A source told E! News on Thursday that Kanye gave Kim a ‘heads up’ about a reported track on Donda about their marriage.
‘He was respectful and gave her the heads up,’ the insider said, adding that Kanye ‘did not want to blindside’ the 40-year-old SKIMS founder.
Kim filed for divorce from the Stronger hitmaker in February after seven years of marriage, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ on court docs.
Donda, which is titled after the name of West’s late mother, was originally slated to premiere on July 24, 2020, but was unexpectedly postponed amid West’s failed run for presidency.
And now, almost exactly a year later, Donda will be available to purchase and stream starting Friday, July 23.

West confirmed the album’s long-awaited release in the latest ad for Beats By Dre starring track star Sha’Carri Richardson, which premiered during Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday.
The minute-long spot, which was scored and edited by West, features a snippet of his newest track No Child Left Behind.
Donda is the follow-up album to 2019’s Jesus Is King, which saw Kanye enter into the realm of gospel music – inspiring the birth of his famous Sunday Services.
