As we discussed, Kanye West has been crashing out in spectacular fashion in recent weeks, and it’s picked up significantly over the past week. He’s got a new album – ?? – and some people think this is all some kind of f–ked up promotional work. I don’t. I think he’s in the middle of another manic episode AND he’s desperate for attention in general. In the past week, Kanye has: released a song featuring Sean Combs and North West (Kanye’s oldest child); used ableist slurs about Jay-Z and Beyonce’s children; worn swastika gear; accused the Kardashians of human trafficking; and said some truly crazy sh-t about other rappers and music industry people. Don’t forget this either: apparently, Kanye is also hanging out with Andrew and Tristan Tate, two rapists and human traffickers who were just allowed back into America by the Trump administration. Kim Kardashian has already shut down Kanye’s visitation with North because the Tate brothers were around Kanye.
Kanye West’s wild claim Kim Kardashian is pimping out their kids strikes people close to her as laughable — especially considering he’s been hanging with the controversial Tate brothers … TMZ has learned.
Kim and Ye’s co-parenting relationship hit a new low Wednesday as he fired off a string of outrageous posts on X … the most offensive to Kim being the one where he accuses her of sex trafficking, due to North’s involvement in an FKA Twigs song, and an accompanying TikTok.
However, sources familiar with the situation tell us the issue of trafficking already came up last week during an emergency hearing over North. We’re told Kim abruptly pulled the plug while North was visiting her dad, because security guards informed her Andrew and Tristan Tate were going to be arriving at the location.
As we reported, Kim, Ye and their lawyers met with a mediator last Friday to discuss North rapping on Ye’s song “LONELY ROADS STILL GO TO SUNSHINE” — which also features Diddy — but we’re told the Tate Bros. incident also came up.
Andrew and Tristan were arrested in 2022 for allegedly creating a criminal organization in Romania, and Andrew’s been charged with rape in that country. They’re also both facing sexual assault lawsuits in the U.S. and the UK. They have not been convicted of any crimes. Not shockingly, though, we’re told Kim does not want North or any of their children associating with the Tates or Diddy … who, of course, is facing sex trafficking allegations in a federal indictment.
Another issue raised in the mediation was Ye’s penchant for wearing swastika t-shirts.
It’s like Nazi Mid Libs in here, good god. I didn’t even know that Kanye had any dealings with the Tate brothers, but it’s actually not that surprising. Kanye is pretty tapped into that whole network of right-wing lunatics, white supremacist podcasters, “manosphere” misogynists, etc. Of course Kim Kardashian shut it down and I’m glad the security guards alerted her to what was going down. My only question is: what’s taking so long for Kim to get full custody of the kids? This feels like an emergency situation, especially with the entrance of the Tate brothers.

He is a vile man!
Truly digusting.
Wow, so Kanye is trynna pimp his own child to sex traffickers, how noble of him 😩. That being Kanye is so hideous.
Does he even spend any time with the others?? Seems to *only* be interested in North.
Even andrew tates walk looks stupid
I saw that photo and thought the same thing! What a loser.
It’s time to take this to court, Kim. Aside from real physical danger, there is the danger of these kids being brainwashed. I wouldn’t want my sons around these people and their ideas either.
I despise the man, but if Kanye is in a manic episode (at the very least), and behaving like this, he’s not mentally fit to parent. My limited experience of what happens, is that it’s far easier to remove custody in those circumstances. The Tates are taking gleeful advantage of him right now, and North and the other kids are not safe.
Where is Kim?? My god, she’s mentally fit and should be fighting to protect her kids.
It should be, and she shouldn’t feel bad at all about taking these steps until he gets his bipolar disorder under control. It’s not an impossibility.
Can’t be worried about his feelings when this man is letting his prepubescent child be on a song with a man currently in federal lock up for sex crimes, and trying to get her to meet someone that was recently released for the same thing. If he’s trying to goad her or be provocative it doesn’t matter. Children are not pawns in the game you’re playing for attention. There’s a real consequence to this sort of behavior.
Re: Kim: There was an article earlier this week that Kim is trying to get sole custody of her children. And she got North out of there when the security guards told her the Tate brothers were coming over.
I’ve said this before but it bears repeating now that we know about West’s relationship to the Tates. He is grooming his eldest daughter. Yeah, if there ever was a custodial emergency, this is it.
Alrighty, my heart goes out to North.
I hope she isn’t groomed and assaulted by her father or any of his associates. This kid will need a whole lot of therapy now and when she grows up.
I can only imagine Kanye pimping out his daughter’s virginity for the highest bidder…
Kim is trying not to cause any online outbursts by sticking to their custody agreement. Kanye is still crying on SM that she isn’t allowing him to see his kids, even though he is the one jetting off other side of the world for months. I don’t know what she can do honestly. If she gets full custody, you know he is gonna talk sh*t all day about her and her family on socials and play the poor father who can’t see his kids. He is not gonna listen to any judge and probably manipulate the kids to hate their own mother.
The last time Kim didn’t let North go to her father, she destroyed some furniture in order to piss her off and Kanye shared this as a hilarious story. I hope all these kids are in therapy.
It’s time Kim.
I fear of what these children will grow up to be.
Yeah I know it’s not really fair to doom these kids at such a young age but let’s face it: it’s not looking great. The perpetual circus that they live in, the vain mother, the mentally ill and narcissistic father…it’s all a really bad combo. IDK what Kim is like as a mother but surely they’re better off with no contact with their father or at the very least, supervised visits only. People who have experience with mental illness said on the post yesterday that when someone gets to the point Kanye is at, there’s not much anyone can do but just let them implode. The question is what does Kanye’s inevitable implosion look like and how harmful/dangerous will it be to himself and those around him, including his children.
Where does free speech land when it comes to custody arrangements? Also, We all know that Kanye, Diddy, and the Tates are awful, very likely dangerous ppl, but none of them have been convicted of a crime. Can any of that actually be used to remove custody?
Diddy is currently in the prison and Tates have a pending case of sexual crimes. I don’t think a family court judge would look favorably at this behavior.
I’m sure Kim is doing things behind the scenes that we know nothing about (emergency filings with the court, etc.) to keep their kids safe. I’m sure she wants to keep those things private – as they should be since they involve children (and minors).
It’s so hard managing someone who has a mental illness that requires meds to manage the mental illness, and when they quit taking the meds, this is the result. It’s very sad and very hard on families. And hard on the person with the mental illness. I’m no KW fan AT ALL, but he has a mental illness that controls him and I’m sure that’s tough. No excuses though. He needs to be supervised when with his children. Period.
Kanye has been inappropriate AF for years & Kim allowed North to be in that cesspool & have allowed her oldest Son to be exposed to disgusting mysogynistic thoughts which reflects his POS Father’s outlook that their Son had NO PROBLEM putting on social media regarding Kamala Harris…Kim has agency…she’s ALLOWED this to happen and for her children to be exposed to this BS…children I TRULY feel sorry for…😡
Totally agree with you. Kim’s been pimping north out as well, trying to establish her as some phenom for years, including a painter and makeup artist. Now she’s going for the singer/actress and rapper bit. And look how north is dressed and styled. She’s 11 going on 25. Pity that girl had no childhood.
If I were Kim I would get some kind of emergency court order in order to keep those kids away from him – ASAP!
If he were a woman, he’d have been put in a conservatorship by now.
Was coming here to say the exact same thing!
Exactly.
I’m afraid nobody is coming for those kids. Sad
Edit : I meant to respond to Lala 11 comment
All these people and I mean ALLIES here people baring North… absolutely suck and take up space on this planet ….
I’ve said this before, but if Kanye is in a manic episode and continues to increase his need for attention/shock/relevance, I’m afraid he’s going to harm himself in a permanent way believing it’s “high art.” Please someone help him, help Kim, help North, help everyone involved. (Not the Tate brothers of course…they can go eff themselves forever.)
This child will be a mess in five years. Both parents are pushing her out there more than she needs to be. She is a child and the boundaries and discipline don’t seem to be very strong. Kanye is just disgusting and Kim’s trying to be Mama Rose to her daughter. At least she had the sense to keep her from what would have been a disastrous situation. Why would he want to expose his daughter to those disgusting men? Wealth really does shield bad parenting.
