There was a recent online rumor stating that Kanye West issued a cease and desist letter to Kim Kardashian. The letter supposedly accused Kim of not taking care of their kids — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm — and violating the custody agreement. It stated that North went to the Met Gala and was on social media without Kanye’s consent.

Kanye West did not send a legal letter to Kim Kardashian. Several credible sources, including TMZ on May 9, 2025, have confirmed that the letter is a forgery. Both Kanye and Kim’s teams have confirmed that there is no such letter and that no lawsuit has been filed.

In spite of the viral reports, this is not an actual legal case. The news made headlines because it resonates with previous public arguments between Kanye and Kim regarding parenting. However, there is no new court filing or lawsuit between them.

Yes, both Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s representatives spoke out. Kanye’s team said clearly that he had nothing to do with the letter. They called it a hoax and said it was made up. They also confirmed that there was no real legal action against Kim.

Kim Kardashian’s legal team said the same. Her attorney never received any legal notice from Kanye. They said the letter was fake and that Kim would not respond to false claims. Both teams made it clear that the story was fabricated and had no legal standing. Their responses helped stop the spread of the rumor. Once both parties denied the letter, more media sources started to correct their original reports.

There is no modification in their custody arrangement. The bogus cease and desist letter has no legal effect. Kanye and Kim’s legal arrangement regarding their children remains unchanged from what was agreed upon in their divorce, as per an article published on May 9, 2025, in E! News.

Both parents continue to co-parent. There have been disputes earlier regarding how to raise the children, particularly concerning their exposure in the public sphere. But no fresh court proceedings have occurred. They still co-parent as per the current legal terms. The hoax did not bring any legal modification or new case between them.
