Khloé Kardashianis speaking out in defense of her sister.
In her comment, Khloé addressed the controversy around niece Chicago’s fourth birthday —a joint birthday party with cousin Stormi Webster— earlier this year, which the rapper has repeatedly claimed exKim Kardashiandid not invite him to.
“Ye, I love you. I don’t want to do this on social media but YOU keep bringing it here. You are the father of my nieces and nephews and I’m trying to be respectful but please STOP tearing Kimberly down and using our family when you want to deflect,” the Good American founder wrote.
Noting that “everyone’s tired” of the birthday narrative, Khloe added, “Enough already. We all know the truth.”

“You know exactly where your children are at all times and YOU wanted separate birthdays. I have seen all of the texts to prove it. And when you changed your mind and wanted to attend, you came,” she wrote.
“Like you have pointed out yourself, she is the one taking care of your kids80% of the time,” Khloé continued. “Please leave her and the family out of it so that the kids can be raised peacefully. 🙏🏽 I come from a place of love and I am happy to continue this conversation privately if you wish 🤍”
At the time of West’s initial claims about the birthday party, a source told PEOPLE he is “always welcome and does come to family events.”
The Yeezy founder posted a screenshot of Khloé’s comment and responded, “You are lying and are liars.”
In his all caps reply, he said that the Kardashians “basically kidnapped Chicago on her birthday so she could remember her father not being there.”
He alsoreiterated his previous claimthatKylie Jenner’s boyfriend,Travis Scott, was the one to share the party’s location with him, noting, “that’s how y’all play with black fathers.”
“Also I should see my children 100% of the time, but since there’s a separation it should have been 50% of the time,” he concluded, adding, “Y’all wouldn’t have played with Donda like that, in Jesus name.”
