Kanye West peered out through the tiny eye slits of his KKK costume while wearing the robes and pointed hat usually associated with white supremacist organisation the Ku Klux Klan. It was the latest in a series of shocking stunts by the American rapper, who accessorised his sick outfit with a bejewelled swastika necklace - a chilling symbol of Nazi Germany. Kanye, who previously caused outrage by suggesting that slavery was "a choice", and making anti-Semitic slurs against Jews which saw his social media accounts suspended, also spoke disparagingly of model ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

Talking to podcaster DJ Akademiks, Kanye spoke of his regret over having four children with Kim, claiming that he now has "no say-so" in their upbringing. He claimed: "That was my fault. I didn't want to have children with this person after the first two months of being with her, but that wasn't God's plan." He also griped that his kids were the only "brand" that he had no control over, suggesting he should be awarded "at least fifty-fifty with [them]". Kim had reportedly taken emergency legal action when she discovered that their eldest child, daughter North West, had contributed vocals to a track featuring controversial Sean Diddy Coombs while in Kanye's care.

Diddy is currently in jail awaiting trial on rape and sex trafficking charges, something which he vehemently denies, while video footage also previously surfaced of him appearing to violently beat ex-girlfriend Cassie. Kanye angrily fired back in his latest interview about Kim contesting the track, arguing: "My kids are celebrities and I don't have the say so.

"This white woman and this white family have the control of these highly influential black kids that are half the children of Ye."

In texts leaked to the media, Kim allegedly told Kanye that she'd tried to put a stop to North's vocals being on the new track with Coombs to "protect" her.

She also reportedly whisked North away after discovering that controversial social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate were visiting Kanye while she was present.

The brothers have been charged with sex trafficking offences in Romania, but continue to deny all allegations against them.

While Kim has protested over North's voice being used for 'Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunshine', which also features the voices of Coombs and his son Christian "King", Kanye is disgruntled over Kim arranging for her to participate in FKA Twigs' 'Childlike Things'.

Her cameo on the latter sees her speaking Japanese, but Kanye has argued that the video is inappropriate as it depicts the 11-year-old "dressing all grown".

Meanwhile, Kim is reportedly "terrified" of what Kanye, who has previously been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and autism, could say and do next.

He previously caused indignation by tweeting that he was a "Nazi" who "loves Hitler".
