Kanye West reinforced his stance on patriarchal structures after vowing to go to “war” with ex-wife Kim Kardashian over a song featuring their eldest daughter, North West.
After dropping “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine” without the “Kardashian” star’s approval, the rapper wrote via X early Monday, “THE MAN MAKES THE FINAL DECISION.”
Kanye also seemingly referenced his heated texts with Kardashian, adding in a separate post, “ALL KINGS LOVE WAR.”
One day prior, the Grammy winner, 47, shared a screenshot from a conversation with the reality star, 44, who was apparently unhappy about his decision to feature their 11-year-old daughter on a track with Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is in jail.
Kardashian tried to block the song’s release before Kanye — who now goes by Ye — shared it on X.
In the exchange, the “Donda” rapper asked the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum to “amend” her trademark for their daughter’s name so he could drop the tune without legal repercussions.
“I asked you at the time if I can trademark her name. You said yes,” Kardashian purportedly replied. “When she’s 18, it goes to her. So stop.”
She continued, “I sent paperwork over so she wouldn’t be in the Diddy song to protect her. One person has to trademark!”
The Skims co-founder claimed they had “agreed” to trademark all their kids’ names “when they were born” so that “no one else would take them.”
However, Kanye was not satisfied with her reasoning.
“Amend it or I’m going to war,” he responded. “And neither of us will recover from the public fallout.”
“You’re going to have to kill me,” he sensationally added.
TMZ later reported that Kardashian sent the “Heartless” singer a cease-and-desist letter after learning he had planned to release the song at his Sunday Service.
Although he allegedly skipped an emergency hearing with a mediator and a judge, he had promised not to drop the song, according to the outlet.
A source told Page Six that Kardashian does not want North involved in Kanye’s “controversial decisions” — especially revolving around Combs, who is behind bars on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
The insider said the Hulu personality’s “priority is the well-being and safety of her children.”
However, amid the trademark drama, Ye also accused his ex-wife of keeping their four kids — North, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5 — away from him.
“Yes I have beef with people that froze my account took my kids away and tried to put me in jail AND ITS STUCK,” he wrote in a since-deleted X post.
Kanye said he does not “want to just ‘see’ his kids” but wants to actually “raise them” and make decisions about their schooling and day-to-day choices.
“ALL THESE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME BY THE KARDASHIAN MOB HULU AND DISNEY AND THE BIGGER AGENDA TO USE THE SELECTIVELY BRED BLACK CHILDREN TO BE PLATFORMS TO INFLUENCE BLACK PEOPLE,” he wrote.
Kanye likened his current custody agreement to having “visitation” in “jail,” ending the tirade with yet another antisemitic remark.
He and Kardashian were married from 2014 to 2022.
