Kim Kardashian is reportedly considering changing her custody agreement with ex-husband Kanye West after he released a song featuring their eldest child, daughter North West, without her approval.
According to TMZ, the “Kardashians” star is seriously debating taking the hip-hop star — who now goes by Ye — to court to ask a judge to strip him of joint legal custody in light of the drama.
The exes, who wed in 2014, settled their divorce in 2022 and agreed to joint physical and legal custody of their four children: North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5.

Physical custody is reportedly not an issue as the “Heartless” rapper rarely sees his kids and Kardashian, 44, still wants them to have a good relationship with their father, per the outlet.
However, it’s a different story when it comes to decision-making for their brood.
The former couple’s divorce agreement reportedly states that they must attend a private hearing with a judge in the event there’s a conflict regarding their kids.
However, after this weekend’s debacle, it has become clear that the rapper, 47, refuses to abide by the rules of their agreement.

Kardashian requested an emergency hearing with their lawyers, a mediator and a judge after learning West was planning to drop a song featuring their eldest daughter, North, and embattled rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Although Ye skipped the meeting, he reportedly agreed not to release the track, titled “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine.”
However, Ye went back on his word and dropped the song on X one day later, declaring that men “make the final decision.”
The “Donda” rapper also shared a heated text exchange between himself and Kardashian, who made it clear she did not want their daughter involved with the jailed Bad Boy Records mogul.

Ye seemed furious about Kardashian sending him a cease-and-desist letter and trademarking their daughter’s name — despite it allegedly being a decision they made together.
“I’m never speaking with you again,” he allegedly texted his ex-wife in the since-deleted upload.
However, Kardashian claimed they had “agreed” to trademark all their kids’ names “when they were born” so that “no one else would take them.”
“I asked you at the time if I can trademark her name. You said yes. When she’s 18, it goes to her. So stop,” she purportedly replied.
“I sent paperwork over so she wouldn’t be in the Diddy song to protect her.”

Ye asked her to “amend” the legal papers or risk “going to war.”
“And neither of us will recover from the public fallout,” he threatened, adding, “You’re going to have to kill me.”
Soon after, he went on a lengthy X rant, accusing the “Kardashian mob” of restricting his parenting abilities and comparing their current custody agreement to “visitation” in “jail.”
However, an insider told Page Six that the Skkn founder is just trying to do what is best for her children.
“Kim’s priority is the well-being and safety of her children and to protect them from being around Kanye’s controversial behavior,” a source told us over the weekend.
