Ye aka Kanye West shared his willingness to fight ex-wife Kim Kardashian over the trademark for their daughter North West’s name.
On Saturday (March 15), Ye aka Kanye West shared his anger with former wife Kim Kardashian over an issue involving their daughter, North West. He took to social media to detail how Kardashian went ahead to obtain ownershp of any trademarks in a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, beginning with a post showing a document that stated that the reality star is the “sole and exclusive owner” of trademarks. It further states that Ye’s usage violates the stipulated judgement both agreed upon for joint custody of North West.
“This happened without me being aware How do you guys feel about this,” Ye asked followers in the post’s caption. The following post showed Ye reiterating the document’s content, leading to him sharing a screenshot of a text conversation between him and Kim Kardashian. “I’m never speaking with you again,” Ye wrote in the exchange. Kim replied, “I asked u at the time if I can trademark her name You said yes when she’s 18 it goes to her so stop I sent paper work over so she wouldn’t be in the Diddy song To protect her One person has to trademark! We agreed when they were born I would get all of our kids names and trademarks So no one else would take them.” He went on to add, “Amend it or I’m going to war And neither of us will recover from the public fallout You’re going to have to kill me.”
Another post showed Ye explaining his desire to raise his kids and not just “see” them, claiming his rights to do so were taken by the “Kardashian mob,” as well as Hulu and Disney in what he states is a “bigger agenda to use the selectively bred Black children to be platforms to influence Black people.” In a follow-up, he compared his current situation to being in prison and having “visitation” rights before ending with stating he didn’t care about the opinions of “p***y ass celebrities” that are “slaves to the Jews.” Ye then posted a snippet of an unreleased song, “Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunshine.” The track features Ye and North West, as well as Diddy along with his son, Christian “King” Combs and Jasmine Williams, a rising singer with the Yeezy record label. He’d later delete the snippet from his account.

Kanye West is getting back to his music roots, and it’s all thanks to his daughter, North West. He posted a video on Instagram, saying how North made him fall in love with music again. She asked him to make beats for her, and that’s when Kanye got back on the ASR (a classic sampler). He said he was chopping up beats by hand for her album and his album BULLY.
Kanye went on to say, “This little girl made me love music again,” showing how much of an impact North had on him. Instead of just producing for himself, he’s now doing it for her—and fans are here for it. This father-daughter collaboration is a special moment, and fans are hype to see what kind of music they come up with together. For Kanye, this project feels like a full-circle moment, reminding him why he fell in love with making music in the first place.
Kanye West made headlines when he played his daughter North West’s first single, “Miss Westie,” at the Vultures album listening party. The track blew up instantly, going viral all over social media. Soon after, Ye and North dropped the song and a music video, showing off North’s natural talent. It was clear she’s got a real love for music, just like her dad. Fans are curious to see what’s next for North as she keeps making moves in the music world. Looks like she’s got a bright future ahead.

Life father, like daughter? It would seem North West is following in the steps of her dad, Kanye West, musically, that is.
Spotted on HipHopDX, Ye’s seed, North, is gearing up to bless her besties with an album that pays direct homage to her father’s first project.
During Vultures 2’s “listening event” in Phoenix on Sunday (March 10), standing side by side with her dad, North West announced that her album was coming.
“I’ve been working on an album, and it is called Elementary School Dropout,” the 10-year-old told her dad’s loyal to fault fans.
If you’re saying that to yourself, that sounds familiar, but it is because it is a cheeky play on her West’s first album, College Dropout, which introduced the rapping super producer to the Hip-Hop world.
The album arrives after Northie made her rapping debut on the Ty Dolla $ign assisted album Vultures 1 track, “Talking.”
In the song, the daughter of Ye and Kim Kardashian rapped, “I love it here/We’re gonna take over another year/It’s your bestie, Miss, Miss Westie/Don’t try to test me/It’s gonna get messy/ Just, just bless me, bless me/It’s your bestie, Miss, Miss Westie.”
Ye’s other children, Psalm and Chicago, were at the listening event and hit the stage while their older sister spit her bars.
Oh The Irony
West’s exposing his kids to social media and public light is strange because he has made big stinks about North being on TikTok and his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, exposing them to social media.
Also, the hypocritical religious zealot wants everyone and the world to see his wife Bianca Censori’s goodies because he’s currently dressing her in as little clothing as possible.
When Will North West’s Album Arrive?
No word on when North West’s album is dropping. Maybe he will release it alongside Vultures 2, which he claims will not be available on digital streaming platforms. So there is a good chance it won’t see the light of day.
The first Vultures project had to be pulled due to numerous copyright issues. The rapper/producer, famous for making beats using samples, somehow forgot how clearing them works.
Honestly, add this North West album to something we (particularly this writer) aren’t checking for.

Kim Kardashian has shared that when it comes to co-parenting with her ex-husband, Kanye West, he’s still considered the fan favorite.
During a recent episode of The Kardashians, the two eldest Kardashians sisters, Kourtney and Kim, were discussing co-parenting with their ex-husbands and the challenges of overcoming being hurt by their children preferring to stay at the residence of their fathers versus theirs. During the sisterly chat, Kim revealed that her oldest daughter, North West, revealed she prefers to spend time with her dad because he “has it all figured out.”
“She’ll be like, ‘Dad is the best,’” Kim K. said. “‘He has it all figured out. He doesn’t have a nanny, he doesn’t have a chef, he doesn’t have security. He lives in an apartment.’ And she’ll start crying, ‘Why don’t you have an apartment? I can’t believe we don’t have an apartment.’”
Following the revelation, Kourtney empathized with the situation, sharing that her three children with ex, Scott Disick feel the same.
“They do that at Scott’s too,” Kourtney Kardashian said. “‘Dad has the best house, your house sucks. He has the best house. It’s not super big, the vibe is better.’ I feel like everything falls on the parent that’s more involved.’”
Clearly feeling upset, the SKIMS founder quipped that the children felt more independent due to “making ramen noodles” while under the care of Yeezy.
“They make their own food. That is amazing that you make Ramen,” Kim K said, to which Kourtney added, “You boil water and pour it onto some noodles.”
Later in the show during the confessional, Kim shared that Kourtney believes that 10-year-old North is the reality star’s “lesson” in her life. “I’m supposed to learn even more about patience—she teaches me patience. She has taught me a lot about life,” she shared.
Kim also shares seven-year-old Saint, five-year-old Chicago, and four-year-old Psalm with her ex-husband Ye; their divorce was finalized in November 2022, almost two years after she filed to end their 6-year marriage. Following the dissolution, Kardashian faced backlash in May after seemingly calling herself a single mother, stating that she has “no one there to help” during a podcast interview with Jay Shetty. Addressing the controversy, Kardashian said:
“I think I’m still learning how to be a single parent. Obviously, having nannies and a chef to help cook is beyond helpful. It’s all about family and enjoying these moments. It takes a village to raise kids, but at the end of the day, your kids only want you. The struggles that my kids go through really have nothing to do with the amount of help that I have.”

North West pays tribute to her dad Ye aka Kanye West’s Graduation album by dressing up as the “Dropout Bear” mascot for Halloween.
On Saturday morning (Oct. 28), North West shared a video to the TikTok account that she shares with her mother Kim Kardashian. The video begins with the 10-year-old facing the camera operated by her mother, showing off how much she resembles her father, Ye aka Kanye West before donning the head of the “Dropout Bear” costume and dancing around to a sped-up version of “American Boy,” the 2007 smash hit by Estelle which featured Ye.
There were two other posts on the popular social media platform featuring the preteen in the costume. One showed her singing and dancing to “I Wonder,” from the Grammy Award-winning Graduation album and the other featured her dancing nonstop for almost a minute in full costume to “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.”
The costume itself is the one from West’s third album, Graduation, which showed the “Dropout Bear” mascot decked out in dark denim jeans, a blue and gray varsity jacket and a “Jesus piece” chain. The artwork of the bear was done by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. The mascot became famous after being featured on the cover of West’s debut album The College Dropout in 2004.
It’s not the first time that North has paid homage to her famous father. Earlier this year, she showed off an outfit featuring a Ralph Lauren long-sleeved rugby shirt with blue and orange stripes similar to what Ye wore at the time of The College Dropout’s release. The spooky season of Halloween has seen North West and her siblings honor other notable music artists in the past. Last year, she dressed as the late singer Aaliyah wearing a full ensemble by Tommy Hilfiger while Saint dressed up as Snoop Dogg. Chicago dressed like the singer Sade, and Psalm sported a costume inspired by the late Eazy-E.
