Kanye West admits Kim Kardashian is raising their children '80% of the time'

Kanye West has admitted his ex-wife Kim Kardashian is raising their children '80% of the time'.

The former couple - who share children North, nine, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, three - split up in February last year after Kim filed for divorce.

Kim and Kanye were together for seven years before they parted ways.

Ye, 45, responded to the criticism he received when he went on yet another Instagram rant regarding his children and his ex-wife.

Speaking on the Alo Mind podcast, he said: " You get to that point everyone wants to say 'Oh, it's mental health' and everybody wants you to apologize a million times.

"Everybody wants to have everyone so doped out, so controlled out, that you're not allowed to even stand up for the things that you're handing to your family."

He went on to say: "Your home is your original church. So, even to this day, I'll still give Kim advice on things that can help, because that's gonna go to the kids.

"She's still gotta — basically 80 per cent of the time — raise those children."

Earlier this month, Kanye accused his fans of being "crazy" for not understanding him as he slammed his ex-wife Kim for allegedly not giving him a say about where to send their kids to school.

He also hit out at fashion giants Gap and Adidas in a rant shared to Instagram.

He wrote: "Here is the through line. Gap having meetings about me without me. Adidas releasing old shoes and colouring my shoes like I'm dead.

"Me not having a say on where my children go to school.

"Call me whatever names you want. If you don't understand why I will not back down on my businesses my brands and my children then you're the ones who are crazy."

Kanye said he didn't want his brood going to private school Sierra Canyon, but instead wanted them to attend the Donda Academy - an educational college he has set up himself.

A few days later, things seemed to cool down as he had a 'good meeting' with the mother of his children.

Taking to Instagram, the rapper said: "Hi guys I'm baaaaack Sorry to take so long to post I just had a good meeting with Kim about the schools."

However, Ye used the rest of the post to bash his 'enemies', including Adidas executive Daniel Cherry, Kid Cudi and Kim's ex, Pete Davidson.

When the couple were in the process of their bitter divorce, Kim begged Ye to stop sharing the private text messages between the pair.

However, in his earlier rant about their children's schools – he did just that.

In the messages, Kim seemed to tell her ex-husband to 'please stop' before he insisted on meeting her in person.
