Kanye West took aim at his ex-wife Kim Kardashian in a series of tweets Tuesday in which he said that he was put off by a white woman being in control of his Black children. The Chicago native’s comments directed at his ex-wife came in reaction to a planned musical collaboration between his daughter North, 11, and rapper Playboi Carti, 28, which he opposes. ‘So Kim got the name and likeness over my black children,’ the Stronger artist, 47, said on X/Twitter Tuesday morning. The 24-time Grammy winner continued: ‘So a white women 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 Bound 2 performer added that ‘these [dumb a**] celebrities be trying to play with me in my face.’ West is father to four children with Kardashian, 44: daughters North, 11, and Chicago, seven; and sons Saint, nine, and Psalm, five. Dailymail.com has reached out to reps for Kim Kardashian for further comment on this story.

The Runaway artist explained in an earlier tweet Tuesday evening that he wasn’t comfortable letting North work with Playboi Carti, when he is not directly involved with the project. ‘I decided North wont be doing any songs with Carti,’ West said. ‘How it look for me to get left off the album and then he ask Kim to have vocals from my daughter.’ The Paranoid vocalist added, ‘I dont a f*** about none of this industry s*** and how its a skims line in the first place and I dont give a f*** what no comments.’ West cited his beliefs in terms of how gender relates to co-parenting, saying that ‘the man has the first and final say over his kids.’ The Gold Digger artist previously said Sunday that ‘the man makes the final decision.’ West was critical of Playboy Carti for not collaborating with him amid recent controversies, citing how he included him on his 2024 hit single CARNIVAL. ‘Hey North your dad gave me my biggest song and co sign and I left him off of my album because of his tweets … oh but north you my niece I gotta use your vocals.’ The Through the Wire vocalist said Playboy Carti was out of line in going behind his back to seal the collab with North: ‘I held my tongue about [not] being on carti album. Him going to my ex to ask my daughter to be on a song 2 days later was too far … nobody finna play with me.’

West was seen embracing North on Hulu’s The Kardashians last month after she took part in The Lion King’s 30th anniversary concert at Hollywood Bowl last May. Other relatives on hand to support the eldest child of West and Kardashian last year included her grandmother Kris Jenner and aunt Kourtney Kardashian, who attended with her husband Travis Barker, also an accomplished entertainer. West on Tuesday declared himself as a voice for the voiceless amid the sensitivities of contemporary cancel culture.’A lot of people have things they want to say but are scared of being cancelled,’ the Dark Fantasy singer explained. ‘In weird way. I speak for them. Even when I say things that should be offensive to them. I speak for everyone just by speaking.’ The controversial race-related remarks comes after insiders told Dailymail.com last month that Kim has had searing tension with Scott Disick, 41, as a result of her ex-husband’s race rants. Disick is upset at Kim for not publicly condemning her ex-husband’s remarks about Jewish people via her massive social media platforms.
Disick, who shares three children with Kim’s older sister Kourtney, 45, ‘was raised Jewish and the fact that Kim has not denounced Kanye West’s hateful anti-Semitic remarks absolutely infuriates him,’ a source told Dailymail.com. Disick ‘has had it with Kanye and takes personal offense to his attack on the Jewish community,’ the source continued. West has remained in the crosshairs of controversy for much of the year amid a torrent of tweets propagating antisemitism. On February 11, the shop on West’s Yeezy Website – which he advertised with an expensive ad in Sunday’s Super Bowl – was taken offline by Shopify after he was selling a white shirt with a black swastika in the center.

West spoke more about the controversy in a series of tweets February 20 – promising to wear the swastika shirt onstage at the Super Bowl. ‘Next year I’m performing at the superbowl wearing my wittle T shirt,’ he said. ‘People with money bought my wittle t shirt.’
He added that Shopify ‘gave [him his] account back’ after taking down his store after controversy erupted over the shirts, but that he was ‘not going to use it.’ The Anti-Defamation League said in a post on X/Twitter February 10: ‘As if we needed further proof of Kanye’s antisemitism, he chose to put a single item for sale on his website – a t-shirt emblazoned with a swastika. ‘If that wasn’t enough, the t-shirt is labeled on Kanye’s website as “HH-01,”which is code for “Heil Hitler.” Kanye was tweeting vile antisemitism nonstop since last week. There’s no excuse for this kind of behavior.’ The organization added, ‘Even worse, Kanye advertised his website during the Super Bowl, amplifying it beyond his already massive social media audience.’
Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor, the founder and executive director of CyberWell, an online anti-Semitism watchdog group, told Dailymail.com February 11 that the organization made efforts to go over West’s head and have the page removed. ‘CyberWell reached out Shopify’s compliance and safety teams to alert them to flagrant abuse of Shopfiy’s services by yeezy.com in violation of the terms of use,’ Cohen Montemayor said.

The Anti-Defamation League stated their response to the shirt in a post on X/Twitter last month Montemayor said that ‘Shopify’s team acted swiftly and decidedly by removing yeezy.com’s “shop” for peddling antisemitic filth.’ Cohen Montemayor praised Shopify for the decision, saying, ‘This is the type of leadership and accountability is what should be expected from ALL social media platform and digital service CEOs. Said Cohen Montemayor: ”When someone flagrantly abuses your platform or services to spew hate with impunity they should be stopped.
Cohen Montemayor noted that ‘GoDaddy provides the domain services for yeezy.com – the Swastika T-Shirt shop is in direct violation of its terms of service and it would do well to follow suit and release the rights to the domain.’ Podcaster Van Lathan, who famously clashed with West in a heated discussion in the TMZ newsroom in May of 2018, was critical of the rapper’s latest series of tweets in a post on the platform February 20, calling him ‘the slow kid in the Black community’s class.’
‘I’m glad you’re rich,’ Lathan wrote. ‘It seems to be the only thing you care about. Money is dope you can do a lot of stuff with it. Sincerely. We need it, as a community.
‘One thing that’s more valuable than money is people. I’m sure you’d agree no dollar amount can measure North’s laugh, I’m sure you’d go broke to bring your mother back. I would for my dad, who I lost in ‘21.’
Podcaster Van Lathan, who famously clashed with West in a heated discussion in the TMZ newsroom in May of 2018, was critical of the rapper’s tweets February 20 Lathan told West he was ‘trapped in an infant’s bubble, where [he] can be reckless and careless and people excuse it because of affection. ‘We realize this, and try to ignore you, until the 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 picks up something sharp like Nazism, domestic abuse, etc. then we gotta child proof things until you stop crying.’ Lathan, who cohosts the podcast Higher Learning with Rachel Lindsay, continued, ‘You’re right about one thing, I am a slave to capitalism. We all are. Gotta work.
‘But No one is more of a slave than the man who puts money over dignity. No one. So I’ll be a slave, and you be what you are, which is the slow kid in the Black community’s class. Keep eating boogers Kanye.’
