Kanye West’s latest livestream rant, in which he emotionally claimed he’s being kept from his four children with Kim Kardashian, continues a pattern of highly public complaints he’s made about their custody arrangement since their 2022 divorce. While Ye insists he’s being denied meaningful access to North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, his claims are often contradicted by public sightings, like photos showing him with three of the kids in Tokyo earlier this year.
The livestream, where he wore a black mask and delivered expletive-laden remarks, drew concern both for its chaotic tone and the inflammatory language used. He vented not only about Kim but also directed blame toward celebrities, lawyers, and larger societal forces, alleging an agenda against him and accusing the Kardashians and affiliated media of stripping him of parental rights.
Meanwhile, sources close to Kim Kardashian countered West’s accusations, saying he is allowed to see the children whenever he wants but that she prioritizes their emotional safety and stability, implying she avoids exposing them to unpredictable environments.
This latest episode underscores the volatile and often contradictory public nature of West’s grievances, as well as the challenge of reconciling his words with confirmed events and legal realities.
