The couple has had a tense relationship ever since the musician decided to participate in the 2020 presidential election. Their relationship plunged to a new low after Kardashian filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences, since then both sides have traded accusations against each other.

It appears Kanye's West divorce from Kim Kardashian has become a little messier. The rapper, who is now known as Ye since he changed his name, has accused his former beloved of playing with Black men's lives. In a series of posts on social media, which he has since deleted, the Grammy-winning artist attacked Kardashian over allegedly hampering him from spending time with their children.

"I beg to go to my daughter's party and I'm accused of being on drugs, then I play with my son and I take my Akira graphic novels and I'm accused of stealing, now I'm being accused of putting a hit on her. These ideas can actually get someone locked up. They play like that with Black men's lives whether it's getting them free or getting them locked up. I'm not playing about my Black children anymore", West wrote.

The couple has four kids – daughters North, 8, and Chicago, 4, and sons Saint, 6, and Psalm, 2. The ongoing feud between the musician and the reality TV star started after Kanye accused Kardashian of refusing to grant access to their children. The artist also attacked his estranged partner over ignoring his parenting directives.

In January, he voiced opposition to his daughter North wearing lipstick and appearing in videos on TikTok.

"There are two things I said: tell her, security not gonna be in between me and my kids, and also tell her don't have my daughter wearing lipstick on TikTok, or don't have her on TikTok at all, if I don't approve that. And I said it after it was done without me knowing. And then it happened again. So I feel like it's poking the bear or trying to antagonise me or create this crazy narrative", the 44-year-old said on Hollywood Unlocked.


For her part, Kim Kardashian has accused West of trying to "control and manipulate" their ongoing divorce. The star of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians", said her estranged husband's constant attacks in the media are hurtful.

"As the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision - because it brings her happiness", Kardashian wrote.

Relations between the two soured in the summer of 2020 when West decided to throw his hat into the US presidential race. During a rally in South Carolina West had what medical experts described as a mental breakdown - he started crying when he spoke about how his father wanted to abort him and that he and Kim had considered aborting their first child.
Later, the singer went on a now-deleted Twitter rant, in which he said he wanted to divorce Kim Kardashian, called his mother-in-law a tyrant, and vowed to go to war with her. In addition, he claimed that the Kardashian family had tried to force him into psychiatric treatment.
Although he later issued a public apology to Kim and her mother, this apparently did little to save their marriage. After that point, reports say the couple spent little time together, while rumours suggested that Kanye even refused to see Kim.
Both the musician and the reality TV star have started dating other people since Kim filed for a divorce last February.
