Kanye West Is Annoyed With How His Divorce Is Going. Here's Why
Rapper Kanye West and reality TV star Kim Kardashian were once considered to be the ultimate power couple. However, after about seven years of marriage and four children, Kim filed for divorce in February 2021. That being said, the split didn't come as a huge shock to fans given that Kimye had reportedly been living separate lives leading up to the official filing, per People.
"Kim has work and projects that are important to her, and Kanye has his," a source told the outlet in December 2020, adding, "Their lives don't overlap much." Fast forward to February 2021, and it seemed their lives were no longer destined to overlap at all. Around the time of the divorce filing, an insider told E! News that the two were "completely done and no longer speaking."
As of this writing, Kim and West have agreed on joint custody of their four children, and are not seeking spousal support, per AP News. Kim is said to be moving on with her life as best she can. A source told Entertainment Tonight that the reality star "has been doing her best to surround herself with her family and good friends, be social, go out and, of course, take care of her children."
While Kim's allegedly adjusting to her "new norm," Kanye is allegedly not too happy with how the divorce is going.
Was the divorce Kim or Kanye's idea?
Kim Kardashian may have publicly filed for divorce first, but Kanye West — who responded to the divorce papers in April 2021— would like everyone to know that the split was actually his idea. An insider spilled the beans to Page Six in mid-April 2021, insisting that "it was him [West] saying for a year that they have nothing in common except the kids and he wanted out. She [Kim] pulled all the stops to try and save the marriage." As a result, West is said to be "super annoyed that the story is being constantly presented as her divorcing him." The source added that The Life of Pablo hitmaker only allowed Kim to "file first in order to give her dignity." Ouch!
While the SKIMS founder is reportedly prioritizing her friends and family at this difficult time, West seems to have love on the brain. Per Page Six, he is thinking of dating "an artist and a creative person" so "they can speak the same language to each other." But this future partner likely has their work cut out for them as West once said in a 2019 interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe that he is "undoubtedly, the greatest human artist of all time."
Based on that, it wouldn't come as a surprise if West wants to be perceived as No. 1 in all areas of his life — including in his split with Kim.
