“Divorce not Kim’s idea, Kanye’s been wanting out for over a year”

“It was him saying for a year that they have nothing in common except the kids and he wanted out.”

Popular American rapper Kanye West is reportedly unhappy that many people assume that his divorce with Kim Kardashian was her idea.

A source close to the rapper said he is “super annoyed” that the story is being constantly presented as her divorcing him, “when actually he asked for a divorce a year ago.”

This comes after two months of Kim filing for divorce and a week after Kanye demanded for joint custody.

“It was him saying for a year that they have nothing in common except the kids and he wanted out. She pulled all the stops to try to save the marriage,” the source added.

“I’ve been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Waldorf for ‘prison reform’. Meek is my man and was respectful … That’s my dog, Kim was out of line,” Kanye said.

Although the vocal rap star made mention of a possible divorce on his Twitter in July 2020, Kim eventually filed for a divorce early this year.

It was reported that Kanye let Kim first file for a divorce “in order to give her dignity.”
