Beyonce and Jay-Z are “discussing” taking legal action against Kanye West following his “vulgar and offensive” attack on their two youngest children.
The superstar couple reportedly find it “shocking” that West would post offensive comments about their seven-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir.
A source told the New York Post that the couple “will absolutely not stand for it” after West “has spoken about their children in such a vulgar and offensive manner” and are considering their legal options.
“Jay-Z and Beyoncé are aware of the posts Kanye has since deleted and are discussing how they want to handle this situation, whether that be privately and/or in a legal matter,” the source told the outlet.
The pair — who married in April 2008 — “have no plans on publicly addressing Kanye’s posts about their children”
West called Rumi and Sir “r*****ed” before deleting the unprovoked post — only to reshare it the following day.
However, West clarified that he had not wiped the hateful upload in order to be “a good person.
Instead, West wrote, “I need everyone to know that I took the post about Jay Z and Beyoncé’s family down … because there was a possibility of my Twitter being cancelled [sic].”
West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian is reportedly considering filing for sole custody of the couple’s four children, and is “appalled” that he “would use that kind of language about anybody, let alone when it comes to children,” a source told the New York Post.
“Kim has had enough and she’s done trying to be reasonable with Kanye when it comes to communication.”
Kardashian thinks West’s posts are “shocking and offensive” and feels “no matter what feud Kanye has going on with Jay and Beyoncé, kids are off limits”.
Kardashian and West currently share legal and physical custody of their four kids, though they nearly always live with their mother.
Kardashian has always allowed North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5, to see their father, as long as her security and nannies were present.
“Kim wants to underline the point that she has never not allowed Kanye to have the kids and to be their father,” a source told The Sun.
“No one is preventing him – he’s the one who chooses to live in Tokyo much of the time.
“She would love nothing more than to see him take an active interest in parenting all four kids.”
He also has the power to make decisions on their behalf, a source confirmed – but that could all soon change.
Though West has always made controversial decisions, like showing instructing Australian wife Bianca Censori to wear a transparent dress on the Grammys red carpet last month, his recent actions have gone too far, the source claimed.
Not only has he praised Adolph Hitler and made antisemitic comments, but he used North’s vocals on a new song with his old friend Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently in jail on sex trafficking charges.
According to TMZ, West then invited Andrew and Tristan Tate, who have been charged with human trafficking in Romania, to hang out while North was with him. (A worried Kardashian reportedly then pulled her oldest daughter home after being tipped off by her security team.)
This week, West made unfounded allegations of Kardashian being a “sex worker” and “sex trafficker”.
In a bizarre twist, West then announced he was going to fight for full custody of his kids, though he reportedly rarely sees them.
“Kim is horrified, but she’s not surprised,” the source explained about Kanye’s recent behaviours.
“He’s just digging his own grave here. He’s showing that he is not fit to be a legal parent, nor has the mental capacity to have custody of children. Kim and her high-powered lawyers are now ‘taking action,’” the source said.
“Her team is in crisis mode. The plan is to lodge something with the court this week and using the fact that Kanye stated his plans to seek full custody of the kids.
“The plan is to question whether he is ‘mentally fit’ to do so, and then get the ball rolling.
“It’s a pretty fast-moving situation. Kim is determined to get Kanye and his threats removed from her life, she says she can’t live like this anymore.
“So despite her fears and worries over it, she knows it’s her only course of action to protect her and her children.”
Kardashian has not publicly commented on West’s behaviour.
The couple split in 2021 and Kardashian has been the target of his rants on and off ever since.
Before their divorce, she told the public West had bipolar disorder.
“Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand,” she said in 2020.
West has claimed he was misdiagnosed with the disorder.
He is now married to Melbourne-born Censori but the couple has not been seen together in weeks.
West has been living in a Los Angeles hotel despite recently purchasing a A$55 million Beverly Hills estate.
Before relocating back to LA, he lived in Tokyo for months, rarely seeing his children during this time, The Sun previously reported.
