Does Kanye West have some kind of exclusive deal with Hollywood Unlocked or something? Ye keeps going to that outlet to yell about his divorce and how Kim Kardashian is setting boundaries and how he can’t just walk into her home whenever he wants. Ye has also had his panties in a bunch about all things Pete Davidson, because apparently Kanye believes Kim should just sit around and wait for him. In Kanye’s latest Hollywood Unlocked interview, he ranted about how he and Kim are not going to be “Will & Jada” and spill all of their marriage problems in the public sphere (which he is already doing) and how Kim is “playing games.”
The days of Kanye West ranting about his relationship with Kim Kardashian are coming to an end, according to the loquacious rapper. The 44-year-old hip-hop and fashion mogul said in a new interview that he won’t take a page from “Will and Jada” by oversharing details of his split and parenting issues with Kardashian. (West was seemingly referring to Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, who’ve aired out their relationship issues on her own online talk show, “Red Table Talk.”)
“We’re not going for a ‘Will and Jada’ because everybody got problems on both sides,” West quipped in an interview with Hollywood Unlocked.
That being said, the outspoken rapper revealed what he called “little nuances” of Kardashian “playing games” when it comes to her new boyfriend Pete Davidson. “How are you going to bring me to ‘SNL’, and then kiss the dude you’re dating right in front of me and everybody’s like, ‘Oh, that’s cool,’” he said.
Kardashian appeared on “Saturday Night Live” in October 2021 amid her divorce from West — and she and Davidson smooched onscreen for a sketch before they were publicly a couple. West was secretly advising Kardashian on her hosting gig, we previously reported. A source, who attended the “SNL” taping told us: “Ye had already left the building when Kardashian and Davidson locked lips for the skit.” The source also pointed out that the two were not dating at the time.
Meanwhile, Ye also accused Kardashian’s camp of leaking stories about his love life and even “blocking” unspecified “deals.” But he added that he’ll always draw the line when it comes to the four children they share together.
“They can go on ‘SNL’ and make jokes, make jokes in the media. They can plant stories about whoever I’m dating. They can block deals… but I’m [going to] tell you straight up, don’t play with my kids,” he said. “Whoever y’all work for — whoever y’all think the family is working for — I’m telling you right now, don’t play with my children… It’s going to be all legal baby.”
The One Where Kanye West Tries to Threaten a Kardashian With Lawyers. LMAO. I know many commenters are more on Kanye’s side, or they think Kim is pure evil or whatever, but please give Kim credit on this: she has her legal sh-t on lockdown. The Kardashian name alone ensures that she will always have the best lawyers in LA. Kim absolutely understood how bad it could get when she filed for divorce from Kanye. I expect that she and her lawyers have been documenting all of Kanye’s interviews, harassment and refusal to adhere to her clear boundaries. He’s been stalking her openly, and it would not surprise me at all if we’re talking about Kim getting a restraining order against Ye at some point.
Now, do I also think Kim has been playing PR games? Absolutely. But… so has Kanye! Kanye is clearly trying to get under her skin, and I think Kim stopped caring if her actions got under Kanye’s skin. The PR part of this divorce is messy. But legally, custodially, financially… Kim is in a great position. And Kanye can’t stand it.

Unless I am missing something, what I am seeing is Kim responding to Kanye when *he* goes to the media, or posts a rambling video saying he wasn’t invited to a party (which he wasn’t because he was supposed to have his own party, but he didn’t actually care about that all he wanted was to be near Kim to control her) That’s not playing games.
Kanye is just a textbook narcissist. He can go to the press and parade around a new gf but Kim can absolutely not do the same. Gaslighting and double standards.

Kind of hard to say Kim is leaking about his dating life when his current girlfriend can’t stop talking about it.
Can’t stand either Kim or Kanye, they can both pound sand. But Julia Fox’s grotesque eye makeup has made me burst out laughing twice this morning, so, thanks for that!
I think everyone saw this coming when she divorced Kanye. He wasn’t going to take it well. Unfortunately this is what happens when you marry and have four kids with an unwell narcissist.
Kardashian and her siblings and mom now have the sort of access to the fashion elite and A-listers that they never would have got without West, but is it worth having to deal with him for the rest of her life I wonder.
They are both clearly leaking to the press, but I would argue that Kim started doing it first (before their separation). They both have unlimited resources to fight a legal battle. They are both terrible people and I wish they would go just away and quietly live their terrible lives…
She plays games and so does he.
This reminds me so much of someone in my family. Not all of his ex wives were nice people, but he was horrible to them & his kids, especially when he was manic. Right now, he’s bragging about his million dollar deals (none exist) & how he’s going to sue everyone who gets in his way (everyone is always out to get him, you see).
The thing is, this relative was very successful in business, but he burned through everything between manic phases & divorces. He now has no contact with an of his adult children or his grandchildren. I can see Kanye losing access to his kids if he keeps this up.
Hasn’t Kim had to bail Kanye out financially a couple of times already?
Kanye knew what the Kardashians did before he started getting children with Kim, if they fart it’s on TV, so to think he is going to stop the kids appearing on TV when they’re with their mother, 90% of the time is going to be a battle.
Pete Davidson is in Kanye’s head, hope Pete is using extra security.
Said the desert to the grain of sand… 😳
I’m fascinated by Kanye’s behavior right now. What’s going to happen? Why would Kim want to block a deal he was making when that would have positive financial implications for their children? If he didn’t publicly complain about Chicago’s birthday party no one would have known about it. Just like a narcissist to twist everything. Pretty sure Kim wasn’t dating Pete when she was on SNL. I wonder if she has full custody of the children already because of Kanye’s past episodes and I wonder if she ramped up security because of Kanye and if she instructed Kris to do so.
is she doesn’t she can easily get it if his manic episodes keep happening…..he has already admitted multiple times that he’s off his Bipolar medication…….the illness isn’t curable to how long until he does something that endangers him or his children
Eh, my sense is he was much worse to her than we all realize, and that she probably has held back quite a bit. That tracks with everything else. She was the one defending him on Taylor Swift, and releasing a statement to try to support him during one of his more notable episodes, all while he was saying awful things about her mother. She stayed quiet even when he tried to convince everyone she was sleeping with Meek Mill, an accusation based on nothing more than the fact that they both went to the White House to talk about prison reform.
Kanye has left a straight up path of destruction behind him. His treatment of Amber Rose speaks for itsself, and former employees are almost uniformly extremely negative in discussing their experiences with him. Even a few weeks ago he punched a fan on the street for absolutely no reason, and in general has a reputation in the service industry for just being an awful person.
If Kim wanted to go play games in the media, I’m sure there is a lot more to be said that a reaction to his video tirade over a birthday party.
She held it back from the media, but I guarantee it’s documented with her attorneys-screenshots, texts, hard copy, the works. Kim is a lot of things, but neither she nor PMK are stupid.
I agree, he seems like an awful person. And while Kim may be a famewhore she is not stupid and is playing smart by keeping her mouth shut and let him self-sabotage.
Can someone explain how he is a “fashion mogul”.
It’s driving him crazy that she is so over it!
Not a Kimye specific comment, but IME this is the way with a lot of women. They bend and bend and bend, and then one day they’ve had it and there is no coming back. I don’t doubt that she is there, and I suspect that the fact that they have four kids just exacerbated her decision to be D-O-N-E. She’s got actual dependents to worry about, she doesn’t have time to constantly massage his ego and cater to his whims. And yes, I know, nannies, etc., but she seems to be somewhat hands-on and a capable/responsible mom.
“Don’t play with my children”.. and who is doing that? Maybe the one who complained/lied about not being invited to one of children’s bday parties? Oh wait-
Kanye should seriously learn to stfu and stop being such an immature fool.

I love that Kim has stopped putting up with Kanye’s games. Stopped caring about making him happy. Good. It appears the beloved Donda never held her son accountable or told him no while he was growing up. He’s like a spoiled tantrum toddler. Get the restraining order, Kim.
It was only a matter of time before he started losing it and bashing her in public. But his new flame never shuts up either soooo. I’m just surprised it didn’t happen sooner, she filed for divorce almost a year ago🤷
Was he not the man that wrote the autobiographical ‘Runaway’ ?! The song where he called himself out as an insecure, narcissistic, girlfriend cheating mysogynist?! Kim got with him after that. She did it for the fame and the clout. He’s a genius she wanted to be validated in the public eye so getting with him was a smart move. However Money does not change the essence of a person or the mental problems they were born with. She knew who she married. If he trolled her any harder he would be walking around with a bridge. They will both benefit financially from the publicity, the kids are the ones that lose out.
And meanwhile Pete’s going on with his life – buying a retired Long Island ferry!!!
