Kanye West fuels a new controversy by directly targeting Beyoncé and Jay-Z, key figures in American music. But this time, the rapper crosses a red line: he attacks the couple’s children, Rumi and Sir Carter, aged 7.
In a controversial statement, he suggests that the twins are "delayed," linked to their birth by in vitro fertilization. This statement, deemed cruel, causes an uproar. Accused of ableism, Kanye West is sharply criticized by civil rights advocates. They emphasize the importance of medical advances for thousands of families, condemning the insult as unworthy and hurtful.
An old conflict between Kanye West and the Carters reignited with intensity
The rift between Kanye West and the Carter-Knowles couple is not new. Their relations became strained after Kanye’s marriage to Kim Kardashian in 2014, an event where Beyoncé and Jay-Z were notably absent. This absence was perceived as a betrayal.
Since then, Kanye harbors a deep resentment. He now digs up older grievances, accusing Jay-Z of having "sacrificed his family for his public image." This statement highlights an emotional resentment, rooted in personal tensions.
Although they have made history in hip-hop with iconic collaborations, this artistic bond now seems broken. Kanye even goes so far as to intrude into the private life of his former friend and mentor, rekindling a now-public rivalry.
Kim Kardashian acts to protect her children from Kanye West’s toxic circle
Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian tries to shield her children from an environment she deems dangerous. On March 14 in Los Angeles, she requests a revision of the custody agreement established during her divorce from Kanye in 2022.
She particularly fears the influence of certain acquaintances of her ex-husband. Controversial figures like Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate, targeted by accusations of sexual violence, are said to be around Kanye. Kim refuses to let her daughter North associate with such a circle.
This disagreement intensifies tensions over co-parenting. Sources close to the situation mention a tense and unstable atmosphere. For Kim Kardashian, the emotional and physical safety of her children remains a non-negotiable priority.
A declining music career and a public image in crisis
Kanye West’s popularity is waning. His once-iconic image suffers from his multiple missteps. The music industry, which long celebrated him as an innovator, is now distancing itself.
His latest albums, like Vultures or Donda 2, struggle to convince. The reviews are mixed, with fans nostalgic for the time when Kanye pushed the boundaries of rap, music production, and sound design.
Today, he seems isolated, even abandoned by his former allies. Jay-Z remains silent, while Beyoncé adopts an equally discreet stance. Rumors of a defamation lawsuit circulate, although the Carter-Knowles family carefully controls their communication.
Kanye West divides America between support and condemnation
Public opinion remains divided over Kanye West. Some defend his freedom of expression, citing his mental health issues to excuse his extreme statements. They see him as a misunderstood artist, rebelling against conventions.
Others denounce irresponsible and dangerous behavior. Attacks targeting children are deemed unacceptable. Social media, amplifying each provocation, exacerbates the tense climate.
Kanye West is today the embodiment of toxic celebrity, both adored and feared. His artistic genius is overshadowed by his excesses. The rapper seems trapped in a spiral of provocations, cut off from the art that once made him great.
An uncertain future for Kanye West and his close ones
The consequences of his statements extend far beyond his career. The children, whether his own or those of his former friends, become the invisible victims. Indeed, these media quarrels affect them.
Kim Kardashian, in her attempt to limit Kanye’s influence, initiates a new legal chapter. Her goal: to create a healthy environment for her children. Implicitly, it’s also a call to restore a parental dialogue, now broken.
The question remains: how far should the excesses of a once-visionary artist be tolerated? Should he be given free rein, or should limits be set when he endangers others? In a world obsessed with scandals, Kanye West embodies all the paradoxes. Indeed, our era sees the artist and the public figure merge.
