Former Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Kanye West collaged his pop culture friends and enemies with the Captain America: Civil War poster, but he took the artwork down within twenty-four hours. The stunt is the latest of many moves Kanye has made in an attempt to control the narrative of his divorce from Kim Kardashian. The couple was married for almost seven years, but things became rocky, as Kanye's very public outbursts were increasingly routine. Living in different states also took a toll, as Kim realized that she needed someone to share her day-to-day life with. After the split, the exes are still embroiled in drama.
At first, all seemed amicable, and co-parenting was the former couple's top priority. However, recently, the parents definitely don't seem to be on the same page. From Kanye's diss track calling out Kim's parenting to the threat to beat up Pete Davidson, Kanye is having a hard time letting go of the past. Meanwhile, Kim shot back with an Instagram post saying Kanye's endless efforts to control the public narrative and criticize her are more damaging to her kids than some monitored TikTok usage. She followed up the post with a Vogue cover shoot and story. In an interview with the fashion publication, she made it clear that she would never put down Kanye in front of her kids, no matter how much he frustrated her.
Kanye's social media posts took a creative turn on Saturday when he decided to make a collage of his pop culture friends and enemies, against the backdrop of Marvel's Civil War movie poster. On team Kanye were Drake, Julia Fox, Travis Scott, and Future. On team Pete were Kim, Kid Cudi, Billie Eilish, and Taylor Swift. Kanye told Billie to apologize to Travis for helping a fan in her audience or he wouldn't perform at Coachella. Kanye captioned the post, "the internet has still not found a decent picture of Skete." RVPTOR Tweeted his own collage of Kanye's latest theories, as seen below:
After taking down the Marvel-themed collage, the esteemed rapper and fashion mogul followed up with a "Fight Night: West Versus Davidson" poster, with Pete and Kanye ensconced in alien heads. This now-deleted post read, as per Hollywood Life, "this ain't about Skete people it's about selling y'all a narrative Skete just playing his part in Frozen 3." Despite the dramatic and shocking theorizing, Kanye says he has no beef with Kim at the moment. Kanye then went on to criticize Bob Igor's efforts to control the young adult market through Marvel, Star Wars, and potentially, Machine Gun Kelly.
Kanye seems to believe that the link between the Kardashian's Hulu deal and the newfound relevance of Pete, MGK, and Travis Scott in the Kardashians' sphere is part of a larger media strategy that's being orchestrated by Disney. Many suspected that Pete and Kim's romance was a media stunt early on, adding fuel to Kanye's fire. Kanye has since removed both posts, but millions view his art and thoughts before they disappear.
What's true is that higher powers are attempting to control media narratives and markets at all times, and Kanye's disrupting them and unintentionally promoting Pete. Whether "Skete" and Bob are in cahoots remains to be seen. Pete and Kim may have made their debut as Jasmine and Aladdin on Saturday Night Live, but his association with Disney markets is still blurry until Pete becomes a Marvel superhero. Keeping Up With the Kardashians' fans can count on Kanye to keep his free-flowing thoughts going via social media, and will definitely be keeping up.
