Kanye West Expresses Regret Over Fathering Children with Kim Kardashian in Candid Interview
In a startling admission during a recent interview with DJ Akademiks, rapper Kanye West, now known as Ye, voiced remorse regarding his past marriage to Kim Kardashian and their shared children. The controversial artist made the remarks during an hour-long conversation posted on YouTube on Sunday, sparking widespread discussion about Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, and their children.
Regrets About Parenthood
During the lengthy and at times offensive interview, Ye, 47, stated that he lamented conceiving children with his former wife, Kim Kardashian, 44. He admitted, “That was my fault,” and elaborated, “I didn’t desire to have children with this individual after the initial two months of our relationship, but that was not divine providence.”
Co-Parenting Challenges and Custody Disputes
West also highlighted the ongoing tensions surrounding co-parenting, stating, “I don’t possess the name and likeness ownership, or at least a 50-50 split with my kids.” He alluded to a ‘nuclear’ conflict with Kardashian over their two sons and two daughters, questioning the nature of their joint custody arrangement.
Former Marriage and Children
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were married from 2014 to 2021. Their six-year marriage resulted in four children: North, 11, Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, and Psalm, five.
Bianca Censori’s Pregnancy Rumors Amidst Marital Speculation
This revelation surfaces amidst reports concerning West’s current wife, Bianca Censori. Sources indicated to DailyMail.com that Censori is allegedly planning to become pregnant in an attempt to salvage their marriage, which has been plagued by divorce rumors. Concerns have been raised about potential ulterior motives behind this plan.
Concerns Over Children’s Exposure and Influence
In the interview with Akademiks, West further expressed apprehension about his children’s public profile, stating, “My kids are celebrities and I lack control.” He voiced unease over the perceived influence of Kardashian’s family, saying, “So this white woman and this white family wield control over these highly influential Black children who are half children of Ye.”
Social Media Criticism and Parental Disagreements
Recently, Ye’s criticism of Kardashian extended to social media. He aired grievances on X, formerly Twitter, expressing discomfort with a white woman managing his Black children. These comments followed disagreements regarding a planned musical collaboration between their daughter North and rapper Playboi Carti, which West opposed. Contention also arose over West’s own musical project featuring North and Diddy.
Andrew Tate Incident and Further Controversies
Reports circulated that Kardashian abruptly ended a visit between North and West upon learning of Andrew Tate’s intended presence. During the interview, West reiterated past controversial statements made on X, including remarks about Jay-Z’s children and others. When questioned about disparaging the late Virgil Abloh, West responded, “I’m evil. I’m an evil person.”
Iggy Azalea and Kris Jenner Accusations
West also mentioned Iggy Azalea, asserting she is cautious about Kris Jenner around her child. He proceeded to imply accusations concerning Jenner and “signed-for” sex tapes, adding to the interview’s already contentious nature.
Provocative Attire and On-Air Outfit Change
The interview was marked by further controversy as West intentionally donned provocative attire for his discussion with DJ Akademiks. He initially wore a T-shirt referencing Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and a swastika chain. Adding to the shock value, West changed outfits during the interview, emerging in a black, Ku Klux Klan-inspired hood and cape, stating he had a white version custom-made as well.
Defense of Diddy Amidst Legal Issues
Throughout the interview, West defended Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, referring to him as his “twin,” despite the rapper’s current legal battles and serious allegations.
Recent Antisemitic Remarks and Backlash
West’s recent interview follows a pattern of erratic behavior and antisemitic remarks. His inner circle is reportedly diminishing, and talent agent Daniel McCartney terminated their professional relationship due to West’s “harmful and hateful remarks.” Earlier in the year, West faced backlash for antisemitic posts on X after his reinstatement by Elon Musk, including praising Jewish people while making derogatory statements. His social media activity escalated to praising Hitler and dismissing antisemitism. The Anti-Defamation League condemned West’s promotion of a swastika-emblazoned T-shirt, particularly during a Super Bowl advertisement, labeling his actions as blatant antisemitism.
