In a recent sit-down with DJ Akademiks, Kanye West dropped several bombshells about his past marriage to Kim Kardashian, fatherhood, and their ongoing custody battle. The rapper, known for his unfiltered remarks, didn’t hold back in expressing deep regrets and making startling claims about their relationship.
West admitted that just two months into dating Kardashian, he no longer wanted children with her. “That was my mistake,” he said. “I didn’t see this future with her, but things didn’t go how I planned.” Despite this, the ex-couple went on to have four kids: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

Their divorce has been messy, and West now claims he has little control over his children’s lives. He specifically called out Kardashian for trademarking their kids’ names without his full approval. “I don’t have equal say in their careers or public image,” he said. “These are my children too, but I’m treated like I don’t matter.”
Things got uglier when West released a song featuring their daughter North and Sean “Diddy” Combs against Kardashian’s wishes. She allegedly tried blocking the track, leading to a heated text exchange between them. West accused her of overstepping, while Kardashian argued she was protecting their daughter.

“She thinks she has all the power,” West said, visibly frustrated. “But I won’t let her shut me out of my kids’ lives.” He even threatened legal action, declaring, “If she keeps this up, neither of us will walk away clean.”
West’s interview outfit, a hooded black ensemble resembling KKK attire, sparked backlash, but he seemed unbothered. Instead, he doubled down on his grievances, framing the custody battle as a deeper cultural issue. “A white family controls the narrative around my Black children,” he claimed. “That’s not right.”
Despite the bitterness, Kardashian has previously said she wants “good vibes” between them for the kids’ sake. But with West’s latest revelations and legal threats, peace seems unlikely anytime soon.
One thing is clear: this feud is far from over, and their four children sadly remain caught in the middle.
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire
Rahul Bhatt sparks controversy over 'insensitive' remarks about sisters Alia and Pooja Bhatt
Rahul Bhatt, fitness trainer and son of veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, has found himself at the centre of a social media storm following controversial remarks about his half-sister, Alia Bhatt. In a recent interview, Rahul drew comparisons between Alia and their older sister Pooja Bhatt, calling the latter more talented, attractive, and principled.
The comments, which many have labelled inappropriate and insensitive, have sparked widespread criticism online. During the interview, Rahul stated, “In my opinion, she (Alia) is not even half of what my real sister Pooja is. Not in talent, not in looks, not in terms of being sexy. In front of my sister, she is ‘paani kam chai’ (watery tea). Amongst the siblings, the most talented and the most moralistic is Pooja.”
Social media users reacted strongly, questioning why Rahul would compare his sisters in such personal terms. Several users were particularly disturbed by his reference to their appearance and sex appeal, pointing out that such comparisons within a family cross boundaries of propriety. One comment read, “This is disturbing. Why talk about your sisters like that? It’s not just weird, it’s wrong.” Another post said, “There’s nothing respectful about comparing your siblings’ attractiveness in public.”
The backlash also reignited conversation around a decades-old controversy involving Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt. Rahul was asked about the infamous 1990s magazine cover where the father-daughter duo shared a kiss, which had stirred public outrage at the time. Dismissing the criticism, Rahul said, “It doesn’t make any difference. It’s like water off a duck’s back. We know the truth, and we’ve seen everything since childhood.”
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire, with critics saying it reflects a broader issue of the Bhatt family being insensitive to public perception and boundaries. Many users questioned the need for bringing up old incidents in a bid to defend new and equally questionable statements.
As of now, neither Alia Bhatt nor Pooja Bhatt has issued any public response to Rahul’s remarks. Both actors, known for their significant contributions to Indian cinema, have typically kept family matters private despite living in the public eye.
This episode has also sparked debate over the role of public figures in maintaining respect when discussing family matters in the media. Observers say such comments, especially when involving women’s appearance and personal qualities, reinforce problematic attitudes and fuel unnecessary controversies.
While Rahul Bhatt is not as prominent in the entertainment industry as his father or sisters, his comments have made headlines and placed the Bhatt family in the spotlight for reasons beyond their creative work. For many, this serves as a reminder that public platforms come with responsibility, and that family ties should not be trivialised or dissected for attention or comparison.
The backlash is unlikely to subside soon, especially as fans and followers of Alia and Pooja continue to express disappointment over the way the situation has unfolded. Whether or not Rahul chooses to clarify or apologise remains to be seen.
