Kanye West has made several public statements about his kids, reflecting complex and sometimes troubling emotions. He has expressed frustration and anger about not having custody of his four children with Kim Kardashian and about limited say in how they are raised, including decisions on their schooling and social lives. He stated in a now-deleted tweet, "I DON'T WANT TO JUST 'SEE' MY KIDS. I NEED TO RAISE THEM," emphasizing his wish to have full parental control and accusing the Kardashian family and others of restricting his parenting rights. Kanye also revealed regret about having children with Kim Kardashian, stating he did not want kids with her after only two months of their relationship, attributing it to fate rather than choice, and criticized the lack of joint control over their children's likenesses and brands.
Kim Kardashian, on the other hand, has said that Kanye hasn't been in regular contact with the children for a few months due to his busy lifestyle and mental health struggles but insisted she never prevents Kanye from spending time with the kids when he asks. She stresses that she raises the kids full- time and encourages a healthy relationship with their father while protecting the children's well-being.
Kanye has also made controversial comments about other celebrities’ children that garnered public attention, showing his sometimes erratic behavior. Overall, his statements reveal a conflicted and strained co-parenting relationship characterized by legal battles, emotional distress, and public disputes over parental roles and rights.
In sum, Kanye publicly laments being sidelined in parenting decisions and struggles with the reality of his children living primarily with Kim Kardashian, while Kim maintains that she supports a positive father-child relationship despite challenges.
