Kanye West shockingly said a disturbing revelation about his daughter during his controversial presidential campaign in 2020 that affected his family life.

Kanye West made the headlines again after he went on an online rampage a few days ago, earning tons of backlash from fans on social media. As the rapper continues to stir some controversy wherever he goes, there’s one issue that still lives rent-free in the public’s mind.

Back in 2020, when West attempted to run for president, he delivered a shocking speech that took everyone aback. His revelation about his daughter, North West, was something that no one expected to hear.

During his first presidential campaign rally in South Carolina, rapper and record producer Kanye West gave a long speech about abortion. This has been a huge debate in the country—and anywhere else in the world—so everyone wanted to hear his own stance on the matter.

When the subject was brought up, the rapper tearfully shared how his mother saved his life when his father wanted to abort him. “There would’ve been no Kanye West because my dad was too busy,” he told the crowd via The Sun.

His emotions got more intense, and as he sobbed, he shouted, “I almost killed my daughter!” This statement caught the audience off-guard as evident in the silence that came afterwards. For West to publicly say this about his daughter is indeed very disturbing. It might not have a good impact on his kid, who was only seven years old at the time.

The rapper and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian have officially separated in 2022, but they had been having a tumultuous relationship in the years before they filed for divorce. West’s speech reportedly did not sit well with the famed socialite as it is a private matter that should only be discussed at home.

West also revealed that, for three months, they had been contemplating the decision. “She had the pills in her hand,” he revealed, before adding how he saw a vision of God who supposedly told him, “If you f— with my vision, I’m gonna f— with yours.” After this, he called Kardashian to tell her that he changed his mind.

The rapper expressed appreciation for his ex-wife for bringing North into the world, but his speech has certainly hurt Kardashian and his child, and for it to be immortalized on the Internet may never be a good thing.

Kanye West acknowledged his mistake following a controversial abortion speech

West admitted his mistake in a Thanksgiving prayer uploaded on Instagram. He said he ran for presidency with no ally or proper preparation at all. “I embarrassed my wife in the way that I presented information about our family during the one, and thank God, only press conference,” he said (via Newsweek).

The controversy that his shocking speech has caused reportedly deepened the rift between him and his ex-wife, fuelling Kardashian’s decision to leave him for good. Still, the former couple has joint physical and legal custody of their four children.
