In a candid revelation, American rapper and entrepreneur Kanye West has admitted that he was initially reluctant to have children with his ex-wife, reality TV star Kim Kardashian. During an interview with DJ Akademiks, Kanye disclosed that starting a family with Kim was not part of his plans early in their relationship.
“I didn’t want to have kids with Kim,” he said bluntly, before adding that their eventual four children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, were part of what he now views as "God’s plan."
The statement has reignited discussions about his turbulent marriage to Kim, which ended in a highly publicized divorce. The couple, once regarded as one of the most influential power duos in entertainment, had their fair share of ups and downs, with co-parenting becoming a major point of contention after their split.
West’s comments have sparked mixed reactions. Some social media users sympathized with him, acknowledging that parenting is a major decision that shouldn’t be forced, while others criticized him for seemingly downplaying the significance of his role as a father.
Beyond his personal revelations, the interview itself generated controversy for another reason—West appeared on screen wearing an outfit resembling a Ku Klux Klan hood. The choice of attire added fuel to ongoing debates about his erratic public behavior and controversial statements over the past few years.
Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian has yet to respond to Kanye’s latest revelation. The reality star, who has spoken openly about the challenges of co-parenting with West, continues to prioritize her children's well-being amidst their parents' ongoing public drama.
