Kim Kardashian may have already very publicly moved on with her romantic life, spending time with Pete Davidson, but according to her estranged husband Kanye West, their marriage isn’t actually over yet.
In a new interview for Revolt TV’s Drink Champs that was released on Thursday, but appeared to be filmed last month judging by the state of the rapper’s hair, West accuses Saturday Night Live of turning his marriage into the butt of a joke. “SNL making my wife say ‘I divorced him’ on TV because they just wanted to get that bar off. I never even seen the papers. We’re not even divorced,” he said, referring to the opening monologue Kardashian delivered while hosting the show in October. “They ain’t no joke to me. My kids want their parents to stay together. I want us to be together.”
The Grammy winner also blamed the Kardashians’ PR team for “promoting” the idea of divorce and getting in Kim’s “ear,” giving her ideas for storylines that would play well on her family’s new Hulu reality TV show, which these dates with Davidson are reportedly being filmed for. “There’s this publicist that’s nice to her,” West added. “I don’t fuck with her. I do not want over our house, and I don’t fuck with some of them nannies, either.”
The reality star filed for divorce from the rapper in February after seven years of marriage and four children together. Despite the split, the pair have managed to remain amicable, successfully navigating co-parenting their young children and easily divvying up their extensive assets. West is also still helping his estranged wife with her many personal and professional ventures, providing her with a Donda era-inspired Balenciaga wardrobe, creative directing the rebrand of her KKW Beauty business, as well as preparing her for her SNL hosting duties, although clearly he didn’t get final approval over the script.
