deleted, highlighted Ye's belief that he should have the final say regarding their children's involvement in the music industry.
This added to Kanye's initial frustration which stemmed from previous attempts to release a song titled "Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine," featuring Diddy's speech and North's vocals.
Despite a cease and desist from Kardashian and an emergency mediation to prevent the song's release, Ye went ahead and shared it on Saturday. Kim reminded Kanye she had trademark of their children's names.
Ye's recent outburst also included references to past events, such as Carti backing out of an album collaboration due to backlash over Ye's antisemitic comments.
The rapper felt slighted by Carti's request to include his daughter's vocals shortly after dropping him from a project, "I DECIDED NORTH WONT [sic] BE DOING ANY SONGS WITH CARTI HOW IT LOOK FOR ME TO GET LEFT OFF THE ALBUM AND THEN HE ASK KIM TO HAVE VOCALS FROM MY DAUGHTER."
As the dispute continues to unfold publicly, representatives for both Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have yet to provide further comments. The high-profile clash underscores ongoing issues related to co-parenting and creative control, set against the complex backdrop of the celebrity music industry.
