Rapper Kanye West and Internet personality Kim Kardashian's divorce was finalized in 2022. According to Cosmopolitan, the duo share the "joint custody" of their four children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. In his latest tweets, Ye has hinted at the current status of his relationship with his children. The singer has previously accused Kim of limiting his interactions with his children.

In a stream of tweets, Ye revealed he hasn't seen "Saint this year." In another tweet, the Stronger rapper described himself as a "good dad" and said that he wants to do much more than just "see" his kids.

Typical of other tweets, the post garnered mixed responses from fans and followers, with some expressing empathy for the rapper. One user (@YEEZYVISION) supported the rapper and noted,

"YOU ARE A GREAT DAD."

Another netizen (@0xEthanDG) wrote,

"Taking away a man’s kids is taking away his life’s work."

Many users shared support for the rapper and noted the importance of having a father figure around. One user (@bitemeta) wrote,

"I’m sure this is how many black fathers feel when the system allows their spouse to take full custody of their children. They just want to be a Dad and not be pushed away into being dead beat Dad. I hope all the Dads get their kids back."

One user (@Charliemark) noted that Kanye West's unfiltered commentary may influence the relationship with his children. They noted,

"I think you’re coming to realize, you may have free speech but when other people are involved, you don’t. Free speech is costing you your kids. You can say and do whatever you want, within reasonable law, but you won’t get your kids back that way. This is all fodder for divorce court."

Other users were concerned about Kanye West meeting his children, following his ramblings and controversial remarks on X. One user (@swiffer1_) wrote,

"After your X rampage you probably won't be seeing them anytime soon."

Another (@jeetburner) added,

"N**ga you’re the last person they should see."

Kanye West's recent posts on X highlight his relationship with his children. The rapper claimed that he is not involved much in raising his children. Kim Kardashian had reportedly sought emergency custody in March after she became aware that during North's meetup with Ye, controversial figures Andrew and Tristan Tate were present, per Page Six.

Kim has previously spoken about the challenges of co-parenting. In a 2022 interview with Angie Martinez, Kim said, "Coparenting is f**king hard." In a follow-up to his tweets, the rapper posted a picture of his daughter, North, and expressed disapproval for his "11-year-old wearing makeup."

Kanye West continued to detail his concerns about his children and revealed he wants to exercise his "rights." In another tweet, he wrote,

"I HAVE TO SUPPRESS THE FACT THAT MY KIDS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME. AND EVERYONE JUST WATCHES."

While the current co-parenting responsibilities between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian haven't been publicly revealed, they have expressed difficulties since their divorce. Some fans responded to Kanye West's tweets with empathy and recognized his difficulties as a father. However, many noted that his tweets and unfiltered commentary may have links to his deteriorating relationship with his children.
