Which Song On Kanye West's 'Donda' Is About Kim Kardashian?
Kanye West is back in the music scene with a new album named after his late mother, Donda West, his first full length release since his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian called time on their marriage and filed for divorce in February.
But is Kanye really rapping about Kim on his new release? Well, it definitely sounds like it. Rumors have been swirling for a while that the rapper gets pretty personal on "Donda" — his first full album since he dropped "Jesus Is King" in 2019 — after the star began teasing the album on social media and at private release parties.
It was then reported that Kanye maybe didn't have the nicest things to say about Kim, the mother of his four children, on the release. The Sun initially claimed he supposedly boasted about escaping Calabasas, where the Kardashians famously live, and also said living with Kim was like living in a prison as he accused her of taking everything he had.
However, a Page Six source claimed the song wasn't actually "negative" about the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star, but was "emotional and personal" and touched deeply on his personal life. They also claimed Kanye had personally played the track for Kim, with a source adding to E! News that he didn't want to "blindside" his wife of seven years.
But what is the song called and what does Kanye actually rap? Read on for the details.
