Kanye West breaks down online amid custody battle with Kim Kardashian: ‘I’m shaking typing this’

Kanye West has once again drawn public attention to his ongoing custody dispute with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, sharing a stream of emotional posts on social media expressing his feelings. The rapper, now legally known as Ye, took to X (formerly Twitter) to vent about his strained relationship with his children and what he described as a lack of support from those around him.

In one of the more intense rants, he wrote, “Why are you all watching and letting Kim take my kids from me in real time... I’m shaking typing this.” He went on to add, “Y’all wanna say I’m acting out because of things in my childhood… But I don’t get to be a dad.”

Ye appeared to connect his personal struggles to past political affiliations, stating: “I’ve had my rights stripped because I wore a f**ing red hat. That’s when I had a breakdown and was put in the hospital.” The comment referenced the backlash he faced for publicly supporting Donald Trump in the past.

The 47-year-old artist also claimed that he has not seen his son Saint this year, posting, “I haven’t seen Saint This Year.” This statement has raised questions, as images published by Page Six earlier this year showed Ye with his children shopping at a 7-Eleven in Tokyo’s Ginza district in January.

Ye and Kardashian share four children – North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. He wrote in another post, “I don’t need to just ‘SEE’ my kids. I need to raise them. I’m a good dad. I’m a great father to have.”

The recent outburst follows a series of similar social media posts over the past year, in which Ye has repeatedly voiced concerns about being sidelined in his children’s lives. He also indicated that he is continuing to search for the right legal support to challenge the current custody arrangement.

Kardashian has not responded publicly to the latest posts. The ongoing custody matter between the two remains under public scrutiny as West continues to share his perspective online.
