Kanye West ‘wants FULL custody of kids’ despite Instagram outbursts & believes Kim Kardashian is ‘never around’
KANYE West 'wants to go for full custody of his kids' despite his Instagram outbursts claiming his ex Kim Kardashian 'is never around.'
The rapper, 44, has been telling pals that he thinks he would make a "better parent" and claims Kim, 41, goes away all the time so the kids have to stay with nannies, an insider said.
However those close to Kanye think it's unlikely he would ever win full custody following months of outbursts and attacks against Kim and her new boyfriend Pete Davidson
A source told The Sun: “Kanye wants to go for full custody of the children.
"People close to him were pretty shocked and have been trying to persuade him not to, but he is adamant that he wants the kids full time.
“He believes Kim is away a lot working and spending time with Pete and that he’d be a better parent."

The insider continued: “Kanye thinks the children spend too much time with the nannies and that he’d be around more than Kim.
“He also has issues with Kim’s parenting, he thinks she gives the kids whatever they want, and they are growing up spoiled.
“But everyone close to Kim knows she is a devoted mother to her children.
“Of course the children spend time with nannies but she is a working mother."

While the informant said that Kim wants to "co-parent as much as possible," they added that she "doesn’t want to cut Kanye out of her life even though Kanye believes otherwise."
“Kanye spent long periods of time away from the kids when they were together, he practically lived in Wyoming for the past year of their marriage.
“No one thinks it's likely he would win full custody," the source concluded.
After nearly seven years of marriage, Kim, 41, filed for divorce from her former husband back in February 2021.
The former couple share four kids: North, eight; Saint, six; Chicago, four; and Psalm, two.
War on Pete
After Kim moved on with Pete in late 2021, Kanye has done everything from calling the comedian a "d**khead," to threatening to "beat his a**," and accusing him of attempting to "destroy" his family.
Kanye even "kidnapped and beheaded" Pete in the animated music video of his song Eazy; a project which he has defended despite wide criticism.
Just this week Kanye was banned from Instagram for at least 24 hours for lashing out at Trevor Noah with a racial slur.
The spat seems to have started when Noah, 38, used a segment on his show to look at Kanye's treatment of Kim.
The temporary ban came after a marathon of threats towards his ex and Pete.
On March 16, the father-of-four posted a screenshot of a follower's comment reading: "The way Skete used Kim's marital status to address Kanye was a sneak diss to her & she didn't even catch it."
"Kim is literally the best mother I've ever met."
Pete Davidson
Kanye captioned his post, seemingly slamming the comedian's past drug use: "Im really concerned that SKETE will get my kids mom hooked on drugs He’s in rehab every 2 months."
The fan comment referred to a leaked harsh text exchange between Pete and Kanye earlier this week.
In texts leaked by Pete's friend Dave Sirius, the comedian allegedly texts Kanye: "Yo it's Skeet. Can you please take a second to calm down?" Pete started, using the derogatory nickname Kanye gave him.
"It's 8am in the morning. It doesn't gotta be like this.
"Kim is literally the best mother I've ever met.
'Grow the f**k up'
"What she does for those kids is amazing and you are so f**king lucky that she's your kids' mom.
"I've decided I'm not gonna let you treat us this way anymore and I'm done being quiet. Grow the f**k up."
Kanye appeared to respond: "Oh you using profanity. What are you doing right now?"
Pete replied: "In bed with your wife," and shared a shirtless photo of himself laying down.

"Happy to see you're out the hospital and rehab," Kanye responded, referring to Pete's past battles with mental health and substance abuse.
