Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, dived headfirst into his Drink Champs interview with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, and as expected, he had a lot of headline-worthy tea to spill.
The name-droppin’ Donda Don Dada dished about everything from his nomadic lifestyle, his beef with Drake, spoiled friendships with Big Sean and John Legend, and his patchy haircut. However, the most notable and vulnerable conversation was about his impending divorce from Kim Kardashian.
In his first interview since his Donda drop, Ye publicly addressed his estranged marriage to Kim for the very first time. While speaking candidly about his relationship with the Skims founder, Ye said “she’s still my wife” and “I want us to be together”—emphasizing that there “ain’t no paperwork” regarding a divorce. He also slammed Saturday Night Live for “making” Kim say she divorced him.
“SNL making my wife say ‘I divorced him’ because they just wanted to get that bar off, and I ain’t never even seen the papers, we’re not even divorced,” Ye shared—adding “That ain’t no joke to me. My kids want their parents to stay together. I want us to be together.”
With Kim K. supporting Ye during his Donda release and him returning the favor by preparing her for SNL, rumors of a reconciliation have been running rampant. However, sources say that Kim, who is nothing more than a friend to Kanye at this time, is still moving forward with the divorce, People reported last month. The source’s claim supports the most recent update in their divorce proceedings where Kim bought their Hidden Hills Estate for a buyout price of $23 million. Additionally, Kim was spotted holding hands with SNL star Pete Davidson during the Halloween weekend, and most recently, having a private dinner with him in NYC.
