As of 2025, Kanye “Ye” West and Kim Kardashian’s relationship remains a symbol of high-profile turbulence, marked by ongoing public disputes and legal complexities. Though their divorce was finalized in 2022, Ye’s posts about Kardashian center on co-parenting disagreements and attract media attention. Kardashian, who has focused on her legal advocacy and business empire, allegedly desires to shield their children from the chaos. Now, Ye allegedly has a new bone to pick with his ex-wife. Here’s what a source said about Ye accusing Kardashian of “blowing money” at a rate he can’t keep up with — especially when it comes to their eldest daughter, North West.

Kanye ‘Ye’ West allegedly thinks Kim Kardashian spent too much money on North West’s 12th birthday bash

Kanye “Ye” West and Kim Kardashian share four children: North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6. Ye has publicly called out Kardashian for her parenting on X, claiming Kardashian never allows him to see his children. Now, he allegedly has a new grievance. A source told RadarOnline that Ye thinks Kardashian is “blowing money” at a pace he can’t handle.

The insider alleged that Ye had a problem with the amount of money Kardashian spent on North’s 12th birthday party.

“Kim spent hundreds of thousands on this celebration,” the source alleged. “She flew North and her friends down to Mexico on a private jet. Best of everything is a must.”

“She didn’t stop there, though,” they continued. “North got a ton of ridiculously over-the-top gifts — jewelry, watches, etc. — and another electric kid car. Kim bought everything. She asked for it, and it was all made to order.”

The source noted that Ye’s legal troubles and recent loss of endorsement deals have deeply affected his finances.

“Kanye can’t keep pace with Kim financially, and it drives him crazy,” the insider added. “It’s a blow to his pride — and a tug to his neck in legal bills. North admires her dad, but she thinks her mom is better and richer. That’s the painful reason he’s so bitter and jealous.”

Additionally, Ye pays Kardashian a handsome sum in child support. Per their joint physical and legal custody agreement, he pays Kardashian $200,000 per month in child support while also splitting costs for private schooling, healthcare, security, and future college expenses.

Kim Kardashian spared no expense for her daughter’s 12th birthday bash

North West’s 12th birthday in June 2025 looked every bit as vibrant and lavish as her personality. Kim Kardashian whisked her daughter and close friends, plus cousin Penelope Disick, to a luxury beach retreat in Los Cabos, Mexico. According to Hola! USA, the celebration spanned a beachfront mansion with a pool, volleyball court, inflatable swan floats, and an outdoor cinema under the stars, followed by a breezy yacht excursion off the coast for a touch of glam and adventure.

North dazzled in a playful all‑blue ensemble that included a royal‑blue cami and navy pinstriped denim culottes. She topped it off with bright blue hair, multi‑colored 3D nails, layered necklaces and bracelets, channeling a youthful homage to Aunt Kylie’s “King Kylie” era.

Kardashian took to Instagram to wish her daughter a happy birthday. “My little baby North turns 12 years old today,” she posted. “We were looking at pics today together and laughing so hard, you were so small. It’s been the most special calling being your mom. I love you forever and got you forever my bubs.”

While the source claims that North West believes Kim Kardashian is “better and richer,” this doesn’t echo what Kardashian said about her daughter in the past. In a previous episode of The Kardashians, Kardashian said in a confessional that North believes Kanye “Ye” West is “the best.”

“North will go to her dad’s and she [will say], ‘Dad’s is the best. He has it all figured out. He doesn’t have a nanny or a chef or security; he lives in an apartment,'” Kardashian said. “And she will start crying, ‘Why don’t you have an apartment? I can’t believe we don’t have an apartment.'”
