Kanye West admits he didn't want to have kids with Kim Kardashian: Details explored
In addition to his clothing and provocative statements concerning other rappers, Kanye West's comment on his ex-wife Kim Kardashian was one of the highlights of his interview with DJ Akademiks. During the interview, DJ Akademiks told Kanye that although he talks negatively about his situation concerning Kim and their children, it is he who picked her and put himself in the condition.
Accepting the same, Ye mentioned:
"Absolutely I did, that was my fault. I didn’t want to have children with this person after the first two months of being with her, but that wasn’t God’s plan...when my daughter was put on the song that's when I realised that I didn't own their name and likeness."
Kanye West added:
"So watch this; all the brands that I made, I don't get the name and likeness ownership or at least 50/50 with my kids. So how's it joint custody? My kids are celebrities... so this white woman and this white family have the control of these highly influential black kids that are half the children of Ye"
When Kanye West mentioned a song that his daughter North West was featured in, he was referring to his latest release Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine featuring his eldest daughter and imprisoned rapper Diddy's voice. In a screenshot of a reported textual exchange between Ye and Kim Kardashian, the latter tells the rapper that she has trademarked North West's name to block the song's release.
During his interview with DJ Akademiks, Kaye West admitted to being jealous of Kendrick Lamar and claimed that Playboi Carti was an "agent," which was a reference from the 1999 movie The Matrix.
