Overview

• Kanye West released a livestream on April 30, 2025, where he ranted about his custody arrangement and threatened legal action to gain greater control over his children’s upbringing.
• West accused Kim Kardashian, Hulu, and Disney of limiting his parental authority, comparing his current visitation rights to being in 'jail.'
• In the livestream, West claimed he had not seen his son Saint this year, a statement contradicted by photos of him with Saint and two other children in Tokyo in January.
• Sources close to Kardashian maintain that West has unrestricted visitation rights but emphasize her priority is shielding the children from chaotic or unstable situations.
• The conflict underscores broader tensions between West’s demands for decision-making authority and Kardashian’s efforts to maintain a stable environment for their children.
