Kanye West poured his broken family fears amid the fizzling of his marriage into a song off his new album Donda. At the live-stream debut on Friday held at the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia the 44-year-old rapper cried and fell to his knees while performing the track 'Love Unconditionally' — which was about 'losing' his family.
Wearing an all red outfit and a balaclava over his face he repeatedly said: 'I'm losing my family / I'm losing my family / I'm losing my family,' which seemed to be a not so subtle nod to estranged wife Kim Kardashian and their four children. He 'respects Kim a lot and wants to keep the family unit. Now that they have had space, Kim feels relieved that they can be cordial and spend time together for the sake of the kids,' the source added.
The title of his family-centric track seemed to be a nod to Kim's Father's Day post on June 20, just four months after she filed for divorce following seven-years of marriage. 'Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads in our lives! Love you unconditionally!!!,' her carousel of images read — two of which included photos of Kanye and the kids. And another track called 'Welcome to My Life' is also a reflection on their marriage, and West was said to have 'cried for two minutes,' after playing it at the Las Vegas listening party days ago.
'It's a very deep, sad song about Kanye, with him reflecting on his marriage with Kim,' an insider told The Sun.
'He talks about the kids and mentions her taking everything. After he played this song he paused for like, two minutes, and cried. It was really sombre.' On the Final Curtain reunion of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim had said that the All of the Lights rapper would 'always be family.'
'I will forever be Kanye's biggest fan. He's the father of my kids, Kanye will always be family,' she told host Andy Cohen, later adding that their marriage was 'so real' and filled with 'lots of love.' 'We have an amazing co-parenting relationship, and I respect him so much, and you know, that was my friend first, first and foremost, for a long time, so I can't see that going away.'
