Kim Kardashian has been going through it since her messy divorce from rapper Kanye West, and sources are now reporting that she is “considering” filing for sole custody of their four children due to his recent problematic incidents.

The Yeezy Founder has gotten into a lot of trouble on the internet, as he’s been making highly offensive statements and collaborating with controversial figures like Sean “Diddy” Combs. He also found himself in hot water when he went after Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children in an online rant. This kind of behavior has led to Kim allegedly wanting to protect her children further.

Kanye leaks text messages between him and Kim online

In what had already been a messy split between the reality star and musician, it's seemingly taken a turn for the worse. After the famous Hollywood duo officially divorced in 2022, they have been embroiled in a series of public disputes.

Last week, the rapper revealed Kim was not happy about their 11-year-old daughter, North West, allegedly being featured on his newly released track with Diddy, "Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine." The internet was shocked upon hearing one of his children on the song, considering Diddy is currently incarcerated and facing serious accusations, including trafficking.

Kanye then shared and quickly deleted photos of what he claimed were private text messages between him and his ex-wife, which revealed she had attempted to stop the release of the song. Kanye responded, "You're going to have to kill me."

This is not the first time the internet has witnessed a spat between the exes, and it looks like the KKW Beauty owner may be ready to take the next step.

Kim is reportedly 'considering' filing for sole custody

Sources close to the SKIMS founder shared with Us Weekly that she is "considering" filing for "full custody" of her four kids: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

"She is in a very tough position when she really has to co-parent with him," one source said.

As if co-parenting with an ex wasn't difficult enough, it's especially challenging when your family's life is constantly in the public eye. In the past, the American Horror Story actress has expressed the struggles she's faced since divorcing Kanye on The Kardashians and other platforms.

The West family was once a powerful unit, but now, Kim seems to be parenting solo.

Insiders say Kim is practically 'a single mom'

The news of the 44-year-old media mogul's potential custody battle doesn't come long after sources close to her family said that she is "pretty much a single mom," especially since her ex-husband is "not around much."

This doesn't come as much of a surprise to fans, as Kanye has been making headlines with his latest publicity stunts and increasing public appearances with his current wife, Australian architect Bianca Censori.

Although he currently still has shared custody of their children, Kim has seemingly been taking the lead and spending more time with them.

While the mother of four may be having a rough time dealing with her ex-husband, she appears to be handling it as best she can, continuing to share loving memories with her children while balancing her other projects.
