After being declared legally single by a judge earlier this week, Kim Kardashian has dropped the surname ‘West’ from most of her social media.
As the split between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian gets more dramatic, Kim Kardashian has removed the surname ‘West’ from most of her social media accounts. The move comes after a judge declared her ‘legally single’ on March 2nd, amidst mounting backlash from Kanye West.
It also comes a day after West was panned for his track ‘Easy’ with Gunna, where he seemed to make disturbing references to Pete Davidson, who is currently dating Kardashian.
In the claymation-style video, a figure bearing the likeness of Davidson is kidnapped and buried alive as Ye raps: “God saved me from that crash/ Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass.”
Earlier in December, Kardashian had filed for her divorce proceedings to be split into two – one that would allow her to restore use of her maiden name, and the other which would address custody of her four children with Kanye West and the couple’s assets.
At the time, Ye had objected to the filing, saying that it posed a “risk of adverse consequences.” West’s attorneys had also claimed that they would only agree to the splitting of the proceedings only in case certain conditions were met – some of which included limitations on when Kardashian could legally remarry.
The couple’s separation – which was announced just over a year ago – has become increasingly hostile, with Kanye West publicly questioning Kim’s parenting and accusing her of keeping him away from his children.

After Kanye objected to his daughter being on Tiktok, Kim responded in a statement on Instagram: “Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye’s obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all.”
“From the beginning I have wanted nothing but a healthy relationship and supportive co-parenting relationship because it is what is best for our children and it saddens me that Kanye continues to make it impossible every step of the way.” she said.
