Kanye West Rants on Instagram Live That Kim Kardashian Relies on Nannies More Than Being a Mother

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, reportedly criticised Kim Kardashian's parenting and nanny use during an Instagram Live. SheFinds published the account on 30 August, but IBTimes UK has not independently verified the original broadcast.

The former couple's disagreements over parenting have repeatedly surfaced in public, with recent reports focusing on their eldest daughter, North West. West has reportedly objected to aspects of her styling and social media use. Kardashian, meanwhile, is said to want more help enforcing online rules.

Much of the latest dispute is documented through entertainment reports and anonymous sources rather than statements from either parent. Kardashian has not publicly responded to the specific nanny accusation cited in those reports.

Kanye West Reportedly Questions Kardashian's Use of Nannies

SheFinds reported that West opened the livestream by saying he was 'tired of pretending everything is fine.' He reportedly framed the broadcast as a discussion about co-parenting rather than his past relationship with Kardashian.

According to the report, West criticised Kardashian's lifestyle and claimed the family's home life was being shaped around cameras, work and constant movement. He then turned to the role of childcare staff.

'You depend on nannies more than you depend on being their mother every day,' West reportedly said.

He also said he was not opposed to employing nannies. His criticism, as reported by SheFinds, was that Kardashian used childcare support to avoid changing how she lived.

Those comments remain West's reported allegations, not independently established facts about Kardashian's parenting.

That distinction matters because the claim directly concerns Kardashian's relationship with her children. Repeating it without qualification would risk presenting one parent's criticism as verified fact.

West was also reported as criticising some of North's clothing choices. SheFinds quoted him as describing her styling as 'too grown' and 'too styled.'

'She's a child,' West reportedly said. 'Kids are supposed to look like kids.'

Those descriptions are West's reported words and should not be read as an independent assessment of North's appearance.

Kanye West Parenting Row Extends to Social Media Rules

Separate reports have suggested Kardashian wants West to take a more active role in setting social media boundaries for North. That account does not come directly from Kardashian.

SheFinds attributed the claim to an unnamed source speaking to In Touch. The source reportedly said Kardashian was 'very frustrated' because West was not helping enforce social media rules.

The same source claimed West remained unhappy that Kardashian had previously allowed North to use TikTok against his wishes. It characterised his current approach as more hands-off.

Neither Kardashian nor West has publicly confirmed those anonymous claims.

Showbiz Cheat Sheet later repeated the account but referred to the linked publication as 'She Knows.' The linked article was actually published by SheFinds, which attributed the information to In Touch.

Another SheFinds article claimed West had warned Kardashian about possible legal action over North's appearance. That report attributed the allegation to PopRant rather than a court filing, lawyer's statement or publicly authenticated message.

IBTimes UK has not identified a public filing or lawyer statement substantiating that claim. It should therefore not be read as evidence that litigation has begun.

The reported tensions have not prevented both parents from attending the same public events involving their daughter. Kardashian and West attended North's first headline concert in Chicago on 5 September. Footage showed them supporting her from different parts of The Vic Theatre.

Kardashian has not provided an on-record response to the specific nanny allegation.
