Keeping up with Kanye: Rapper parties in Miami while divorce battle with Kim rages on
Kanye West isn’t letting a little thing like a nasty divorce get in the way of his partying.
The rapper has been all over Miami, ever since Tuesday night when he held a listening event for his latest album “Donda 2” at LoanDepot Park.
Kanye being Kanye, he’s been not only raising the roof, but raising eyebrows.
Joining the “Jesus Walks” singer up on stage was Marilyn Manson, who is facing multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and the subject of a damning HBO documentary “Phoenix Rising.”
Also in the house: DaBaby, who was very nearly canceled after shockingly homophobic comments at Rolling Loud in Miami Gardens last year.
Manson has continually denied the allegations and DaBaby promised to do better, but still why would West, especially with his current situation with Kim Kardashian, want to collaborate with such controversial figures?
West wasn’t done there. The designing mogul was photographed leaving the downtown arena with his four sleepy young kids in tow at around 1 a.m. Sources tell Page Six that he at least had the good sense to ditch the after party at Miami Beach hotspot du jour, Club XXIII.
After a night’s sleep and perhaps a twinge of FOMO, West was back out there on the circuit the next night, attending Floyd Mayweather’s 45th birthday at SushiFly Chicken.
It’s unclear if West’s latest love interest, Chaney Jones, was along for the ride. The model is a dead ringer for his estranged wife and one of the many women West has been hanging with since the Skims founder filed for divorce last February.
On New Year’s Eve in the Magic City, the Chicago native was looking hot and heavy with “Uncut Gems” actress Julia Fox.
But that was then and this is now. And in Kanye’s world, things sometimes hit a bit different.
One good thing came out of all this activity: We were not privy to any disparaging posts about Kardashian or her family or friends since he arrived.
All that changed on Thursday though, with a cryptic quote about his ex’s love interest, SNL star Pete Davidson, whom West refers to as “Skete.” The comic rejoined Instagram recently after a long hiatus but promptly quit.
“Ran Skete off the ‘Gram,” said West’s latest Insta with a screenshot of the defunct account. “Tell your mother I changed your name for life.”
Sigh. It was looking so calm for awhile there.
In a new petition, Kardashian says she very much wants to be single.
“I have asked Kanye to keep our divorce private, but he has not done so,” the 40 year old says in new court documents, obtained by Yahoo Entertainment. “Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private family matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress. I believe that the court terminating our marital status will help Kanye to accept that our marital relationship is over and to move forward on a better path which will assist us in peacefully co-parenting our children.”
