According to NBC News, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian struck a divorce deal on Tuesday. According to court filings, the rapper and fashion designer will pay his ex-wife $200,000 each month in child support.
Kanye, now known as Ye, married Kardashian, 42, in 2014. Kardashian, on the other hand, filed for divorce last year. The ex-couple has four children. In addition, the divorce settlement documents were filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
According to the filings, Kanye, 45, will begin making child support payments next month. The children of the former marriage are 9, 6, 4, and 3 years old. Their children’s custody will be shared equally between them. According to the documents, Kanye will also be required to pay half of their children’s private school tuition, college expenses, and medical and dental costs.
Kardashian claimed in her divorce filings that she suffered mental distress as a result of Kanye’s “misinformation” about their family on social media. However, Kanye denied her charges as well as the validity of their prenuptial agreement. According to court documents, the College Dropout rapper’s lawyer also labeled the misinformation allegation as “double hearsay” and said Kardashian couldn’t submit evidence to show her ex-husband wrote the posts.
Kardashian became “legally single” in March after a judge granted her permission to separate the divorce proceedings and sort out her legal name and marital status. The agreement reached on Tuesday concerned the former couple’s assets, finances, and custody arrangements.
Kanye and well-known white supremacist Nick Fuentes had dinner with former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort last week. HowAfrica stated that once the news of their encounter became public, Trump made a social media post claiming he had no idea who Fuentes was. He also claimed he had no idea the well-known white supremacist would be attending Kanye’s dinner.
The three met after Kanye was barred from Twitter and Instagram for posting anti-Semitic content. Elon Musk, the company’s new CEO, later reactivated his Twitter account.
The 45-year-old’s online rants and behavior have since cost him a lucrative contract with Adidas, causing him to lose his billionaire status. Kanye’s contract with Adidas accounted for $1.5 billion of his net worth, according to Forbes. However, according to the magazine, his current net worth is around $400 million, down from nearly $2 billion.
And besides Adidas, other companies including Gap and Balenciaga have also severed ties with him.
