Kim Kardashian is "trying to protect her children's privacy" following Kanye West's vile rants on social media, according to a source.

The 47-year-old rapper was slammed after sharing posts in X in which he admitted to beating up women. Kanye also shared horrific comments about Beyoncé and Jay-Z's children and repeatedly voiced his support for Sean 'Diddy' Combs.

Kanye also accused his ex-wife of "controlling" their four children - North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm West. Amid the drama, a source has spoken out about Kanye's relationship with his kids and admitted Kim has been "alarmed" by the musician's recent behavior.

"North loves him. I can't speak for the other kids, but North is definitely Ye's girl. But it must be scary for Kim," the source confided.

Speaking about Kanye's vile anti-Semitic language, the source told Page Six, "Why would you expose your children to the swastikas? Kim won't want to expose her children to hate speech, just as kids can't be exposed to pornography… she's obviously alarmed."

The source said it "makes sense" that Kim is "nervous" about Kanye's recent actions. They added, "She's trying to protect their children's privacy." The Mirror US has approached Kim's representatives for comment.

Amid the drama, Kanye has even hit out at Kim on social media. In one rant, he said he wants to "protect" his children.

The musician wrote, "ITS TIME NOW THEY REALLY HAVE TO KILL ME AS A FATHER I WILL NO LONGER DISTRACT MYSELF FROM MY RESPONSIBILITY TO TRULY AND ACTUALLY PROTECT MY ACTUAL CHILDREN." He then revealed he is planning on fighting for full custody.

He also accused Kim and her family of "controlling" the children, including deciding what they watch, what they wear and where they go to school. During his rant, Kanye posted a picture of what he claimed to be his youngest daughter Chicago's phone screensaver. In the picture, she was posing in her pajamas.

"THIS IS ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS THAT I HAVE NO RIGHTS TO RAISE AND NEVER SEE LIKE WHEN I WASNT ALLOWED TO GO TO THE BIRTHDAY PARTY SO YES I’VE WANTED TO DIE AND YES ITS F--- KIM CARTI JAY Z WHOEVER AND WATCH I SHOW YOU THIS PICTURE AND YALL NOT BELIEVE ME," he posted alongside the snap.

He added, "AS A FATHER THIS MADE ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO SEE COUNTLESS PICTURES LIKE THIS OF MY CHILDREN PLACED INSIDE THEIR PHONES THIS WAS CHI’S SCREEN SAVER."

In another vile rant, Kanye took aim at Beyoncé and Jay-Z as he asked, "WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCES YOUNGER KIDS THEYRE R------D." He continued, "NO LIKE LITERALLY AND THIS IS WHY ARTIFICIAL INSEMANATION IS SUCH A BLESSING. HAVING R------D CHILDREN IS A CHOICE."

Kanye also declared that Jay-Z has "no power over me," as he refused to delete the posts. "AT LEAST JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ GET TO RAISE THEIR R------D ASS KIDS," he also fumed, seemingly hitting out at Kim once again.
