‘I Lost My Queen Too’: Kanye West Reportedly Compares Losing Ex-Wife Kim Kardashian to London Losing Queen Elizabeth

Days after apologizing to his ex-wife, Kanye West makes a bizarre comparison between her and the late Queen Elizabeth, who died earlier this month. His Instagram page has been wiped clean, but on Sunday, Sept. 25, he shared a series of fashion-related posts on his Instagram story.

In between those, the Yeezy CEO also shared a few unrelated posts regarding his family. One included a collage of tattoos featuring crosses, stars, skulls, hearts and more, followed by a throwback of actor Woody Harrelson

But fans were more concerned with the rapper’s post about his split from Kim Kardashian. He compared the residents of London, England losing Queen Elizabeth to their divorce. He wrote, “London, I know how you feel. I lost my Queen too.” 

Kim and Kanye wed in 2014, and share four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm; the last two were born via surrogate. The former couple separated until the reality star filed for divorce on Feb. 19, 2021, as previously reported. They finalized their divorce this year in March.

Kim began dating “SNL” star Pete Davidson in November 2021, but they broke up after nine months. For a grand part of their nine-month relationship, Ye referred to the comedian as “Skete Davidson” and aggressively taunted him online.

Kim accused the “Donda” artist of “creating a dangerous and scary environment” in a text he shared in February. She suggested that “someone will hurt Pete and this will be all your fault.”

A month later in March, the former couple finalized their divorce and Ye appeared in The Game‘s “Easy” music video. It features a claymation video of Davidson, with West kidnapping Davidson and burying him alive. He further expressed his disdain for Davidson, rapping, “God saved me from that crash/Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a–.”

Recently, while on “Good Morning America,” West apologized for “any stress” he caused as a result of their breakup. 

“This is the mother of my children and I apologize for any stress that I have caused, even in my frustration because God calls me to be stronger,” he said. “I need this person to be less stressed and of the best, sound mind and as calm as possible to be able to raise those children at the end of the day.”

However, the 45-year-old claims he had “to fight” to have an equal “voice” in co-parenting his children. “As a dad and as a Christian. And I have a right to have a voice on what my kids are wearing, what they’re watching, what they’re eating,” he added.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
