This week has been a mess for Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, and Pete Davidson.
Previously, Kim petitioned the court to declare her single before she and Kanye formally resolved their asset and custody dispute. Kanye West and his attorneys filed an objection to this request. He claims that he worries that Kim will move their joint assets into separate accounts. Kim, however, claims that this is ridiculous because they already have a prenup that keeps their separate assets separate.
Kanye also issued three requests to the judge, all of which Kim's lawyer has allegedly rejected:
1. If either of them dies, the decedent's estate will reimburse any money owed to the other party.
2. Kim cannot transfer assets out of any trust they have created. (OP note: This seems ridiculous, as it would be very difficult for one spouse to dissipate assets from a jointly held trust during a high-profile and contentious divorce. Also, they have a prenup.)
3. Kim must waive their marital privilege upon receiving a final custody decision and must waive spousal privilege with her new husband if she remarries.
Spousal privilege means that marital communications between a husband and wife remain private and are not necessarily part of court record. So, if Kanye's request were granted, communications between Kim and Kanye during their marriage would become court record. If Kim remarried, marital communications with her new spouse would be court record in the context of her divorce with Kanye.

Kanye also tweeted a list of people he has beef with, including the children's cartoon character Peppa Pig.

On the 22nd, he held a live listening event for his new album, Donda 2. On the album, he samples his ex-wife Kim Kardashian's opening monologue from SNL: "“I married the best rapper of all time. Not only that, he’s the richest black man in America. A talented, legit genius who gave me four incredible kids.” He left out the part where she says, "“When I divorced him, you have to know it came down to just one thing: his personality.”
On the album, Kanye also implied that he puts Pete Davidson's security at risk. Pete deleted his Instagram, though his team denies that it is due to Kanye. Kanye, however, posted a now-deleted Instagram in which he wrote:
"Ran Skete off the gram Tell your mother I changed your name for life," in reference to the deletion.
He attended the Donda 2 event with a woman named Chaney Jones who looks eerily like Kim. He also threw his microphone in frustration due to sound issues.

Kim claimed to the family law court that Kanye's tweets about her, their children, and Pete Davidson have caused her emotional distress. She allegedly wants to move on and co-parent in a healthy manner but cannot because Kanye is refusing to.

Later in the week, Kim attended Milan fashion week wearing Prada, which some people believe is an F-you to Kanye because he liked to have her in head-to-toe Balenciaga.

Kanye is objecting to Kim's request to be declared single and claims that Kim can't prove that he wrote the emotionally distressing tweets.
