Kanye West and Kim Kardashian continue to stir headlines as their post-divorce tensions escalate. The latest drama surrounds their eldest daughter, North West’s 13th birthday celebration. According to multiple sources, Kanye is reportedly furious over Kim’s extravagant spending, which he sees as excessive and inconsiderate, especially given his own financial struggles.
North's birthday was celebrated in true Kardashian style - complete with luxury gifts, an electric kids car, and even a private yacht party. Kim reportedly went all out, arranging a lavish trip to Mexico on a private jet for North and her friends. An insider revealed that Kim "spent hundreds of thousands on this celebration," which left Kanye feeling sidelined, both emotionally and financially.
“Kanye can't keep pace with Kim financially, and it drives him crazy. It's a blow to his pride—and a tug to his neck in legal bills,” a source close to the rapper shared. The insider also noted that North seems to idolize her mother more, which has further strained Kanye’s emotions. “North admires her dad, but she thinks her mom is better and richer. That's the painful reason he's so bitter and jealous.”

Ye’s frustrations are not entirely new. Since his split from Kim, Kanye has seen a significant downturn in his finances. Once a billionaire, his net worth plummeted from $1.5 billion to $400 million after being dropped by major partners like Adidas and losing several brand deals. These financial losses, coupled with legal battles and co-parenting challenges, have left the artist increasingly vulnerable.
Kanye, known for his outspoken nature, reportedly believes Kim is using her wealth to win their children's affection and present herself as the more capable parent. Friends of the rapper say he feels left out and disrespected, especially since he had no involvement in planning North’s milestone celebration.
Kim and Kanye finalized their divorce in November 2022 after a long and highly publicized legal battle. The former couple, married for nearly seven years, share four children—North (13), Saint (11), Chicago (9), and Psalm (7). While they’ve tried to co-parent peacefully, the growing rift between them appears far from healing.
