Ye is at it again.
After several previous incidents throughout his divorce from ex-wife Kim Kardashian, Ye is once again airing the pair's private family matters on social media. This time, his beef includes his former mother-in-law, Kris Jenner.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, Ye displayed screenshots of a text argument between he and Kardashian about their children's schooling in which he seemed to accuse Kardashian and Jenner of planning to push their daughters into doing pornography.
The texts are likely a reference to the infamous leaked sex tape that made Kardashian a household name back in 2007. See the screenshots below.

The conversation shows an argument over Kardashian's apparent desire to send their kids to the prestigious Los Angeles prep school Sierra Canyon, of which many celebrity children are alumni, including Kardashian's sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner.
The post began with what appeared to be a Notes app screenshot which read in part:
“My kids going to Donda. They not going to Sierra Canyon."
"Donda" is a reference to Donda Academy, Ye's private Christian school named after his mother.
Ye's Notes app screenshot went on to name check rapper Charlemagne the God, with whom Ye has long-standing beef, and his former mother-in-law Kris Jenner.
"Charlemagne the God and Kris... Get your motherfu*king popcorn."
Ye also shared screenshots of his texts with Kardashian, who asked Ye to stop posting their conversations. His reply seemed to accuse his ex-wife of racism in her dealings with their children.
"You don’t have say so of where the kids go to school. Why you get [say so]. Cause you half white?”
Kardashian replied with a message from her mother asking Ye to leave her out of his attacks. The message read:
“From my mom- PLEASE, Tell him to please stop mentioning my name. I’m almost 67 years old and I don’t always feel great and this stresses me to no end.”
Ye replied with more seeming accusations of racism, along with an even more serious allegation: that Jenner and Kardashian intend to push the children into the sex industry. The message read:
“Y’all don’t have [say so] over my black children and where they go to school."
"They will not do playboy and sex tapes."
"Tell your Clinton friends to come get me. I’m here.”
It's unclear what the reference to "Clinton" means, but it's likely a reference to QAnon conspiracy theories about former Democratic Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Democratic President Bill Clinton, whom QAnon followers believe to be Satanists running a child sex trafficking ring.
Ye is an outspoken conservative and supporter of former Republican President Donald Trump, whom the QAnon movement believes is working to uncover the child trafficking of which they accuse the Clintons and many others.
In the caption of his Instagram post, Ye made more explicit accusations that Kris Jenner forced her children into appearing nude. The caption read:
“Don’t let Kris make you do playboy like she made [Kylie Jenner] and Kim do."
Ye went on in his caption to claim "Hollywood is a giant brothel," another likely reference to the QAnon movement, which claims Hollywood elites are child sex traffickers as well. He then railed against pornography and pledged to keep his children out of the industry.
"Pornography destroyed my family. I deal with the addiction. Instagram promotes it. Not gonna let it happen to Northy and Chicago."
Naturally, Ye's post raised plenty of eyebrows and left many angry.
\u201cIt\u2019s so strange to me that that Kanye\u2019s own exploitation of Kim\u2019s body is never discussed. In campaigns, shoots he was creative dir. for. Somehow It\u2019s always Kris\u2019 fault and he himself never perpetuated that?! Bound 2 was the first major collab they did and she\u2019s nude on a bike.\u201d— Zachary Bland (@Zachary Bland) 1662101089
\u201cKanye knew who the Kardashians were when he married Kim. I'm sick of this revisionist history coming from him. Kim didn't hide who she was from anybody. If he didn't want a white person to have a say in his children's lives, he shouldn't have had children with a white person.\u201d— ZAK (@ZAK) 1662077690
\u201cThe Playboy shoots and sex tape is literally what made Kanye to be obsessed with Kim. Married her and had four kids. Her being white was a bonus for him. He also knew about Kris Jenners actions. Why is it a problem now\u201d— \ud835\ude70\ud835\ude7a \ud835\ude84\ud835\ude89\ud835\ude84\ud835\ude7c\ud835\ude70\ud835\ude7a\ud835\ude78 (@\ud835\ude70\ud835\ude7a \ud835\ude84\ud835\ude89\ud835\ude84\ud835\ude7c\ud835\ude70\ud835\ude7a\ud835\ude78) 1662099967
\u201cI know Kanye be having Kris Jenner STRESSED \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 he\u2019s the one thing she can\u2019t control\u201d— Ry \ud83e\udddc\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2640\ufe0f (@Ry \ud83e\udddc\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2640\ufe0f) 1662078897
\u201cDo you know how weird you have to be to make the KARDASHIANS seem somewhat sympathetic?\n\nhttps://t.co/831653wAkS via @hiphopdx\u201d— Rugged Amethyst #TexasBorn #CaliBred (@Rugged Amethyst #TexasBorn #CaliBred) 1662166210
But not everyone felt Ye was out of line for trying to protect his daughters from Kris Jenner.
\u201cTwo things can be true: Kanye willingly married Kim K, and is wrong for his online antics\n\nAND \n\nKris Jenner exploited her daughters\u2019 sexuality for money, and it\u2019s right for a father to not wanna see his own kids go down the same road. \n\nI\u2019m minding my own business on this one \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\u201d— \ud80c\udced LOEWE Lioness \uea00 (@\ud80c\udced LOEWE Lioness \uea00) 1662112651
\u201cCall Kanye crazy all you want but Kris Jenner is absolutely a \u201cpimp\u201d and she\u2019s been using her daughters sex appeal to make money since the sex tape, I don\u2019t blame Kanye for being overprotective of his daughters in that family\u201d— liv \ud83c\udfdd (@liv \ud83c\udfdd) 1662077177
\u201cKanye bringing attention to Kris Jenner\u2019s use of sex to make her family famous is long overdue\u201d— Not Sam (@Not Sam) 1662082069
\u201cPeople are so pro black fathers except when @kanyewest wants input on where his children go to school and when he says he doesn\u2019t want them exploited like @KrisJenner AKA Kris Jung Un did her daughters. How is he wrong for that? #kanyewest #kimkardashian\u201d— Kiya (@Kiya) 1662079988
\u201cKris Jenner is just mad bc Kanye is reminding people how much she exploited her own children and she\u2019s mad Kanye won\u2019t let that happen with him and Kim\u2019s kids\u201d— a (@a) 1662080642
Before Ye's post was deleted, rapper Ray J, Kardashian's partner in the infamous sex tape, chimed in on the controversy as well.

In his comment he seemed to share Ye's feelings about Kris Jenner being exploitative, and accused her of having "masterminded everything 4 your family, and tried to ruin mine at the same time."
