Kanye West has made a shocking admittance about his former marriage to his ex-wife, reality TV star Kim Kardashian.
The rapper shared that he regrets getting her pregnant, seemingly due to their brewing legal war over their four children.
This comes after Kanye West unleashed several scathing attacks at Kim Kardashian after she tried to block their daughter from featuring on his new song which also had rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs on it.
Kanye West Says He Regrets Getting Kim Kardashian Pregnant
West has left many shocked following his recent comments made in a bizarre interview with DJ Akademiks.
In the hour-long chat with Akademiks, which was uploaded on YouTube, West made the admission that he regrets getting Kardashian pregnant.
The estranged couple married in May 2014 and went on to welcome four children: North, Saint, Psalm, and Chicago. They finalized their divorce in November 2022, after which he went on to begin dating former Yeezy architect Bianca Censori.
"That was my fault," he said. "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."
"I don't got the name and likeness ownership, or at least 50-50 with my kids," he told Akademiks at some point, referring to the "nuclear" war between them over their children. "So, how's it joint custody?"
"My kids are celebrities, and I don't have the say so," West continued. "So this white woman and this white family have the control of these highly influential black kids that are half the children of Ye."
The Rapper Raised Eyebrows With His KKK-Themed Outfit
The "Donda" rapper's incendiary comments were made the more unsettling by how he dressed for the interview with DJ Akademiks.
At one point, he got up to change out of his already scandalous Sean John T-shirt, which is owned by Diddy, and a swastika chain into a black, KKK-inspired garb.
He revealed that he had the black leather hood and cape outfit custom made, in addition to an identical, white one.
DJ Akademiks then asked if he'd ever worn it out, to which he replied, saying he wanted to wear it "yesterday" but was worried that people would "put me in a hospital for my outfit.
The interview also saw the Yeezy founder veer wildly between topics, touching on why he dissed the late Virgil Abloh in a tweet, as well as defending his "twin" Diddy amid his ongoing legal woes.
DJ Akademiks noted that West's remark against Abloh wasn't fair since "he's not here to defend himself," but the "Vultures 1" rapper responded, "I'm evil. I'm an evil person."
Kanye West And Kim Kardashian's Brewing Legal War Over Their Kids
West and Kardashian have seemingly been involved in a public squabble over their children.
The SKIMS founder wasn't happy that he used their daughter North's vocals in his new song, which had Diddy on it, as well as the Bad Boy Records founder's son, Christian.
West also shared a screen grab of a purported conversation with the reality TV star in which he threatened to go "to war" with her over rights to their children's name.
The alleged text suggests Kardashian holds the rights to North's name and attempted to use it to prevent her voice from being used in the song with Diddy, but that didn't sit right with West, who wrote in the text that he was "never speaking with" her again.
"Amend it or I'm going to war. And neither of us will recover from the public fallout," the Yeezy founder wrote before declaring, "You're going to have to kill me."
Kardashian reportedly also ended one of North's recent visits to her father upon learning that controversial influencer Andrew Tate, who is facing human trafficking charges in Romania, was going to be present.
Kanye West Accused Kim Kardashian Of Taking 'Control' Of His Children's 'Likeness'
West's latest interview comes more than a week after he took to X to slam Kardashian in a series of tweets, saying that he was put off by a white woman being in control of his black children.
The comment, directed at Kardashian, came in response to a planned musical collaboration between North and Playboi Carti, which the rapper is totally against.
"So a white woman has control over the name and likeness of my Black children and then speaks to carti about putting my daughter on a song with him," he wrote, adding that "these [dumb a-s] celebrities be trying to play with me in my face."
He had previously explained in an earlier tweet that he wasn't comfortable allowing his pre-teen daughter to work with Playboi Carti when he is not directly involved with the project.
"I decided North won't be doing any songs with Carti," West said. "How it look for me to get left off the album and then he ask Kim to have vocals from my daughter."
He added, "I dont [give] a f-ck about none of this industry sh-t and how its a skims line in the first place, and I dont give a f-ck what no comments."
The Rapper Says He Is Going To 'Pursue Legal Actions'
In another tweet, he said that he hadn't seen son Saint in six weeks, to which a follower asked him, "Have you considered calling Kris and asking for a visit instead of airing this laundry online?"
West replied, "So do you think I should have to ask Kris Jenner to see my Black kids?"
"Its time now they really have to kill me. As a father I will no longer distract myself from my responsibility to truly and actually protect my actual children," the rapper noted.
He then claimed he was going to pursue legal actions, adding, "It's time to go and get full custody, which will [be] me Taking them out of the hands of Disney Sierra Canyon pawn celebrity parents and the Kardashian Klan and Mama Kriss who signed for the sex tape."
"I'm not the crazy one here. I'm they father. I'm controlling what they watch what they wear and where to go to school," West added, per the Daily Mail.
