Kanye West addresses feud with ex Kim Kardashian in wild social media spree

Kanye West has been sharing explosive revelations about his relationship with estranged wife Kim Kardashian and their family on his social media this week.

When the pair split after nearly seven years of marriage, they remained close at first, putting on a united front.

Kim, 41, who filed for divorce in February last year, appeared at Kanye's album listening parties and they also sat together at events with their eldest daughter North, eight.

They also promised to put co-parenting North and their other kids Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two, before anything else.

However, since then, their relationship has deteriorated with each making public swipes about the other.

Kayne, 44 has often taken to social media to speak about the situation, with such posts escalating in the past weeks, covering topics such as his daughter's birthday party, and also claiming Kim has accused him in the past of putting a "hit" on her.

We take a look at the rapper's social media posts since his split from Kim...

In late November, Kanye shared a throwback photo of the pair kissing, while wearing matching hoodies, despite Kim's romance with Saturday Night Live actor Pete Davidson.

This seemed to chime with reports he was not ready to give up on his marriage, backed up when he appeared to attempt to win Kim back as he performed on stage with Drake in December, changing the lyrics to his hit Runaway.

Instead of saying "Runaway from me baby", he sang: “I need you to run right back to me,” adding: “More specifically Kimberly”.

It appears over the winter months Kayne changed his stance on his estranged wife, hitting out over his eldest daughter's use of TikTok recently.

Last Friday, the fashion designer took to Instagram, where he has 11.2m followers, to beg fans for help as he insisted his daughter is continuing to post videos on the platform 'against his will'.

The Touch The Sky hitmaker asked for advice as he shared a screenshot of his eldest daughter's latest viral video.

Alongside the screenshot, the angry father penned: "SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST DIVORCE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO ABOUT MY DAUGHTER BEING PUT ON TIK TOK AGAINST MY WILL."

The plea came after Kanye spoke to Jason Lee on an episode of Hollywood Unlocked, about North being on TikTok.

Kanye admitted that he had his two female cousins speak to Kardashian's 'security' on his behalf last week after an alleged 'incident' at the family home.

He recalled: "I said, 'I need you to go and say these two things: Security ain't going to be in between me and my children, and my children ain't going to be on TikTok without my permission.'"

Next week, on the same show, he blasted Kim for North wearing lipstick on TikTok.

Kim, who had largely remained quiet in response to her estranged husband's criticism of herself and her family, retaliated on her Instagram Story, and slammed the rapper for trying to "control and manipulate" their divorce.

She went on to say that she is "doing [her] best to protect [their] daughter" North, eight, and that being on the platform "brings her happiness".

Kanye then responded to Kim, taking issue with Kim referring to herself as the "main provider" of their four children, going on to accuse her of not providing the correct address for their daughter Chicago's fourth birthday party.

Sharing a screengrab of Kim's Insta Story, he wrote: "What do you mean by main provider? America saw you try to kidnap my daughter on her birthday by not providing the address.

"You put security on me inside of the house to play with my son then accused me of stealing I had to take a drug test after Chicago’s party cause you accused me of being on drugs Tracy Romulus stop manipulating Kim to be this way…"

On the same day Kanye posted on Instagram about North being on TikTok 'against his will', he blasted those "picking sides against the dad".

He posted a screenshot of a tweet with the headline: "Kanye West shades Kim Kardashian over North West on Tik Tok."

A Twitter account called @NewYeHeadlines retweeted it, writing: "Corrected: Kanye West wants a say on how his children are raised."

On Instagram, Kanye wrote: "MY CHILDREN ARE NOT A GAME TO ME," accusing media outlets of trying "TO SPIN THE NARRATIVE".

He added they were "PICKING SIDES AGAINST THE DAD".

A few days later, in a tirade on Instagram, Kanye made extraordinary claims about his wife.

He said: "YESTERDAY KIM ACCUSED ME OF PUTTING A HIT OUT ON HER."

Kanye then told his followers he wanted to 'get this straight,' adding: "I BEG TO GO TO MY DAUGHTERS PARTY AND IM ACCUSED OF BEING ON DRUGS THEN I GO PLAY WITH MY SON AND I TAKE MY AKIRA GRAPHIC NOVELS AND IM ACCUSED OF STEALING."

He went on: "NOW IM BEING ACCUSED OF PUTTING A HIT ON HER THESE IDEAS CAN ACTUALLY GET SOMEONE LOCKED UP THEY PLAY LIKE THAT WITH BLACK MENS LIVES WEATHER ITS GETTING THEM FREE OR GETTING THEM LOCKED UP."

Kayne appeared not to be able to let the issue of his daughter's birthday party go, and in a now-deleted post that was captured by the Hollywood Unlocked account, he claimed he was kept in the dark about the details of Chicago's party.

In a series of videos he said he hadn't been told the location or time of the celebrations, and also appeared to throw shade at Kris Jenner's boyfriend Corey - potentially questioning his masculinity.

He then demanded an apology from everyone else who was at the birthday party.

"I still need a public apology from the entire family for this You give everything you got to someone then they try to bully you and then say they won't apologize [sic]," he wrote. "It's up till they all take accountability."

"Every woman there including Cory," he wrote, misspelling his name.

He also shared what appeared to be a screenshot of a conversation between him and a family friend before the party, who he kept anonymous.

"Thank you. It was great to see the kids," he appeared to write in his first message.

"Hope you have the best day. Positive vibes your way," the fashion designer wrote.

"You too! positive vibes all around!" responded the unidentified person cheerfully.

But then the following day he then sent the same person a message which read: "I still need an apology for you not giving me the address to daughters party."

Adding to the drama, he tagged Kim, Khloe, Kourtney Kardashian, Kris, Kendall and Kylie Jenner in the savage post.

In a strange move, he also tagged people who had no connection at all to the family feud, including Barack Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris and Jeff Bezos.

After the public feud, Kanye begged God to "bring his family back together", in an Instagram post on Wednesday this week, suggesting he is in a mood to make up with Kim.

He said: "GOD PLEASE BRING OUR FAMILY BACK TOGETHER, " while sharing a photo collage from Kim's new shoot with Vogue, where she is having fun with their children, who are playing with toy cars and balls.

Could this be the end of the pair's public warring? We shall see.
