Ye on Khloé Kardashian Allegedly Saying North West 'Looks So Grown Up': 'I Have to Dissociate'

The artist formerly known as Kanye West is again publicly taking issue with the Kardashians at large in connection with his and Kim’s oldest child together, North. In this particular instance, Ye, whose 2025 has thus far largely been defined by coverage of his Hitler and Nazism-related X posts, has opted to zero in on some alleged social media activity from Khloé Kardashian.

“It's difficult when you know [your] children are being indoctrinated and used,” Ye said on X when responding to a screenshot of an alleged post from Khloé in which the Good American co-founder appears to caption a photo of 11-year-old North with “North looks so grown up!” From there, Ye claimed he was now “in a place where I have to dissociate or go to jail,” reiterating his prior remarks asserting that no one is speaking up on his or his children’s behalf.

“Y’all watch these white and white-passing women run, use, indoctrinate, and traffic these Black kids and tell me ‘this is what I signed up for,’” he added, again echoing past unfounded claims he’s made about the family.

It wasn’t clear when or where the alleged Khloé post was shared, as it wasn’t immediately visible on any of her official accounts as of this writing. The account Ye was quoting in his X update is one associated with Akademiks, with whom he recently did an interview during which he donned KKK-style attire and a swastika pendant.

The latest North-focused grievance from Ye was preceded by X-shared praise for Will Smith (“one of my biggest inspirations”), support for Drake’s Theo Skudra-directed “Nokia” video, and confusion surrounding the logic of a fifth John Wick film starring Keanu Reeves.

Also this week, Ye theorized that listening to J. Cole’s music was unlikely after the losing of one’s virginity, as well as shared a Roots-repurposing video for a track titled “WW3.” In the previously released track’s lyrics, Ye asks, “They sayin’ I’m actin’ like Hitler/But how am I actin’ like Hitler, when I am a fucking n*****?” And later, he raps, “Readin' Mein Kampf, two chapters 'fore I go to sleep.”
