usmagazine.com:

Sharing his feelings. Kanye West addressed his custody dispute with estranged wife Kim Kardashian in his new song, “True Love.”“When I think about it, my eyes fill up with water / Don’t have our daughters butterfly while they larvae,” the Weezy designer 44, raps on the track, which was released on Friday, May 27.

The line appears to be a reference to his public arguments with the Skims cofounder, 41, about allowing their eldest daughter, North, 9, to have a TikTok account.West’s verse continues: “Wait, when you see the kids?

I’ll see y’all tomorrow / Wait, when the sunset? I see y’all tomorrow / Wait, when I pick ’em up, I feel like they borrowed / When I gotta return them, scan ’em like a bar code.”In the song, which is a collaboration with controversial rapper XXXTENTACION, the Illinois native states that the “nannies” tell his children that “Daddy in Nebraska” and critiques the fact that they’ve been wearing Nike instead of Yeezy recently. “Let the kids dig a tunnel to my house like Chapo / Only neighbor in the hood with a door they can knock on / I leave the light on,” West continues, referring to the home he bought across the street from the KKW Beauty founder’s Calabasas mansion.“True love (daddy’s not gone) / Shouldn’t be this complicated (you see the light on) / Thought I’d die in your arms (daddy’s at home),” the chorus goes.In addition to North, the pair share son Saint, 6, daughter Chicago, 4, and son Psalm, 3.

Kardashian filed for divorce from the “Power” rapper in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage. Later that year, the businesswoman requested to be declared legally single and to restore her last name.
