Kanye West has spent the last few months making increasingly troubling remarks. He is showing no signs of slowing down, and the list of people he despises continues to grow and change. Kim Kardashian, the mother of his four children, is his enemy of choice in recent days. Kanye West, who now goes by ‘Ye,’ claims he never wanted to have kids with Kim Kardashian and knew he was uninterested in having kids with her two months into their courtship. While his recent statements are deeply troubling, it’s not the first time he’s expressed negativity about his kids.

Kanye West said he didn’t want kids with Kim Kardashian

Kanye West recently agreed to an interview with DJ Akademiks. The interview seems to confirm that Kanye West will say and do almost anything he wants. During their winding and difficult-to-follow chat, Ye revealed that he never wanted to have children with Kim Kardashian. He alleges he knew he had no interest in fathering her children after just two months together. He went on to claim that “god” had other plans, though.

Kardashian and West share four children, including two children born via surrogate. The couple’s children were born over six years. Psalm West, the former couple’s youngest child, was born in 2019. It is unclear how much time he spends with his youngest three children. His decision-making regarding North West, their outspoken eldest child, has been questioned in recent weeks, though.

Kanye West talked about abortion in 2020

While Kanye West’s most recent statements about his kids have angered the general public, it isn’t the first time he’s disparaged Kim Kardashian or his journey to fatherhood. The disgraced music mogul came under fire in 2020 for comments he made during his presidential bid.

During a speech, West said he and Kardashian had seriously considered abortion when they learned they were expecting. West’s speech is primarily considered the final blow to his marriage. He gave the speech in July 2020. Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021. For the next several months, West attempted to make amends, insisting he wanted to get his family back together. He has long since abandoned that mission. Most recently, he has waffled between lashing out against Kim and the entire Kardashian family and ignoring their existence.

Kim Kardashian has the public’s sympathy

While Kim Kardashian has plenty of critics, even her most ardent haters are grimacing at Kanye West’s recent comments. In fact, many critics and fans have come together on social media to offer sympathy for Kardashian, who has found herself in an unimaginably difficult position. Kardashian is trying to navigate a co-parenting relationship with West while keeping her children safe and managing her emotions and embarrassment over her ex-husband’s antics. It doesn’t seem like an easy feat.

Plenty of people have weighed in on the situation in the last several months. Insiders have spoken out, and now even celebrities are offering advice. Bethenny Frankel, whose very public and very bitter divorce from Jason Hoppy made headlines for years, weighed in. She suggested Kardashian only speak to West through lawyers because he’s completely illogical. It’s unclear if Kardashian saw Frankel’s Instagram post, but sources claim lawyers are involved. Kardashian has largely stayed quiet about West’s behavior.
