In the current season of “The Kardashians,” Kim Kardashian revealed her decision to hire a “manny” to provide a stronger male presence in her household. This decision seems to have added to the ongoing tension between Kanye West and Kim. In Rich The Kid’s new track “Gimme A Second 2,” featuring Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, Kanye directly addresses this issue in his verse. He criticizes Kim for hiring a male nanny. “My oldest said, ‘Daddy not going to Heaven,’” Kanye raps. “Treat me like a deadbeat, said I wasn’t present / They was tryna treat a king like a peasant / They bought my son a new dad like it’s no headache / Don’t give a f**k about s**t, I’m irreverent.”
Kim explained her reasoning on the show. She stated, “I do think that my household, and even in our family, it’s very female-dominated,” she said. “I recently hired a manny, I really wanted a male around that was going to be picking them up and taking them to sports. I was scared out of my mind to tell their dad that.” Despite her initial fears, Kanye’s reaction was not as negative as expected.
Kim shared an encounter where Kanye met the “manny.” “When he was dropping off the kids, Kanye introduced himself. Played two-on-two with Saint and him, has been so nice to him,” she revealed. Kanye even offered some parenting advice: “Hey, if you’re going to help raise my son – because he handed him the ball really easily – don’t do that, make him go get it himself. These are some of the rules that I would want.” This interaction shows Kanye’s willingness to engage, though it is tinged with underlying jealousy and control.
Meanwhile, Kanye is navigating a tumultuous period. He’s dealing with a sexual harassment lawsuit and his relationship with his wife, Bianca Censori. The dynamic between Kim and Kanye remains complex. It will be interesting to see if these changes bring more conflict or lead to a more peaceful co-parenting situation. Our best hopes are for the latter.
