Controversial rapper Kanye West lost and temper and ranted about not having the custody of his children with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. The rapper, in a complete black mask that covered his face, ranted about not having custody of the four children he shares with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian in an explosive new livestream.Kanye has publicly clashed with Kim about the co-parenting of their 11-year-old daughter, North. On Wednesday, West vented about not seeing her, as well as his three younger kids - daughter Chicago, seven; and sons Saint, nine, and Psalm, five."F*** all these f***** n*****,' said West, who was recently banned from Twitch. 'I'mma go get these kids, bro. I'm talking to the lawyers - it gets to the point where I don't lose my f***in' mind where I got to get used to not seeing my kids," the Carnival rapper exclaimed as he angrily threw his hands around."[DJ] Akademiks put that battery in my back, bro. 'Cause I was in the airport by myself … I'mma go get these kids, man!' Kanye wasn't alone during the livestream as there was a man sat behind him with headphones on.In his rant, West said, 'Why you got all these Black kids that are just sitting there at school ... trying to jump up and down for McDonald's, n*****. Kanye is no stranger to voicing his grievances with his and his ex-wife's current custody arrangement over the last few months.Earlier this year, West has gone on and on about his feud with the 'Kardashian Mob' about restricting his rights to visit the kids or collaborate with them, calling the current situation 'visitation' in 'jail'.'I DONT WANT TO JUST 'SEE' MY KIDS. I NEED TO RAISE THEM. I NEED TO HAVE SAY SO OF WEAR THEY GO TO SCHOOL AND WHO THEIR FRIENDS ARE AND WHOS HOUSES THEY SLEEP OVER WEATHER MY DAUGHTERS WEAR LIPSTICK AND PERFUME,' the rapper wrote in the now-deleted tweet back then. 'ALL THESE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME BY THE KARDASHIAN MOB HULU AND DISNEY AND THE BIGGER AGENDA TO USE THE SELECTIVELY BRED BLACK CHILDREN TO BE PLATFORMS TO INFLUENCE BLACK PEOPLE,' West claimed about the Kardashian family.West, who recently returned from Japan, has been working on new music as of late and corresponding with his fans on social media about the upcoming slate of releases. West previously posted a series of tweets March 19 in which he said that he was put off by a white woman being in control of his Black children.He also rankled Kim a year before their split when he revealed that he and the socialite had once broached the comment of getting an abortion when she was pregnant with North.Additionally, Kanye called out several high-profile figures—Hollywood celebrities like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Elon Musk, and even President Donald Trump—questioning why they were silently watching as Kim allegedly kept him from his children.'Y'all wanna say I'm acting out because of my childhood,' he tweeted, 'but I don't even get to be a dad.' He also claimed he hadn't seen his older son, Saint, at all that year. However, photos obtained by Page Six contradicted that statement, showing Kanye and Saint shopping at a convenience store. The sighting occurred around the time Kanye traveled to Japan, reportedly because he didn't feel safe after posting anti-Semitic and Nazi-sympathizing tweets.

Top 5 father-child duos who made WWE history
Image via WWE Pro wrestling has always been more than just athleticism and storylines, it's often a family tradition passed from generation to generation. Over the decades, WWE has seen numerous father-child duos create iconic moments in the squared circle, blending legacy, drama, and unforgettable action. Here are five such pairings who left a lasting impact on the company's history. 1. Rey Mysterio & Dominik Mysterio Rey Mysterio, one of WWE's most decorated luchadors, made history when he and his son Dominik became the first father-son duo to win the WWE Tag Team Championships. Their bond turned into rivalry when Dominik shockingly betrayed Rey, leading to a gripping WrestleMania 39 showdown. In 2025, Dominik further etched his name in WWE history by winning the Intercontinental Championship - 16 years after his father first did the same. Their emotionally charged journey continues to captivate fans across generations. 2. Dusty Rhodes & Cody Rhodes Dusty Rhodes was a beloved figure in professional wrestling, known for his passionate promos and underdog spirit. His son, Cody Rhodes, carved his own path - starting with a turbulent WWE run and later returning to headline WrestleMania. Cody's rise to main-event status feels like the continuation of Dusty's legacy, especially with emotional tributes and unfinished business finally addressed in the ring. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo 3. Vince McMahon & Shane McMahon As the architect behind WWE's global empire, Vince McMahon didn't just run the show - he became part of it. His son, Shane McMahon, brought an unorthodox, risk-taking style to the ring, often clashing with his father in brutal, storyline-defining matches. Their on-screen drama blurred the lines between fiction and reality, especially during the Attitude Era and Shane's 2016 return. 4. Ric Flair & Charlotte Flair Ric Flair is a 16-time world champion and arguably the greatest wrestler of his era. His daughter Charlotte has followed suit, dominating the women's division with multiple championship reigns. Together, they've shared emotional promos and legacy-defining moments, cementing the Flair name as one of WWE's most powerful dynasties. 5. Rocky Johnson & The Rock Before Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson became a Hollywood icon, his father Rocky Johnson was already breaking barriers in WWE. As one-half of WWE's first Black tag team champions, Rocky laid the foundation. The Rock took the family legacy to new heights, combining charisma and in-ring prowess to become one of the most celebrated figures in wrestling history. These father-child duos have not only created history inside the ring but also carried forward wrestling's rich heritage, proving that sometimes, greatness runs in the family.
