Kim Kardashian has hit back at Kanye West’s latest outburst after the rapper claimed he hasn’t seen their son Saint “this year” despite being photographed with him just months ago.
West, 47, made the statement in a post on X, formerly Twitter, writing: “I HAVENT SEEN SAINT THIS YEAR.”
The comment sparked a flurry of reactions online, with some users criticising Kardashian, 44, while others defended her, praising her for protecting their children amid West’s ongoing controversies.
The pair, who were married from 2014 until their divorce in 2022, share four children together: North, 11, Saint, nine, Chicago, six, and Psalm, five.
West’s claim has been directly contradicted by public sightings, including a January appearance with Saint.
The rapper, who has been living and travelling overseas with his wife Bianca Censori, 30, has spent the last several months between Japan, China, and the Maldives.
A source close to Kardashian told MailOnline that West has had opportunities to see the children whenever he wants and that there are “no limitations” on visits.
“Kanye has been in LA recently for a few months and didn’t ask to see the kids aside from North until a week before he was leaving again,” the insider said.
“Kanye can see the kids anytime he wants, there are no limitations, but Kim is very careful also to not put them in situations that are chaotic. Protecting her kids are first and foremost.”
West has previously aired grievances online, claiming he’s been denied access to his children.
In a separate post, he wrote: “I HAVE TO SUPPRESS THE FACT THAT MY KIDS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME AND EVERYONE JUST WATCHES. I need a plan to exercise my rights with my kids.”
In January, MailOnline reported that West reunited with his children following a 118-day absence.
He was seen shopping at a 7-Eleven with Saint, Chicago, and Psalm in Tokyo’s Ginza district. Before that, the last public sighting of him with his kids was at a Vultures 2 listening event in China last September.
The Standard has contacted Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s reps for comment.
The report comes after West and Censori fuelled reunion speculation on Monday, hours after she broke her silence following their ‘split’.
The Yeezy rapper suggested they had broken up in the lyrics of his track, BIANCA, released earlier this month from his new album, WW3.
West - who officially changed his name to Ye in 2018 - claimed Censori, 30, "ran away" after she tried to have the troubled star "committed".
He suggested the Australian architect was the one who left him, saying in the chorus: "Bianca, I just want you to come back/Come back to me/I know what I did to make you mad.”
He added in a verse: "My baby she ran away/But first she tried to get me committed/Not going to the hospital 'cause I am not sick I just do not get it.”
On Sunday, Censori shared her first post since the rapper’s jaw-dropping claims two weeks earlier - a photo of her posing in a wet see-through nude top.
Censori made no mention of the status of her marriage to West or his recent claims.
Then on Monday, West hinted that their relationship was back on track when he shared a new photo of them together on X.
Posting a picture of the two together, he simply captioned it, “‘fit pic.”
