00:00
There is a war that has erupted between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
00:06
It involves swastikas, it involves their kids,
00:12
and ultimately it could... and Diddy.
00:16
And it could also involve a judge.
00:18
Yes, because Kim is really upset about this new song
00:22
that Kanye dropped over the weekend.
00:24
It's called Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine.
00:28
It features Northwest rapping.
00:31
It also features Diddy's son, King Combs.
00:34
And you also hear Diddy himself on that,
00:37
which is the main reason Kim wanted to stop this song from coming out.
00:42
So here's the backdrop to this.
00:44
Kim... I just think we should put this out there.
00:48
She has always tried to get Kanye and their kids to have a relationship.
00:55
He has not really been around the kids that much.
00:58
He chooses not to do that.
01:00
But when he does, she's always been accommodating,
01:05
except for this situation, because of what Charles just said.
01:08
She's afraid this creates danger for the kid to be part of this,
01:13
where Diddy's involved.
01:15
While Diddy's in the middle of this indictment and all the lawsuits.
01:18
That's right. So Kanye recorded this,
01:22
Kim found out, and Kanye said he was going to drop it.
01:26
And Kim said, I do not want you to do that.
01:29
They had a dispute under the term...
01:31
When you say drop it, that he was going to put out the song.
01:33
I'm sorry. That's right. That's what the kids...
01:35
Sorry, I know. You're so street.
01:37
You're so street, I didn't understand.
01:39
So, so, so the...
01:43
Here's the deal.
01:44
When lawyers try to be street. Anyway.
01:46
They have an agreement in their divorce
01:49
that if there's a dispute over decisions for the children,
01:53
this has to do with their joint legal custody,
01:56
they'll go to a mediator.
01:58
And there was a mediation on Friday,
02:00
where they went back and forth on it,
02:04
and Kanye ultimately agreed,
02:06
okay, I won't release the song.
02:09
Right. We should say Kanye was not actually there at this meeting.
02:12
His lawyer was.
02:13
His lawyer was.
02:14
So they made a decision that he wouldn't.
02:16
He did. On Sunday. Yesterday.
02:18
He released the song.
02:20
Kim is really upset.
02:22
Yeah, she is upset for the reasons you said.
02:25
To put North on this track that is clearly going to attract
02:30
a lot of attention for the fact that you are hearing
02:32
what sounds like a jailhouse conversation between,
02:35
a phone conversation between Kanye and Diddy
02:38
at a time when this is just a perilous time for Diddy, obviously,
02:44
people are throwing all sorts of allegations,
02:46
and now North is featured on a song with Diddy.
02:49
She has every right to be upset.
02:51
The way Kanye is behaving so erratically
02:53
is just beyond the pale.
02:54
There are close calls that parents have,
02:56
maybe you get a mediator to talk about
02:58
what extent you want the child to have social media,
03:00
what school you want them to go to.
03:02
To be around a guy in a Nazi sweatshirt,
03:04
dropping a track with an accused sex trafficker
03:07
is beyond the pale stuff,
03:08
and she would win in front of any judge,
03:10
let alone a mediator,
03:11
and she really has a duty now at this point as a parent
03:13
to intervene.
03:14
I mean, Kanye is just off the reservation
03:16
in terms of his behavior,
03:17
and I know he's her father, but...
03:18
There's only one way of intervening,
03:19
and that would be to go back to court
03:21
and ask a judge to strip Kanye of joint legal custody
03:27
because of this,
03:28
and I think when you look at what Kanye posted last night,
03:33
I mean, he's declaring war.
03:35
He is saying, test me.
03:37
The man makes the final decision.
03:40
Kind of says it all.
03:41
I think Kim has always,
03:42
because we've been at this place before
03:44
where they disagree about things,
03:46
and it seems like Kim has always deferred to
03:49
wanting to maintain,
03:51
wanting Kanye to be able to maintain
03:54
a good relationship with the kids
03:56
when he wants to see them,
03:57
and so she maybe doesn't want to inflame things by...
04:01
That's the word.
04:02
No, no, no, that's the word.
04:04
What I'm hearing is she's just afraid
04:07
that when you set Kanye off,
04:10
it's dynamite blowing up.
04:12
Yeah.
04:13
I mean, that's kind of what it is.
04:14
By the way, he posted this weekend,
04:17
before he posted the song,
04:18
or maybe it was after,
04:19
but he posted what he says are text messages
04:22
between himself and Kim,
04:24
and it's clear, if they're accurate,
04:27
that she's upset that he's going forward with this.
04:30
He's saying things like,
04:31
I'm never speaking to you again.
04:33
Well, he said something else.
04:34
He says, basically,
04:35
you're going to have to kill me.
04:37
Yeah.
04:38
So, I mean, how much more incendiary can you get than that?
04:44
Hey, guys.
04:45
Ashley here from Arizona.
04:47
Listen, as a mom myself,
04:49
I can totally relate to Kim's feelings,
04:52
her perspective on not wanting North
04:54
associated with this at all,
04:56
and I did actually listen to the song.
04:58
It's painting Diddy in a not bad light,
05:02
so it almost comes off as an optimistic vibe
05:05
going on to it,
05:06
so I can understand why she does not want her daughter involved with this,
05:10
and the fact that Kanye is fighting with her on that is,
05:14
I would be scared,
05:15
and I really think that, you know,
05:18
he needs to consider, like,
05:20
the serious repercussions of maybe potentially
05:22
never seeing his kids again,
05:23
and, you know,
05:25
but I am kind of curious to know, like,
05:27
what he's holding out on as far as, like,
05:30
this we'll both go down together situation,
05:33
but we know that he deals with, like, mental health,
05:35
so could it be connected to that?
05:37
I think everything is connected to that.
05:40
I mean, I don't know how you take that calculus away
05:44
from everything he's doing.
05:46
It's all connected to that.
