Proving that co-parenting can have its challenging moments, Kanye West demanded his ex-wife Kim Kardashian remove their children from “fake” school in a bizarre Instagram post.
In the post, West addressed Kardashian by name and requested she take his kids out of Sierra Canyon. “It’s a fake school for celebrities that are used by ‘the system,’ the picture reads.
In the caption the rapper wrote, “At this point, everybody knows what ‘the system’ is code word for. I was removed from my dad by the system and the system removed me from my children.”
“When the system drafts athletes they avoid working with those who have their father in their life because they are harder to manipulate. My two oldest know they daddy is.”
Instagram users quickly took to the post to share their take on the situation. “You got your kids walking around with a half naked lady,” one person wrote. “She needa keep the kids from you.”
Another Instagram user understood why Kanye West took to social media route in the situation. “Everyone here telling him to be mature and just talk to her obviously don’t get how this works in these places. He is outing a whole system… the kind of system that messed up Britney Spears’ life. Stop judging and see a dad who is trying to break a system and protect his kids.”
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were married from 2015 to early 2021. Kardashian had filed for divorce in Feb. 2021. The couple settled the split in late 2022. They share four children together, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
West has since married Bianca Censori.
Kim Kardashian Broke Down Over Difficult Co-Parenting With Kanye West
During an appearance on the Angie Martinez IRL podcast in 2022, Kim Kardashian broke down while discussing how difficult it was to co-parent with Kanye West.
“I’ll do anything to keep their life as normal as possible,” Kardashian explained at the time. The reality TV star further explained that she goes out of her way to not vilify her ex. “One day my kids will thank me … for not bashing their dad.”
Kim Kardashian went on to explain how she used to justify Kanye West’s actions. “I definitely protected him, and I still will in the eyes of my kids. For my kids. So, in my home, my kids don’t know anything that goes on [in] the outside world.”
Kardashian further explained that she wanted a special bond between her children and West because she had a special bond with her late father, Robert Kardashian. “I have the best memories and the greatest experience and that’s what I would want for them.”
