Kanye West has refused to sign a document granting estranged wife Kim Kardashian “legally single” status amid his online attacks against the mother of his children.
The Chicago rapper shared a series of salacious claims about his estranged wife via Instagram posts.
Back in Dec 2021, news broke that Kim Kardashian, 41, asked a judge to declare her single amid her ongoing divorce from rapper Kanye West, 44.
In the legal documents, Kim Kardashian reportedly requested to have her maiden name restored and asked for the court to separate issues of child custody and property from her marital status.
It’s been almost two months since Kim filed documents in court yet her request has not been granted and it’s been alleged that Kanye West is at the center of the delay.
The rapper is reportedly refusing to sign on the dotted line, which would move Kim’s request forward.
A source told E! News that Kim is prepared to end the marriage once and for all, but she’s facing issues from her former husband.
“Kim is still trying to get the ‘married’ status dissolved to ‘single’ before they finalize the divorce, but Ye has yet to sign.”
They continued: “Moving this divorce along isn’t something he’s acting quickly on, despite Kim’s efforts.”
Kanye has since deleted his online rants directed at Kim, accusing her of “kidnapping” their daughter Chicago, keeping him from his children, and more.
She hit back with a statement, writing: “Kanye’s constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any TikTok North might create.
“As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision because it brings her so much happiness.”
She went on: “Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye’s obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all.
