KIM Kardashian’s daughters, North and Chicago, have posed for a rare photo with their dad Kanye West after the rapper slammed their mother for her parenting decisions.
The trio was all smiles in the snap, posted to rap star Albe Back’s Instagram page on Wednesday.

In the pic, Kanye, donning an all-black sweat outfit, sat on the couch alongside Albe, with five-year-old Chicago sitting on his lap.
The youngster sported a pink Hello Kitty T-shirt, white pants, and her hair styled in double buns.
North, nine, jumped into the frame behind them, wearing a Yeezy T-shirt and her hair in a low ponytail.
Albe’s daughter, Kaity, also appeared in the snap, making a silly face at the camera next to North.
The photo was one of a slideshow Albe shared in honor of Kaity’s birthday, as he gave a shoutout to the preteen in the caption.
Kanye has seldom appeared on social media since going on numerous online rants over his ex-Kim’s parenting style.
Kim, 42, filed for divorce from the entertainer in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage.
Their divorce was finalized in November 2022, just weeks before Kanye secretly wed his new wife, Bianca Censori, 28.
Since their split, the exes have been navigating co-parenting their four children: daughters North and Chicago, and sons Saint, seven, and Psalm, three, but it has been far from easy.
Kanye has gone off on Kim multiple times, as they haven’t seen eye-to-eye on how to raise their kids.
KANYE’S RANT
In one incident last year, the hitmaker lashed out at Kim for letting North wear lipstick and post on TikTok.
In an interview on Hollywood Unlocked, the 45-year-old said: “Don’t have my daughter wearing lipstick on TikTok or don’t have her on TikTok at all if I’m not there to approve that.
“It was done without me knowing, and it happened again, so I feel like it’s poking the bear, trying to antagonize me or create this ‘crazy’ narrative.”
Kanye was referring to weeks earlier when North gave herself a holiday makeup makeover to look more like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and The Grinch.
Elsewhere in the interview, he claimed he was banned from Chicago’s birthday party and threatened “legal action” against his ex.
“I’ma tell you straight up, don’t play with my kids,” Kanye said on the show.
“Don’t play with my kids. Whoever y’all work for, whoever y’all think the family is working for, I’m telling you right now, don’t play with my children.
“And it’s going to be all legal. It’s going to be all legal, baby.”
He added: “You ain’t finna gaslight me. It’s going to be calm like this. But that’s not what we finna play.”
A source recently told The U.S. Sun that Kanye has a problem with how Kim approaches many aspects of parenting – especially regarding fashion.
The insider said: “He also feels like the kids are turning out like ‘mini Paris Hiltons’ with the way she dresses them now.”
Kanye also accused Kim of relying on nannies to care for their children.
PARENTING BACKLASH
Kim has also received backlash from critics recently over her parenting choices, with some believing she’s trying to “exploit” her children.
The comments came after photos captured Kim with her son Saint and his friends out in London earlier this month.
While the rain poured down on the mother-son duo, The Kardashians star showed off her white fur coat as Hulu’s camera crew followed them around.
Although the youngster was surrounded by his friends, eagle-eyed fans noticed Saint appeared upset during their stroll.
A critic mentioned: “Saint’s face doesn’t lie. She’s the worst.”
Another critic added: “It bugs me that after how exposed Saint is.
“Kim’s repeating the cycle with these kids. Protect those kids at all costs. They’re not a storyline.”
Fans made similar remarks about Kim regarding her treatment of her eldest child North.
The U.S. Sun recently revealed that Kim has been prepping North for her successful future as she filed four new trademarks in her daughter’s name on March 10, 2023.
While Kim appears to be just giving North a head start, many fans are interpreting her power moves as stripping her daughter of her childhood.
One fan judged: “Poor North. At 9 she should have the freedom to want to grow up to be an artist, a singer, an astronaut, a firewoman, an actress, anything.
“But her mother is so GD narcissistic she basically doomed & groomed her into becoming ‘the next Kim.'”
Another cosigned: “Imagine if they just let them be kids. Get them a trampoline or something.”
And a third fan raged: “Honestly sickening – just let her do what she wants she’s a human being with her own life.”
