A shock new twist has emerged in the drama between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, as the rapper is now claiming the fiery legal note he was reported to have sent her was in fact a ‘hoax.’
Earlier this Friday, a TMZ report alleged that Kanye had filed a cease and desist letter accusing the reality star of exploiting their four children.The 47-year-old Grammy winner has repeatedly clashed with Kim, 44, over co-parenting their kids—North, 11; Saint, 9; Chicago, 7; and Psalm, 5—claiming he’s being kept from spending time with them. Back in March, he sparked backlash with a string of tweets complaining that a ‘white woman’ was in control of his black children.
In his latest song, dropped Thursday, West upped the ante even further—rapping that his bitter custody battle with Kim is what ‘made him a Nazi.’ This Friday, TMZ reported that Kanye had sent off a cease and desist letter accusing Kim of ditching North in a parked car while she made her hentrance at the Met Gala.
Now, however, a spokesperson for Kanye has issued an astonishing statement saying the musician never issued such a letter, and that TMZ ‘fell for a hoax.’‘The letter is quite obviously fraudulent,’ the representative told Page Six. ‘TMZ didn’t ask for comment before running the story, and this morning, they finally emailed us with second thoughts, asking if it had been a “publicity stunt.” No. You fell for a hoax.’
Kanye was initially said to have had a lawyer called Kathy Johnson fire off a cease and desist letter to Kim’s powerhouse attorney Laura Wasser, writing that the note concerns ‘the welfare and custody of Mr. West’s minor children: North West, Saint West, Chicago West, and Psalm West,’ according to the initial report on TMZ.
DailyMail.com learned that Johnson claims to represent a law office based in Spain, which reportedly asserts it has jurisdiction in the United States —Daily Mail.
