Reports concerning Kanye West allegedly sending a cease and desist letter to Kim Kardashian have been debunked. Initially, TMZ reported on May 9, 2025, that West’s legal team had issued the letter in connection with claimed violations of their custody arrangement regarding their children. This letter supposedly detailed complaints against Kardashian for allowing their daughter North to attend the Met Gala.
However, subsequent clarification from West’s representatives labeled the cease and desist memo as a hoax, indicating that the rapper was not involved with its creation. Despite TMZ’s earlier claims, Us Weekly was unable to confirm the existence of any legal filings.
In the midst of this turmoil, Kardashian has not commented on the alleged cease and desist and attended the Met Gala solo, though she did share moments with North in New York City. Kardashian expressed her joy in bringing her daughter to such events, highlighting the fun experiences they create together.
The history of co-parenting between Kardashian and West since their divorce has been fraught with tension. Kardashian has previously defended her parenting decisions in the face of West’s public critiques. She underscored the emotional challenges their children face amidst the publicized disagreements, emphasizing a desire to manage custody matters privately.
West has expressed frustrations over his perceived limited access to their children and criticized Kardashian for utilizing their kids for public events without his consent. He has called for regular access to see his children and has requested that Kardashian refrain from sharing images of them on social media.
This situation reflects the complexities often involved in high-profile co-parenting scenarios, where personal and public lives intersect in challenging ways. Despite the ongoing difficulties, both parents appear committed to their children’s welfare, and there remains hope that they will continue to improve their relationship for the sake of their children.
