Kanye West claims he hasn’t seen son Saint ‘this year’ — despite being photographed together in January – Page Six
2025-04-22T14:24:00Z
The rapper previously compared “seeing” his four kids — North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5 — to having “visitation” in jail.
Kanye West claims he hasn’t seen son Saint at all “this year” — despite Page Six obtaining photos of them together in January.
The rapper-turned-fashion designer, 47, made the allegations on X (formerly Twitter) Tuesday morning without providing any further explanation.
In the January snapshots, West and his three youngest children could be seen shopping at a 7-Eleven store in Tokyo’s Ginza district.
His tweet came amid a flurry of similar statements where West claimed he was trying to get “the right” lawyer to fight the mother of his four children, Kim Kardashian, for custody.

In one tweet, West — who now goes by Ye — even questioned why celebrities like Beyoncé, Jay Z, Rihanna, Elon Musk and President Trump are “all watching and letting Kim take [his] kids from [him] in real time.”
“Yall wanna say I’m acting out cause of things in my childhood, But I don’t get to be a dad,” he said in part.
“You guys can make a difference. I’m f–king shaking typing this I’ve had my rights stripped because I wore a f–king red hat,” he added, referencing the “Make America Great Again” cap he publicly sported in support of Trump.
He also stated that he doesn’t “need to just ‘SEE’ [his] kids,” but that he needs the chance to “raise them,” mentioning that he’s a “good dad” and a “great father to have.”

The “Heartless” rapper followed up with yet another tweet, saying, “I HAVE TO SUPPRESS THE FACT THAT MY KIDS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME AND EVERYONE JUST WATCHES.”
“I need a plan to exercise my rights with my kids,” he said in a separate statement.
West made similar allegations against the Skims founder in March when he tweeted that he has “beef with people that froze [his] account took [his] kids away and tried to put [him] in jail AND ITS STUCK.”
The “All Falls Down” rapper then compared “seeing” his four kids — North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5 — to having “visitation” in jail.

The former couple — who got married in 2014 before splitting in 2021 — kickstarted their feud once again after West featured their eldest daughter in a song with disgraced rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs against Kardashian’s wishes.
The Skims founder called an emergency meeting with a mediator and a judge to stop her ex-husband from releasing the song. West still went through with dropping the track, however, after initially saying he wouldn’t.
After that, West seemed to upset Kardashian even more when he planned to host the Tate brothers, Andrew and Tristan, at his home while North was visiting him.
The “Kardashians” star was forced to end North’s visit with her dad early when she found out that the brothers — who were arrested in Romania in 2022 and later charged with creating a criminal organization to sexually exploit women — were on their way.

A source told Page Six at the time, “Kim’s priority is the well-being and safety of her children and to protect them from being around Kanye’s controversial behavior.”
Since then, Kardashian, 44, has contemplated changing her custody agreement with West, per TMZ.
The exes previously agreed to share joint physical and legal custody of the kids when they settled their divorce in 2022.
Despite his battle for his kids, West previously made headlines when he said, “I didn’t want to have children with this person after the first two months of being with them, but that wasn’t God’s plan.”
