On Saturday, Kanye West continued to air his frustrations over splitting custody of his four children with his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian.
The 44-year-old rapper said his ex is blocking him from taking their children to a basketball game in Chicago, only a day after accusing the reality star, 41, for allowing their daughter North West to use TikTok.
‘I WANT TO BRING MY KIDS TO CHICAGO TO SEE MY BASKETBALL TEAM PLAY FOR 7,000 PEOPLE AND KIM IS STOPPING THAT HOW IS THIS JOINT CUSTODY?’ he said on Instagram.
On Friday, Kardashian and Kanye engaged in a social media brawl after the rapper claimed North was being forced to use TikTok ‘against his will.’
Kardashian is said to have stringent regulations around her eldest daughter’s use of TikTok, including not allowing her to have the app on her own phone when she went live without her consent in December.
According to TMZ, the elementary school girl must also have adult supervision when using her TikTok account.
‘Since this is my first divorce, I need to know what should I do about my daughter being put on TikTok without my will,’ the father-of-four wrote in the caption of a photo of his eldest kid on Instagram.
In a lengthy message on Instagram, Kim slammed Kanye’s ‘continuous attacks’ on her, accusing him of causing their family ‘suffering.’ She also referred to herself as the’main caregiver.’
‘What do you mean by primary provider?’ Kanye answered again, taking a screenshot of Kim’s comment and responding, ‘What do you mean by major provider?’ America witnessed you attempting to abduct my daughter on her birthday by failing to provide the address.’
‘You put security on me inside the house when I was playing with my son, then accused me of stealing. I had to take a drug test after Chicago’s party because you accused me of being high. Stop influencing Kim into becoming this way, Tracy Romulus.
Tracy Romulus is Kim Kardashian West Brands’ Chief Financial Officer and a close friend of the Hulu reality star.
‘Kanye’s relentless attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more damaging than whatever TikTok North might create,’ Kim wrote in a lengthy reaction to Kanye’s initial post.
‘As the primary provider and caretaker for our children, I am trying my best to safeguard our daughter while also enabling her to express herself creatively in whatever media she chooses with adult supervision – because it brings her joy.’
‘Divorce is hard enough on our kids, and Kanye’s preoccupation with attempting to control and manipulate our situation in such a nasty and public way is only making things worse for everyone.’
‘I have wanted a positive and supportive co-parenting relationship from the beginning because it is what is best for our children, and it saddens me that Kanye continues to make it impossible at every turn.’
‘I wish to handle all problems concerning our children quietly, and maybe he can finally reply to the third attorney he has hired in the last year to address any difficulties amicably,’ she concluded her statement.
It comes less than a month after Kanye indicated in a podcast that he did not want North to appear on the site, saying, “I’m not there to approve that.”
North is shown in a screengrab from a TikTok video posted three days ago from her official account, which she shares with her mother Kim.
‘Kim and North’ has 5.5 million followers on Instagram and includes a number of videos with North and Kim in them.
The account is’managed by an adult,’ likely her mother, according to the bio.
North and her mother Kim are seen moving the camera around and lip-syncing to a song in the original video, which has received over 1.4 million likes from fans.
Kim began using the account in November of last year. The account’s comments are disabled, safeguarding North from trolls’ unpleasant or inappropriate comments.
It’s the latest hint of strife between the ex-couple and their five children, North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two, who have currently shared custody.
Last month, Kanye delivered a tense interview with Hollywood Unlocked in which he implied that Kim, 41, was stopping him from seeing their children or making it difficult for him to visit them.
He also said he didn’t want his daughter to use TikTok.
‘If I’m not there to approve it, don’t have my daughter wearing lipstick on TikTok, or don’t have her on TikTok at all,’ he stated.
‘It was done without my knowledge, and it happened again, so I feel like it’s poking the bear, trying to provoke me or create this ‘crazy’ story.’
Kim continued to publish videos of herself and North on their combined TikTok account despite the remarks.
Meanwhile, Kanye added on the podcast that ‘no security’ will ‘come between me and my children,’ adding, ‘and you ain’t going to gaslight me.’
He further claimed that he was’stopped at the gate’ by Kim’s security when he tried to visit North on her recent birthday.
Kim filed for divorce from Kanye in February of last year, and the former couple’s relationship had been amicable at first, with the Hulu reality star assisting the rapper in the promotion of his last album, Donda.
When Kim moved on romantically with SNL star Pete Davidson, though, things went ugly.
Despite the fact that Kanye has moved on with Uncut Gems actress Julia Fox, the rapper has been more angry when discussing their child custody arrangement.
Laura Wasser, Kim’s divorce lawyer, has subsequently debunked any claims that the kids are being ‘hidden’ from Kanye.
‘We have no knowledge of Mr. West being kept away from the children by security or anyone else.’ ‘Throughout this transition and beyond, both parties have prioritized the children retaining strong links with each of their parents,’ according to the statement.
Aside from their co-parenting troubles, there have been signals that Kanye is unhappy with Pete, the 28-year-old star of Saturday Night Live.
Kim was reportedly forced to change her vacation plans from the Dominican Republic to the Bahamas last month since the rapper had intended to accompany them there.
On New Year’s Eve in Miami, where Pete was doing his special NYE concert with singer Miley Cyrus, Kanye had just met actress Julia, 32.
Weeks later, the rapper dissed Kim’s partner Pete on a single, threatening to ‘beat his a**.’
