He has kept uncharacteristically quiet over the cheating scandal that has engulfed his sister-in-law Khloe Kardashian’s beau Tristan Thompson.
But Kanye West has broken his silence via the medium of music over the NBA player’s indiscretion when his partner was heavily pregnant, rapping about him on new LP ‘Ye’.
The charismatic rapper, 40, who is married to Khloe’s sister Kim, bizarrely blamed Tristan’s cheating on the online dating service Christian Mingle and hinted that Khloe, 33, who gave birth to daughter True in April, nearly dumped him over it.

He rapped: ‘All these THOTS on Christian Mingle… That’s what almost got Tristan single.’
Thot is an derogatory acronym for ‘That ho over there’.
Tristan was caught kissing another woman in a club in New York just days before Khloe delivered their baby girl, but the reality starlet has been sticking by her man in the weeks since.
Khloe gave birth to her first child on April 12 just days after Tristan was exposed as a serial cheater during their relationship.

Oh dear: Kanye has never been afraid of speaking his mind, but had kept quiet about the turbulent period in sister in law Khloe’s relationship (pictured above in 2014)
Family: Kanye is married to Khloe’s sister Kim, with the couple sharing children North, five, Saint, two, and Chicago, four months
However, she has remained in the home they shared in Cleveland with their daughter.
But while she’s putting on a brave front publicly, a source claimed to UsWeekly Wednesday that, behind the scenes, things are still very strained.
‘She doesn’t know how she’s going to rebuild trust in him,’ the insider told the publication. ‘She knows her family and friends aren’t supporting him or her right now.’
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers player, 27, is said to be ‘completely emotionally and physically exhausted from the cheating allegations and of course the playoffs’ and he and Khloe are ‘fighting constantly’.
Bound 2 hitmaker Kanye also referenced wife Kim on the seven-track album, recalling she called him up ‘screaming’ after hearing about his rebuked remark about slavery – in which he claimed the 400 years of black slavery was a ‘choice’ made by those enslaved.

The musician, who shares three children; North, four, Saint, two, and Chicago, four months with Kim rapped: ‘Wife calling screaming saying we’re about to lose it all, I had to calm her down ’cause she couldn’t breathe.
‘I told her she could leave me now but she wouldn’t leave. This what they mean when they say “For better or for worse, huh?'”
The rapper has been in Wyoming working on the album, his eighth, for weeks along with several collaborators including Travis Scott, Drake, Migos and Big Sean.

The album dropped at midnight June 1. It marks Kanye’s comeback after he cancelled his Saint Pablo tour dates in 2016 and was hospitalized for mental health issues.
And according to first reports from those at the listening party, he references his medical struggles in his lyrics as well as the way his marriage to Kim has changed him, which has won him praise from fans and celebrities alike.
This isn’t the first time Kanye has made waves with his controversial lyrics, in 2016 he claimed he made arch-nemesis Taylor Swift famous and insinuated he would bed her one day.
On ‘Famous’, which he premiered at his Yeezy Season 3 fashion show in New York, he spat: ‘I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex, I made that b***h famous.’
