Kanye West is unveiling the muse behind his forthcoming album title in an intriguing revelation. The 47-year-old rapper, known for his hit "Carnival," recently engaged in an insightful conversation with fellow rapper Justin Laboy, 33, delving into the details of his upcoming album, his creative journey, and more. During this enlightening interview, West disclosed how his 9-year-old son Saint, whom he shares with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 44, served as the inspiration for the project's title.
"My son [Saint] was playing with another child when he suddenly kicked him," West recounted to Laboy. "When I inquired why he did it, he responded, 'Because he's weak.' I thought to myself, 'This kid is truly a little bully.'"
Scheduled for release on his daughter North's birthday, this album marks West's first release in over three years. Throughout his decade-long relationship with Kardashian, the couple welcomed four children together: Psalm, 5, Chicago, 7, Saint, and North, 11.
Kardashian, the co-founder of SKIMS, has been candid about her co-parenting journey with West. In an interview with Vogue in February 2022, she advised, "Always be your co-parent's biggest supporter, regardless of your personal struggles."
Despite their separation, West maintains a strong bond with his children. In September, the 47-year-old rapper hosted a listening party for his album Vultures 2 at the Wuyuan River Sports Stadium in Hainan, China. Midway through his performance, the proud father of four invited his children to join him on stage to perform their song "Everybody."
Footage shared on X (formerly Twitter) captured the heartwarming moment as the kids walked onto the stage hand-in-hand, excitedly waving to the eager crowd. They shared the spotlight with their dad for the entirety of the song, creating an unforgettable memory.
Recently, North also revealed that her father, the "Famous" rapper, influences her fashion sense. In an interview with her mother for Interview Magazine's cover story, published in October, the budding superstar expressed, "I adore streetwear and '90s fashion. Tyler, the Creator, my dad, and me – we're a fashion-forward trio!"
