A new twist has shaken the ongoing feud between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. The rapper, now 47, claims that a cease-and-desist letter reportedly sent to Kim was nothing but a hoax.
This revelation comes after reports suggested Kanye accused Kim of exploiting their four children and denying him access to them.
KANYE WEST’S ALLEGED LETTER
On Friday, TMZ reported that Kanye had sent a legal letter to Kim, alleging she left their daughter North unattended in a car during the Met Gala.
The letter also claimed Kim Kardashian ignored his objections to North’s presence on TikTok and denied him meaningful access to their children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
However, Kanye’s spokesperson quickly dismissed the report. “The letter is quite obviously fraudulent,” the representative told Page Six.
“TMZ didn’t ask for comment before running the story, and this morning, they finally emailed us with second thoughts, asking if it had been a ‘publicity stunt.’ No. You fell for a hoax.”
THE HOAX LETTER
The letter, supposedly written by a lawyer named Kathy Johnson, raised eyebrows, according to Daily Mail.
Johnson claimed to represent a Spanish law firm with jurisdiction in the United States. The listed phone number was out of service and previously belonged to a travel agency.
Furthermore, there was no evidence of the law firm’s existence in the US or Spain. The fake letter accused Kim of violating Kanye West’s parental rights and their divorce settlement.
It is alleged she left North alone in a vehicle at the Met Gala, continued to post images of their daughter on social media despite his objections, and restricted his access to their children.
KANYE WEST IN JAPAN
Yet, photos from January show Kanye with Saint, Chicago, and Psalm during a family trip to Japan, contradicting claims he hadn’t seen Saint this year.
Kim’s side responded with concern. “She’s horrified,” a source told the Daily Mail. “Like every time things get bad with Kanye, somehow they get worse.”
Kim has now increased security and advised her family not to share information about her children’s whereabouts online.
KANYE WEST’S CONTROVERSIAL SONG
The drama intensified with Kanye West’s latest song, “Heil Hitler (Hooligan Version),” released on VE Day, the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe.
The song contains highly offensive lyrics and references to his custody battle with Kim.
In it, Kanye raps, “With all of my money and fame, I still don’t get to see my children… So I became a Nazi, yeah, I’m the villain.”
Kanye West also referenced his relationship with his wife, Bianca Censori, and continued to make inflammatory statements online.
SOCIAL MEDIA CONTROVERSY
He has faced bans from social media platforms and criticism for his repeated praise of Adolf Hitler. His online store was even taken down after he tried to sell shirts featuring a swastika.
The reported hoax highlights the importance of verifying information, especially in the age of viral news.
The saga between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian continues, but this episode proves that not all headlines are what they seem.
