Kanye West Faces Backlash for Distasteful Joke About Kim Kardashian

New Delhi, India — Kanye West is once again embroiled in controversy following a crude joke about his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, shared in a recent alleged text message. The rapper reportedly sent the remark to DJ Akademiks, which was subsequently posted on Instagram, igniting widespread criticism for its inappropriate content.

In the text, West referenced Kardashian’s infamous 2009 sex tape involving Ray J, writing, “Me and Ray J need to hit Kim from both sides for that Superstar home video part 2. Only question is who’s gonna hit it first?” The comment drew sharp rebuke from the public as many question the rapper’s judgment and the depths of his humor.

Akademiks responded to West’s text, calling him “hilarious,” though many online have condemned the remarks as tasteless and disrespectful to Kardashian. The exchange comes shortly after West made headlines during an interview with Akademiks, where he wore a black Ku Klux Klan-style outfit and made disparaging comments about his family.

During the same conversation, West opened up about his feelings towards parenting, saying he “didn’t want to have children with [Kardashian]” after a couple of months of dating. The couple shares four children: North, 11; Saint, 9; Chicago, 7; and Psalm, 5. He expressed frustration over his lack of influence in their lives, stating, “I don’t got the name and likeness ownership, or at least 50-50 with my kids. My kids are celebrities and I don’t have a say.”

West’s remarks have raised alarms about his mental state and behavior, especially as he remains in the public eye after a series of offensive comments. Most recently, he has been criticized for directing hateful remarks toward Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children and continuing to share antisemitic rhetoric online.

The artist has yet to respond to the backlash stemming from this incident or the ongoing speculation regarding his personal life, including reports of tension with his new partner, Bianca Censori. Fans and critics alike are closely monitoring the evolving situation, especially as West’s controversial behavior shows no signs of abating.
