Kanye West was spotted on dad duty with his eldest child North just as news broke of his eye-watering child support payment with ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
It’s reported that the Grammy-winning rapper, who has been embroiled in an antisemitism controversy, has agreed to pay a staggering $200,000 a month to Skims boss Kim as child support payment for their four children.
The former couple, who split in February 2021 when Kim filed for divorce, share North, nine, Saint, six, Chicago, four and Psalm, three.
On Tuesday, Kanye, 45, looked like every other regular dad as he picked up North from her basketball practice before heading to the shopping centre for some retail therapy.
However, it didn’t appear to be a particularly luxury trip as the two were seen leaving Macy’s which had a Toys R Us section. A handler was seen walking alongside the pair carrying a couple of large shopping bags, one of which had a stuffed penguin sticking out.
North proved to be a daddy’s girl as she wore a long black T-shirt with ‘Donda 8 5 2021’ emblazoned on the front as part of his Donda album merchandise.

The daddy-daughter outing comes as Kanye and Kim, 42, finally settled the terms of their divorce.
According to TMZ, Kanye will pay Kim $200K a month in child support, which is said to be due into her account on the first day of each month.
He’s also responsible for 50% of their kids’ educational expenses, including school fees, as well as 50% of their children’s security expenses.

It’s been claimed that if they disagree over matters relating to their children, they will attend mediation however, if one party fails to attend then the decision falls to the other person by default.
Kim filed for divorce in February 2021 after seven years of marriage and was declared legally single earlier this year.
She went on to date Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson until their split this summer, while Kanye has been linked to several women including Uncut Gems actress Julia Fox.
News of Kanye’s hefty child support payments also come after the Jesus Walks rapper claimed he owes $50million in taxes.
