Kanye West’s recent social media pronouncements about not seeing his son Saint this year have raised eyebrows, especially given photographic evidence to the contrary. The rapper’s claims, made on X (formerly Twitter), were part of a series of posts alleging difficulties in seeing his four children with ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
West questioned why he was being prevented from seeing his kids, stating he needed to “raise them” and calling himself a “great father.” He also mentioned consulting with lawyers to ensure his parental rights.
However, sources suggest a different story. Insiders claim West has ample access to his children and can see them whenever he wishes.
Reports indicate the rapper has been in California for a significant portion of the year but hasn’t actively sought visits with his younger children until recently. While he reportedly saw his daughter North a few times, he allegedly didn’t request to see Saint, Chicago, or Psalm until shortly before leaving the state.
Although the former couple currently shares joint custody, Kardashian has reportedly considered seeking sole custody due to West’s unpredictable behavior. Sources close to Kardashian depict her as essentially a single parent, alleging West’s limited presence in his children’s lives. This ongoing situation continues to fuel speculation about the future custody arrangements of the West children.
