On Tuesday evening in Los Angeles, Kanye West was seen with his daughter North outside a warehouse. At the same time, he was posting provocative tweets about his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
The 47-year-old rapper, who hails from Chicago, directed his tweets at his 44-year-old ex-wife, expressing his discomfort over a white woman having a significant role in raising their Black children.
His tweets were triggered by his disapproval of a proposed music collaboration between his 11-year-old daughter North and rapper Playboi Carti, who is 28 years old.
West is father to four children with Kardashian, 44: daughters North, 11, and Chicago, seven; and sons Saint, nine, and Psalm, five.
The Bound 2 performer was seen sleeping in a vehicle with North in the City of Angels while in the passenger seat. North was subsequently seen being accompanied to another vehicle by a nanny, according to the photographer.
Dailymail.com has reached out to reps for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West for further comment on this story.

West continued: ‘So a white women has control over the name and likeness of my Black children and then speaks to carti about putting my daughter on a song with him.’
The Bound 2 performer added that ‘these [dumb a**] celebrities be trying to play with me in my face.’
‘So Kim got the name and likeness over my black children,’ the Stronger artist, 47, said on X/Twitter Tuesday morning.
The Runaway artist explained in an earlier tweet Tuesday evening that he wasn’t comfortable letting North work with Playboi Carti, when he is not directly involved with the project.
‘I decided North wont be doing any songs with Carti,’ West said. ‘How it look for me to get left off the album and then he ask Kim to have vocals from my daughter.’
The Paranoid vocalist added, ‘I dont a f*** about none of this industry s*** and how its a skims line in the first place and I dont give a f*** what no comments.’
West cited his beliefs in terms of how gender relates to co-parenting, saying that ‘the man has the first and final say over his kids.’
The Gold Digger artist previously said Sunday that ‘the man makes the final decision.’

‘Hey North your dad gave me my biggest song and co sign and I left him off of my album because of his tweets … oh but north you my niece I gotta use your vocals.’
The Through the Wire vocalist said Playboy Carti was out of line in going behind his back to seal the collab with North: ‘I held my tongue about [not] being on carti album. Him going to my ex to ask my daughter to be on a song 2 days later was too far … nobody finna play with me.’
West was back at it Wednesday afternoon, tweeting on and on about his co-parenting dispute.
He also made jarring allegations against Kim in referenced to alleged sex trafficking, which TMZ pointed out had fans noting that he has ties to Andrew and Tristan Tate, who have been under a sex trafficking probe themselves, according to CNN.
A recent visit for Kanye with North was scuttled by Kim due to the presence of the brothers, sources told TMZ. The incident subsequently came up in a mediation session between West and Kardashian over North’s budding music career.
West wanted North on a track titled LONELY ROADS STILL GO TO SUNSHINE, which also featured accused sex trafficker Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs (who denies the allegations.)
West said that he hadn’t seen son Saint in six weeks, to which a follower asked him, ‘Have you considered calling Kris and asking for a visit instead of airing this laundry online?’
West replied, ‘So do you think I should have to ask Kris Jenner to see my Black kids?’
‘Its time now they really have to kill me,’ he said. ‘As a father I will no longer distract myself from my responsibility to truly and actually protect my actual children.’
West said he was going to pursue action though the legal system, adding, ‘Its time go and get full custody which will me.

He added, ‘I’m not the crazy one here. I’m they father. I’m controlling what they watch what they wear and where to go to school.’
West also referenced his political leanings, saying he has been persecuted for his continuous support of President Donald Trump.
‘How many times you heard people say Kanye is wrong for supporting Trump,’ he asked. ‘Answer is a lot. How many times have you heard people say Kim’s wrong for how she playing with that mans kids. Never.’
West also said he was ‘tired of the media always talking s***’ and propagating double standards.
‘White women not letting me see my kids or even have say so of where they go to school and controlling my kids name and likeness,’ he said. ‘Celebrities only speaking up to diss me for wearing a red hat.’
West made clear he was displeased about Kim having control of how his kids are marketed

Other relatives on hand to support the eldest child of West and Kardashian last year included her grandmother Kris Jenner and aunt Kourtney Kardashian, who attended with her husband Travis Barker, also an accomplished entertainer.
West on Tuesday declared himself as a voice for the voiceless amid the sensitivities of contemporary cancel culture.
‘A lot of people have things they want to say but are scared of being cancelled,’ the Dark Fantasy singer explained. ‘In weird way. I speak for them. Even when I say things that should be offensive to them. I speak for everyone just by speaking.’
The controversial race-related remarks comes after insiders told Dailymail.com last month that Kim has had searing tension with Scott Disick, 41, as a result of her ex-husband’s race rants.
Disick is upset at Kim for not publicly condemning her ex-husband’s remarks about Jewish people via her massive social media platforms, sources told Dailymail.com.
Disick, who shares three children with Kim’s older sister Kourtney, 45, ‘was raised Jewish and the fact that Kim has not denounced Kanye West’s hateful anti-Semitic remarks absolutely infuriates him,’ a source told Dailymail.com.
Disick ‘has had it with Kanye and takes personal offense to his attack on the Jewish community,’ the source continued.
West has remained in the crosshairs of controversy for much of the year amid a torrent of tweets propagating antisemitism.
On February 11, the shop on West’s Yeezy Website – which he advertised with an expensive ad in Sunday’s Super Bowl – was taken offline by Shopify after he was selling a white shirt with a black swastika in the center.

West spoke more about the controversy in a series of tweets February 20 – promising to wear the swastika shirt onstage at the Super Bowl.
‘Next year I’m performing at the superbowl wearing my wittle T shirt,’ he said. ‘People with money bought my wittle t shirt.’
He added that Shopify ‘gave [him his] account back’ after taking down his store after controversy erupted over the shirts, but that he was ‘not going to use it.’
The Anti-Defamation League said in a post on X/Twitter February 10: ‘As if we needed further proof of Kanye’s antisemitism, he chose to put a single item for sale on his website – a t-shirt emblazoned with a swastika.
‘If that wasn’t enough, the t-shirt is labeled on Kanye’s website as “HH-01,”which is code for “Heil Hitler.” Kanye was tweeting vile antisemitism nonstop since last week. There’s no excuse for this kind of behavior.’
The organization added, ‘Even worse, Kanye advertised his website during the Super Bowl, amplifying it beyond his already massive social media audience.’
Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor, the founder and executive director of CyberWell, an online anti-Semitism watchdog group, told Dailymail.com February 11 that the organization made efforts to go over West’s head and have the page removed.
‘CyberWell reached out Shopify’s compliance and safety teams to alert them to flagrant abuse of Shopfiy’s services by yeezy.com in violation of the terms of use,’ Cohen Montemayor said.

Montemayor said that ‘Shopify’s team acted swiftly and decidedly by removing yeezy.com’s “shop” for peddling antisemitic filth.’
Cohen Montemayor praised Shopify for the decision, saying, ‘This is the type of leadership and accountability is what should be expected from ALL social media platform and digital service CEOs.
Said Cohen Montemayor: ”When someone flagrantly abuses your platform or services to spew hate with impunity they should be stopped.
Cohen Montemayor noted that ‘GoDaddy provides the domain services for yeezy.com – the Swastika T-Shirt shop is in direct violation of its terms of service and it would do well to follow suit and release the rights to the domain.’
Podcaster Van Lathan, who famously clashed with West in a heated discussion in the TMZ newsroom in May of 2018, was critical of the rapper’s latest series of tweets in a post on the platform February 20, calling him ‘the slow kid in the Black community’s class.’
‘I’m glad you’re rich,’ Lathan wrote. ‘It seems to be the only thing you care about. Money is dope you can do a lot of stuff with it. Sincerely. We need it, as a community.
‘One thing that’s more valuable than money is people. I’m sure you’d agree no dollar amount can measure North’s laugh, I’m sure you’d go broke to bring your mother back. I would for my dad, who I lost in ‘21.’
The Anti-Defamation League stated their response to the shirt in a post on X/Twitter last month
Lathan told West he was ‘trapped in an infant’s bubble, where [he] can be reckless and careless and people excuse it because of affection.
‘We realize this, and try to ignore you, until the baby picks up something sharp like Nazism, domestic abuse, etc. then we gotta child proof things until you stop crying.’
Lathan, who cohosts the podcast Higher Learning with Rachel Lindsay, continued, ‘You’re right about one thing, I am a slave to capitalism. We all are. Gotta work.
‘But No one is more of a slave than the man who puts money over dignity. No one. So I’ll be a slave, and you be what you are, which is the slow kid in the Black community’s class. Keep eating boogers Kanye.’
