Kanye West “broke down” and took his eldest daughter North on holiday without his wife Bianca Censori after becoming distraught over the 10-year-old’s requests to live a simpler life with him, insiders claim.
The rapper’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, with whom he has four children, including North, recently recalled how the young woman threw a tantrum when she complained about it in their $60 million Calabasas mansion living with security guards, nannies and cooks.
Kim’s comments, which aired on the Hulu reality show The Kardashians, reportedly prompted Kanye, 46, to leave his wife for a father-daughter trip to Dubai and Saudi Arabia after realizing how much North “needs” him.
“Kanye needed to spend time with North,” a source told exclusively.

On a recent episode of The Kardashians (watch here), Kim revealed that North cried when she asked why they couldn’t enjoy living in an apartment like their dad’s
“After seeing what Kim said on the show, he broke down because he realized how much North needed him.”

Kim, 43, spoke about North’s tantrums as she discussed the difficulties of single parenting with her sister Kourtney on the reality show.

“North, she will go to her father and say, “Dad is the best. He has everything figured out. He doesn’t have a nanny. He doesn’t have a cook. He doesn’t have one.” “I have security. He lives in an apartment,” she said.
Bianca reportedly “did her best to get to know North” and saw her in June
“And she starts crying: “Why don’t you have an apartment? I can’t believe we don’t have a place to live.”‘
The comments are believed to have upset Bianca, who accused Kim of “putting her children’s safety at risk” by revealing information about Kanye’s apparent lack of security.
“Bianca feels that it was quite sensitive of Kim to reveal this information about the Kardashians and that she actually put her children’s safety at risk by doing so,” another source previously told .
“The public does not need to know that their children are unprotected at any time.”
“She just wants Kim to stop talking about her husband Kanye in a negative light to try to make herself look better.”
Kanye married Bianca – who worked as an architect at his company Yeezy – in December 2022, just a month after finalizing his divorce from Kim.
Earlier this month, she reunited with her two longtime friends on a solo trip to Australia for the first time since secretly tying the knot with the controversial rapper.
Her friends reportedly conducted a successful intervention to express concerns about her relationship. Insiders claimed she was fully aware of her husband’s “controlling nature”.

“She knows that she has excluded those close to her and she is also starting to look through the murky mirrors of her marriage.” “She is aware of Kanye’s controlling nature and is starting to look at things from an outside perspective .”
Their reunion was documented on Instagram, with one of Bianca’s friends sharing a picture of the three with the caption “Mrs Ye” – a reference to the rapper, who legally changed his name from Kanye Omari West to the mononym in October 2021.
Showing her penchant for bizarre clothing, Bianca wore a plunging black top which she accessorized with an oversized fur hat.
