Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's feud over their daughter's TikTok use has gotten more intense.
The "Heartless" rapper, 44, called out his ex for still allowing their 8-year-old daughter, North, to use TikTok despite his opposition. In a since-deleted video on Instagram West shared early Sunday, he pleaded with the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" alum to stop tormenting him by allowing their daughter to be present on the video-sharing platform.
"I just got off the phone with Kim," the Yeezy designer was quoted by Us Weekly as saying. "I told her to stop antagonizing me with this TikTok thing. I said, 'It's never again.' I am her father. I know y'all don't respect fathers and the idea of family and the media tries to promote something. I said I am not allowing my daughter to be used by TikTok, by Disney. I have a say-so."
The "Donda" artist — who now goes by Ye — continued, "And when people say, 'they're gonna use this [against] you in court,' I didn't even have a say-so whether or not they went to Sierra Canyon" referencing to his children's elementary school. "Most men do not — there's no such thing has [sic] 50-50 custody in society today. It always leans toward the mom."
The Grammy winner also mentioned that "men in that community," including NBA player Tristan Thompson, who shares 3-year-old daughter True with Khloe Kardashian, do not have custody or chance to weigh in on their kids' schooling.
"I don't have custody, I had to fight to have my kids not on TikTok," West said in another since-deleted Instagram video, per Us Weekly. "It's always been a gang. It's like we've never had Christmas anyplace else other than one location," he continued, referring to his mother-in-law Kris Jenner's annual holiday parties.
West has been consistent in his stand against allowing North to be on TikTok. In an interview with "Hollywood Unlocked" in January, he said, "My children ain't going to be on TikTok without my permission."
Kardashian has been supportive of their daughter's interest to have a social media presence on the platform. In a previous post on her Instagram Story, Kardashian said that as the "main provider and caregiver" of their children, she was allowing them to express their creativity in the medium they prefer "with adult supervision."
Kardashian's boyfriend, Pete Davidson, defended her by texting West shortly after he uploaded his Instagram videos on Sunday. The comedian told the rapper he should feel "lucky" for having Kardashian as the mom of his kids. He also warned the "Donda" rapper that "I'm done being quiet" before urging him to "grow the f--k up."
