Kanye West is feuding with the Kardashians again, and the post that sparked the feud was a simple Snapchat snap. On Saturday, the rapper, who has a reputation as an outspoken individual and a protective father, slammed Khloé Kardashian after she posted a picture of his eleven-year-old daughter, North West.
Khloé's post on Snapchat included 11-year-old North with the missive, "North looks so grown up!!" As innocent as the message might be, it didn't go over well with Kanye, who took to social media to vent about the perceived slight, accusing Khloé and the Kardashian family of exploiting his children for publicity and manipulation.
Kanye immediately hit back, reposting Khloé's Snap and sharing a furious message about the Kardashians' role in his children's lives. He accused the family of profiting off North and trying to dictate the narrative about his children.
"They like to act as if they're celebrating my kids, 'cause they're family, but it's never about what they do for the kids, it's only what they can do with the kids to help build their image. Don't speak on my daughter," Kanye allegedly screamed in a since-deleted post.
This is not the first time Kanye has publicly complained about how his children are portrayed in the media. Since Kim Kardashian divorced him, he has been outspoken about wanting more excellent agency over how North and his other children are portrayed publicly. His feuds with Kim and her family have become nearly as public as his music career.
For the most part, the Kardashian-Jenner clan maintained radio silence about Kanye's outburst. Khloé did not directly address Kanye's accusations, and Kim Kardashian, who shares four children with Kanye, also stayed away from the drama, at least publicly.
But fans had other things to say. Social media soon erupted with divided opinions. Some in the comments stood by Kanye, acknowledging that the Kardashians heavily marketed the family, including the younger generation. Others thought Khloé was simply an affectionate aunt and Kanye was overreacting.
Kanye's ongoing fight with the Kardashians over their influence on his children isn't new. He previously lambasted Kim for allowing North to be on TikTok, saying it was unacceptable. Kanye has also accused Kris Jenner of being overreachful regarding how the Kardashian kids are portrayed in the media.
This is the latest chapter in the longstanding feud between Kanye and his ex-wife's family. Although he has tried to move on, concentrating on his new marriage to Bianca Censori and his music, his great concern for his kids continues to draw him back into battle with the Kardashians.
Whether this will be just another social media blow-up or the start of something more explosive, the drama with Kanye and the Kardashians never actually ends.
