Kim Kardashian abruptly cut short her daughter North West’s meeting with her father, Kanye West, after learning that the Andrew Tate and brother Tristan were going to be joining them.
The disgraced rapper, 47, this week slapped his ex-wife, 44, with baseless claims that she was pimping out their children in a series of vile posts on X.
West, who shares four kids with Kardashian, made the shocking allegations after North, 11, took part in an FKA Twigs song and subsequent TikTok video.
As North paid a visit to her father last week, Kardashian immediately pulled the plug on their meeting after her security team informed her that Andrew and Tristan Tate were en route to the location, TMZ reports.
An emergency hearing took place last week after West had their daughter feature on his new song, Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine, alongside Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Kardashian, West and their legal reps met with a mediator to discuss West’s recent social media tirades, which included everything from him confessing he’s a Hitler-loving Nazi to him selling swastika T-shirts.
Discussions also briefly touched on the Tate brothers, the outlet adds.
Tate and his brother, Tristan, left Romania late last month after a travel ban on them was lifted while they face charges including human trafficking, all part of an alleged organised crime ring.
Andrew Tate was also charged with rape.
The Tates, who are dual US-British citizens, were arrested in late 2022 and formally indicted last year. They have denied all wrongdoing in the case.
The controversial brothers arrived in Florida in late February after which Florida’s attorney general opened a criminal investigation.
As for West, last week’s hearing also touched on North’s involvement in his new song.
The outlet adds that the rapper agreed not to release the track during the meeting, however soon went back on his word over the weekend.
After releasing an audio clip of the song on X, Kardashian has reportedly been receiving advice from her legal council on sole custody filing options.
West, for his part, alluded to taking a similar approach.
After sharing a snippet of the song on X Saturday, West posted screenshots of his alleged text message exchange with Kardashian where they fought over their oldest child’s involvement in the song.
In the alleged texts, the billionaire Skims founder told West that she trademarked North’s name in an attempt to stop the song from being released, according to TMZ.
West’s phone call with jailed mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has since been leaked, in which Combs encouraged the rapper to “have some f***ing” fun.
It comes as Beyonce’s mother appeared to lash out at West in a social media post after he posted a vile and unprovoked rant about her grandchildren on X.
Earlier this week, the disgraced rapper questioned the mental capacity of Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s 7-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir, in a disturbing post shared on X where he described the twins as “r*****ed”.
After deleting his initial post, the 24-time Grammy winner reposted the despicable comments on Elon Musk’s platform.
“It’s hard to remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil,” the children’s grandmother, Tina Knowles, posted online. “But I know that no weapon formed against me or my family shall prosper.”
“This battle is not mine, but the Lord’s, I know that God has got this.”
In his tirade on social media, West further claimed that Beyoncé and Jay-Z used IVF to conceive their youngest children.
After deleting the post, the rapper emphasised that he didn’t remove it to be “a good person.”
“I need everyone to know that I took the post about Jay Z and Beyonce’s family down … because there was a possibility of my Twitter being cancelled [sic],” he wrote.
West later said he felt “bad” after the unwarranted attack on the couple’s children.
“I LOVE JAY Z AND I DO FEEL BAD,” Ye began, seemingly walking back his prior attacks. “I ALWAYS FELT LIKE THE BLACK SHEEP LIKE I WANTED FAMILY IN THIS MUSIC S**T.”
“I’D RUN ON STAGES THINKING I WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING AND WOULD ALWAYS BE A SLIGHT HOV NOT COMING TO MY FIRST WEDDING,” he added, possibly alluding to his storming onstage and stealing Taylor Swift’s moment at the 2009 VMAs.
His later posts also took aim at Jay-Z, who sometimes goes by ‘HOV,’ short for ‘HOVA,’ and Beyoncé’s decision to miss West’s wedding to Kim Kardashian in 2014.
West then slammed Jay-Z for ignoring several requests to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
“HIM PUTTING KENDRICK [Lamar] ON THE SUPERBOWL OVER ME OR EVEN US NEVER BEING INVITED TO S**T TAKING [sic] JABS ABOUT MY RED HAT ON DONDA.”
In 2019, Jay-Z signed a partnership with the NFL to produce the Super Bowl halftime performances. He also picked Kendrick Lamar to perform at the 2025 show.
The music mogul, who has been married to Beyoncé since 2008, has also been critical of West’s support of Donald Trump, who has become synonymous with his red “Make America Great Again” hats that West often wears.
“I FELT LIKE BOTH HIM AND HIS WIFE COULD HAVE HELPED ME HAVE MORE LEVERAGE WITH MY KIDS,” West went on. “THEY COULD HAVE USED THEIR CULTURAL POSITION TO NOT JUST WATCH THE KARDASHIANS RUN ME OVER.”
West later called out the couple for their lack of help in getting him “leverage” against his now-ex-wife in regards to their four kids: North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5.
“S**T HURTS SO F**K BOTH OF THEM CAUSE WHEN I NEEDED THEM IT WAS F**K ME,” he wrote.
West and Jay-Z previously boasted a close friendship for years, and even collaborated on the 2011 album Watch the Throne.
But the duo had a major falling-out in 2016 after West publicly criticised Jay-Z for not checking on his family after Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris.
