Kanye West has long been a controversial figure in the entertainment world, but accusations of infidelity during his marriage to Kim Kardashian added a new layer of drama to his public persona. Rumors circulated that West cheated on Kardashian with an “A-list singer” shortly after the birth of their second child, Saint West. An insider revealed, “Kanye cheated on Kim with an A-list singer.
At the time it happened, Kanye was mainly living in his bachelor pad in Hollywood because it was closer to his studio, and he wasn’t going to go home to Kim and his newborn baby when he’d been partying late in the studio.” According to Mirror, the alleged affair with a global star, a well-known household name, significantly strained Kardashian.
The insider explained, “Kim wasn’t feeling herself – the breastfeeding, the extra weight, the baby in the bedroom, the early morning exercise routines and juice diets – and Kanye was out late a lot. [Kim] was struggling and thought it was all because of how she looked – it put a lot of pressure on her at a time when she was at her most vulnerable… She blamed herself and vowed to ‘bounce back’ hotter than ever.”
The rumors of West’s infidelity gained traction following the release of his album Donda. One track, “Hurricane,” which features The Weeknd, contains lyrics that appear to allude to West’s unfaithfulness: “Here I go actin’ too rich / Here I go with a new chick / And I know what the truth is / Still playin’ after two kids / It’s a lot to digest when your life always movin’.”
However, sources clarified that the person West allegedly cheated with was not Russian supermodel Irina Shayk, with whom he was briefly linked after his split from Kardashian. Despite the rumors and public speculation, Kardashian has largely remained quiet about the specifics of their breakup. In an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she reflected on their split, saying, “I think it was just a general difference of opinions on a few things that led to this decision.
And like, in no way would I want someone to think that I didn’t give it my all, or not really try. You know, we have four kids. There’s nothing that I think parents would want more than to see, or even kids want more than to see their parents together… I will forever be Kanye’s biggest fan. He’s the father of my kids, Kanye will always be family,” as reported by The Sun.
West’s behavior during this period reportedly raised concerns among those close to him. Insiders claimed, “It was no secret among those who worked closely with Ye that he’d cheated after Saint was born. On his Saint Pablo Tour, he was flipping out in front of his team, confessing to sleeping with girls behind Kim’s back. He even said he’d been f***ing groupies and went into insane detail about his sex sessions. It was very graphic, and his language was unreal.
Those who know him well were sitting head in hands and laughing nervously, while crew members who had just joined the tour were left stunned.” The revelations painted a complex and troubling picture of West’s life during his marriage to Kardashian, highlighting the pressures and challenges that ultimately led to their high-profile split.
