The speculation about Kanye West’s possible move to Tokyo has generated a lot of talk, especially about his reasons for the move. According to insiders close to the rapper, he thinks it would be a good influence on his children to live in Japan. While his four children are living with Kim Kardashian in Los Angeles, West apparently believes that the unique culture and artistic environment of Japan could give them a more well-rounded perspective, which would be beneficial for their upbringing. However, West’s stay in Tokyo has not been easy, and Kardashian has had to care for their children in Los Angeles. A source has said West is enjoying anonymity in Japan to be at “so much peace,” and to feel more comfortable when he is removed from the persistent attention he constantly faces in his homeland.
There are claims he wants to step away from his constant harassment by legal pressures over his country in America. He doesn’t have the passion for America that he used to,” a source explained, noting that West feels hounded by lawsuits and constant criticism. While some reports claim that West is making the move for his children, to give them a new view of life, others claim that it has personal reasons. A source close to him said that his decision had nothing to do with family issues but with the numerous lawsuits he is facing in the U.S. “He loves his kids more than life itself,” the insider said, adding that he regularly talks to them.
Kim Kardashian is said to be worried about the practicalities of West’s relocation and its impact on her children. Sources claim she is at her wit’s end, dealing with the stress of co-parenting with an ex who is now based abroad. She fears the future if West moves to Japan for good, going so far as to threaten a lawsuit to have the matter sorted out.
