Kardashians Snub Kanye West on His Birthday
On Thursday, June 8, Kanye West turned 46 years old. But unlike other years when the Kardashians would shower him with birthday messages on social media, this year was unusually silent. This snub comes as no surprise given the troubled past of the Kardashian-West relationship, which ended a few months ago.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West share four children, namely nine-year-old North, seven-year-old Saint, five-year-old Chicago, and four-year-old Psalm. However, Kanye’s controversial past may put a strain on their relationship for many years to come. The rapper has faced criticism for his politically-charged remarks and his association with neo-Nazi groups.
While the Kardashian family often treats their exes as part of the family, Kanye’s misconduct has made him a special case. He has made himself untouchable after proclaiming himself as an anti-Semitic, Hitler-loving jerk. His infamy will likely remain a burden for his children for much of their lives.
The family’s silence at Kanye’s birthday is in stark contrast to the greetings they gave to Scott Disick, another ex, on his birthday on May 26. Kim Kardashian posted a sweet message praising Scott’s qualities as a father. Meanwhile, Kris Jenner gave Scott a mushy shoutout, and Khloe waxed nostalgic about their special bond. Kourtney’s marriage has not dampened her love for Scott.
Even Tristan Thompson, Khloe’s ex-boyfriend who relentlessly cheated on her and broke her heart, received warm birthday wishes from the Kardashian-Jenner clan in March. Kris Jenner shared posts to encourage Tristan, hoping that he could find “the positive and light” after his mother’s passing.
But Kanye’s past conduct has set him apart from the rest of the exes. His association with neo-Nazi groups and his praising of Hitler during his presidential campaign have made him a pariah in the eyes of the Kardashians. Speaking to the confession camera on Season 3, a tearful Kim Kardashian vowed to protect her children from unpleasant truths while she still can.
It appears that the Kardashian family is cutting Kanye out of their lives, at least for the meantime. While their children can’t escape the controversies surrounding their father, the Kardashians can protect them from further hurt by severing their ties to the rapper.
Kanye’s birthday may have come and gone without any greetings from the Kardashians, but the repercussions of his controversial past still haunt him and his family. He has made himself untouchable, and it’s unclear whether he will ever repair the damage he has done.
