Kanye West is now making 4 kids a ‘huge priority’ since return to LA and North, 10, is ‘helping dad with music video’
KANYE West has spent months jet-setting with new wife Bianca Censori and barely saw his kids, but he's now making them a priority, according to a source.
The 46-year-old rapper, who is set to release his new album Vultures next month, flew some of his children to the likes of Dubai and Italy on his previous travels.
But since his return to Los Angeles, an insider said he's been seeing them up to four times a week, and even making sure he's there on the school run.
Kanye shares four children with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian; North, 10; Saint, 8; Chicago, 6; and Psalm, 4.
He was awarded joint custody but previously complained Kim wasn't letting him see the kids and had them the majority of the time, which she has always denied.
"Ye was traveling for months and did make an effort to fly his kids out to see him, but he's made them a huge priority since coming back," the insider told The U.S. Sun.
"At the minute he's seeing them up to four times a week, he's even doing the school run sometimes.
"The swap over is at an old office in Calabasas and the kids are brought over with a nanny, and they spend time with their dad."
Kanye was pictured at a Lakers game with his children and wife Bianca Censori on Christmas Day, out grabbing ice cream, and at Saint's basketball games with Kim in the venue.

Despite his reputation taking a nose dive amid his antisemitic rants, hundreds of people turned up to see the show and cheered North on as she was seen in her element.
The insider said she's further been involved with her dad's music in recent weeks.
"North has been busy filming with Ye for one of his music videos at a warehouse in LA after she had a verse in one of his new songs," they revealed.
"She loves being with her dad, and Kim knows there's no point in fighting it, she wants North to be involved in his music, as long as she knows what's going on."
North's debuted her rap feature on a track believed to be called Bless Me, on the new album, where she says, "It's your bestie, Miss Miss Westie/ Don't try to test me/ It's gonna get messy/ It's gonna get messy/ Just just bless me, bless me."
The source added, "His behavior is still fairly erratic, but he's doing his best to be a dad in the middle of all of the chaos and is determined to still get his album out."
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Kanye's rep for comment but did not hear back.
His release with collaborator Ty Dollar $ign has been pushed back more than once and is now scheduled to drop on streaming services on February 9.
HEATED INTERACTION
Kanye got into a heated debate with a paparazzo on Monday afternoon after showing up to Charlie Wilson's Walk of Fame ceremony in Hollywood.
Video shared by shows the reporter asking him about reports by the Daily Mail that he's "controlling" his wife and/or banning her from social media.
When asked if Bianca has "free will," Kanye allegedly snatched her phone and began grilling her.

Kanye, who was seen in Hollywood wearing all black and a full face mask, despite the warm weather, claimed it was disrespectful "to come ask a grown-ass super-hero" if he controlled his wife.
The controversial hitmaker ended his interaction with the reporter by asking her if she wanted a job that pays double the day rate.
