It’s been another week of chaos for the troubled star, resulting in Kim, 44, calling for an emergency custody hearing after learning misogynist brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate would be present during Kanye’s visit with their eldest daughter, 11-year-old North West.
She has also been upset Kanye released a single featuring North alongside jailed Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is awaiting trial on sex crime charges, and she is poised to apply for sole custody of their four children.
“North loves him,” said the source who knows Kanye well, “I can’t speak for the other kids, but North is definitely Ye’s girl. But it must be scary for Kim.” Kim and Kanye — who were married from 2014 to 2022 — also have son Saint, 9, daughter Chicago, 7, and son Psalm, 5.
Their split came amid one of Kanye’s earlier mental health crises. Since then they agreed to share custody, but Kim says she’s pretty much a single mom, telling iHeartRadio in September, “No matter what kind of help I have, [I’m] basically raising four kids by myself.”
A source who has worked within Kanye’s world for the past two years added, “Ye would refer to himself as ‘God’, that was tough – I thought he was a God-fearing, Christian family man. But it’s hard for me to take his complaining serious now because his values don’t align with his actions.”
