KEY POINTS

  • Kanye West said he knows how the British feel because he "lost my queen too"
  • West made the apparent comparison between Kim Kardashian and the Queen just days after he apologized to his ex
  • He said in an interview with "Good Morning America" that he is sorry for the pain he caused Kardashian

Kanye West seemingly hinted that he is mourning his ongoing divorce from ex Kim Kardashian.

In a post on his Instagram Story Sunday, the "Donda" artist, 45, appeared to make a royal comparison between how his marriage with Kardashian ended and the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

"LONDON I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL," West wrote in an all-caps message, according to Us Weekly. "I LOST MY QUEEN TOO."

The Yeezy founder has been open about his feelings amid his split from Kardashian, 41, who filed for divorce in February 2021 after six years of marriage. They share four kids — North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3.

After she began dating Pete Davidson in October last year, West made several digs at Kardashian and the "Saturday Night Live" alum on social media and in interviews but also expressed how much he wishes to get back together with the Skims founder. Kardashian and Davidson called it quits in August after nine months of dating.

Kardashian addressed the "Gold Digger" rapper's attacks on her earlier this year. She admitted that West's "constant need [to] attack ... me in interviews and on social media" was "hurtful."

"Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye's obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all," she said in a statement in March.

Davidson, who was a constant subject of West's ire online for several months, has reportedly been in "trauma therapy" due to the rapper's online harassment. He reportedly sought help for his mental health in the past months when he was still with Kardashian.

"The attention and negativity coming from Kanye and his antics is a trigger for [Pete], and he's had to seek out help," an unnamed insider told People.

On Wednesday, four days before West made the comparison of his ex to the late monarch, he showed remorse for the pain he caused Kardashian in a sneak peek of his "Good Morning America" interview.

"This is the mother of my children, and I apologize for any stress that I have caused, even in my frustration, because God calls me to be stronger," he said, according to Us Weekly. "I need this person to be less stressed and of the best, sound mind and as calm as possible to be able to raise those children."

Earlier this month, West also shared how Queen Elizabeth's death had inspired him to let go of negativity.

"Life is precious," West captioned his since-deleted Instagram post of the Queen, which he shared a day after the British monarch passed away on Sept. 8. "Releasing all grudges today. Leaning into the light."

Kardashian, for her part, also paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. "Rest in Peace," she wrote on her Instagram Story at the time.
