Kim Kardashian’s over-the-top celebration for daughter North West’s 12th birthday has reignited a bitter feud with ex-husband Kanye West, who believes the reality star is deliberately using money to sway their child’s loyalty. Sources told The National Enquirer that the Yeezy rapper is seething after learning about the six-figure extravaganza — one he claims was designed to alienate him from his daughter.
Kardashian, 44, reportedly spared no expense for the luxury trip. The birthday bash took place at a five-star resort in Mexico and included private jet travel, personal butlers, and unlimited gifts.
Kim’s lavish birthday blowout sparks fury
An insider close to the Kardashian camp said Kim wanted to give North the best birthday ever and didn’t hold back. She chartered a private plane, flew North and her friends to Mexico, and treated them like royalty the entire time.
The celebration reportedly included a yacht party, designer gifts, and a full staff available 24/7. The girls stayed in a luxury villa with spa treatments and custom outfits waiting in their closets.
But Kanye, 48, is far from impressed. The rapper reportedly told friends the party was a calculated attempt to win North’s affection and make him look like a deadbeat.
According to a family source, Kanye is livid because he can’t compete with Kim’s wealth. The source added that he’s drowning in legal fees and business losses, which makes it impossible for him to keep up.
Kanye rages over spending war
Once worth $2 billion, Kanye’s net worth has plummeted to an estimated $400 million after his controversial statements and failed business deals. The loss of brand partnerships has hit hard, insiders say, especially as Kim’s Skims empire continues to skyrocket.
He’s convinced this birthday bash was just another move to turn North against him, a source close to Kanye told The National Enquirer. The source added that while Kim showers North with luxury, Kanye feels increasingly alienated from his daughter.
Kim also reportedly fulfilled every item on North’s lengthy wish list — from fine jewelry to custom electric cars. Sources claim the preteen walked away with tens of thousands worth of presents.
Kanye’s frustration has also been fueled by the contrasting public images. While Kim enjoys wide support for her parenting and business success, Kanye continues to battle a damaged reputation following his polarizing political stunts and inflammatory social media rants.
Insiders say Kim has remained silent on Kanye’s accusations, focusing instead on making memories with her children. But those close to the rapper say he’s not backing down — and the battle is far from over.
