‘He Loves His Kids, I love It’: Fans Celebrate Kanye West for Going Over and Above as a Dad After Casually Taking His Kids to School in a Giant Red Fire Truck

Kanye West has proved he’s a “super dad.” In the latest episode of Hulu’s “The Kardashians” that aired Thursday, May 19, the “Donda” rapper provided his little ones with a one-of-a-kind trip to school.

“We’re going to school in a firetruck,” said Ye’s oldest daughter, North West, 8, in a clip from the episode.

West is seen smiling ear to ear as firefighters drive him, North, and his daughter, Chicago West, to school wearing firefighter’s hats. The trio went on making bird noises in the back.

“I think some people are kind of bashful to be super dads. Everybody wants to be a cool dad and sometimes you gotta, like, wear the fire hat. You know what I mean? Sometimes you gotta wear the Easter bunny costume.”

Kanye West is no stranger to over-the-top gifts, but fans in the comments of The Shade Room’s page were quite impressed with the fire truck ride. Many celebrated the cool dad for the extravagant ride to school.

“He loves his kids, I love it. The smile and laughter he displays around them.”

“Idc what y’all say that’s cool asf for their age and he’s a good dad.”

“Kanye only smiles when he’s with his kids. Love to see it.”

“I love that this is being publicized and we can see how happy he is being a dad. Kanye crazy but still innocent.”

“It’s giving rich rich.”

Only a fool couldn’t notice the gigantic smile on the “Praise God” rapper’s face. He smiled ear to ear while spending time with his children despite going through a divorce with their mother, Kim Kardashian. “Them kids make him smile so hard,” said one person. In his defense, another wrote, “I don’t care what everybody said, Kanye West is a damn good overprotective daddy.”

A handful focused in on North and Chicago West having a touching sister-to-sister moment next to their dad. One person said, “It’s the sisters holding hands for me.” Another said, “Chicago West is f—–g gorgeous.”

A third said, “Those babies are beautiful. Kim and Kanye are doing a great job despite their current circumstance.’

Kim and Kanye West have been struggling with co-parenting since the reality star filed for divorce on Feb. 19, 2021. The former couple share four children, North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3. Kim requested joint legal and physical custody of their children after the parents exchanged words on social media. Over the past few months the two have made a number of accusations against each other, including Ye claiming she didn’t invite him to Chicago’s birthday party in January.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
