It emerged in February 2021 that Kim Kardashian, star of the eponymous show Keeping Up With The Kardashians and founder of shapewear brand Skims, and rapper Kanye West were going to end their marriage of eight years. The celebrity couple, who got married in 2014 and share four children together, shocked their fans with the news. Given that the two were known for publicly supporting one another in their business ventures and media engagements and would pack on the PDA at red carpet events, the news came as a surprise to most people.

Here’s all you need to know about the Kim and Kanye divorce drama.

Why are Kim and Kanye getting divorced?

Kim hinted at the reasons for their divorce on her show. Apparently, with Kanye constantly on the road, Kim feels like she can’t sustain a healthy relationship with her husband.

In a conversation with her mother, Kris Jenner, on KUWTK, Kim disclosed why she wanted to separate from Kanye. The reality TV star felt that separating from her husband was something she had to do for her own happiness, even though getting divorced for the third time makes her feel like a “loser.”

In 2020, Kim had taken to Instagram to address her husband’s bipolar disorder that apparently induces him to talk incoherently at times. Kanye has made a number of rambling, inflammatory, and erratic statements over the past years, such as his comment that ‘slavery was a choice.’

Everything Kanye has said about Kim since the divorce announcement

Kanye has accused Kim of trying to ’kidnap’ their daughter Chicago. He has also threatened her current boyfriend, comedian, and SNL host Pete Davidson in a song, accusing him of coming between ‘a man and his kids’. Fans accuse Kanye of being ‘toxic’ and ‘abusive’ towards his estranged wife.

The bottom line is, even though the divorce has been announced, Kanye is continuing to berate his ex-wife on social media and lash out at her in public. As someone who has a fan following of millions, many worry that he may be encouraging this kind of volatile behavior.
