After his bold public shaming of Kim Kardashian on social media, Kanye West told her that “he’s going away to seek assistance.”
West — now known as Ye — has agreed to quit harassing his separated wife and cyberbullying her lover Pete Davidson, according to Kardashian family insiders.
Because of his troubling behavior, he was removed from Instagram for 24 hours last month, and his Grammy performance was canceled on Sunday.
“For the sake of the kids, Kanye has promised Kim he’s not making any public appearances or provocative social media posts, and he’ll go away somewhere to get better,” a source close to the Kardashians claimed.
West, 44, has stayed in Los Angeles to be with his and Kardashian’s four children, so it’s unclear if he plans to enter a rehab facility, according to the source.
“At this time, Ye is committed to a strong co-parenting relationship with Kim and is and focused on raising their beautiful children,” a spokesman for West told Page Six.
After relentlessly harassing Kardashian’s boyfriend, “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson, through his songs and on Instagram for weeks, there were concerns for West’s health.
In his song “Eazy,” he rapped about wanting to “kick Pete Davidson’s ass,” and he also made a disturbing music video in which a Claymation version of the comic was kidnapped and buried alive.
It got to the point where Kardashian, 41, had to publicly plead with West to cease his campaign because she was concerned for Davidson’s safety.
West had also been dragging Kardashian on Instagram, accusing her of preventing him from seeing their four children, North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2. “Please stop with this narrative, you were just here this morning bringing up the kids for school,” she wrote on social media in response to his claim.
After making a racial slur about Trevor Noah, who had called him out on “The Daily Show” for his violent behavior with Kardashian, West was eventually kicked off Instagram.
“Kim is literally the nicest mother I’ve ever met,” Davidson texted West after trying to remain silent throughout the experience. What she does for those kids is incredible, and you are really fortunate to have her as your children’s mother. I’ve decided that I’m not going to let you treat us like this any longer, and I’m no longer going to be quiet. “Grow the f**k up,” says the narrator.
Since October 2021, Davidson and Kardashian have been dating. In February 2021, she filed for divorce from West and was deemed legally single in early March. She also eliminated the “West” from her last name formally and legally.
In the midst of her pending divorce from West, Kardashian announced on Friday that she will be rebranding her KKW Fragrance line with a new name and website.
