CHRONIC complainer Kanye West has savaged ex-wife Kim Kardashian AGAIN in his latest single, “True Love.” The relentless rapper’s lyrics suggest he only gets to “borrow” his kids when he sees them and that they lack good care and proper clothing when he’s not around! In one verse, he laments: “When I gotta return them, scan’em like a bar code / Wait, no hard feelings, but these feelings hard though.” And in another, he questions: “I only see three kids, who watchin’ Chicago?” Kanye, 44, and Kim, 41, were married for seven years and she has publicly wearied of his repeated attacks on her and her family since she filed for divorce in February 2021.

Now insiders report some of the 63-year-old’s much-younger lovers are spreading the word they were little more than props for the increasingly geriatric and immaterial girl!
