Kanye West I'm An Amazing Father ... Check Out My Minivan!!!
Kanye West will give you a fist bump if you call him an "amazing father" ... as one fan found out while Yeezy was grabbing some ice cream.
The bizarre interaction went down Thursday in Calabasas, where Ye hit up an ice cream shop after a doctor's visit.
Kanye's licking his ice cream cone and answering a paparazzi's question about the death of fashion icon Andre Leon Talley ... when suddenly someone comes up and praises Kanye's father skills.
Ye perks up and gives the dude a fist bump, telling him he loves the praise and appreciates the recognition.
Kanye then gets behind the wheel of his whip ... which turns out to be a minivan!!!
Seems he's got plenty of room for North, Psalm, Saint and Chicago to ride in the back.
BTW ... Kanye just dropped a new song where he calls his kids spoiled, rapping about how they're being raised by nannies and TV cameras.

Kanye West I Had a Great Time at Chicago's Birthday Bash ... Thanks to Travis Scott Giving Me the Address
Kanye West was all smiles after attending his daughter Chicago's 4th birthday party, but there's some shade he's throwing in the process.
Kanye seemed thrilled he was able to show up to the shindig but said it was Travis Scott who told him the party was being thrown at Kylie's home. He also thanked Kris and Corey ... and Kylie for letting him in, but made no mention of Kim. He also groused that security stopped him briefly at the door.
He was clearly happy, saying his kids are the priority in his life ... and you can see and hear he really seems to mean it. We're told he spent about 2 hours there.
The party looked super fun, and Kanye is smiling as he chatted with some of the guests. You can see Kanye and Kim in the same shot, but they are not together.
As we reported, Kanye accused Kim earlier in the day of keeping him from seeing Chi on her birthday -- he says she refused to give him the address of the party -- and claimed it was an example of how fathers have been kept out of the family unit.
Our Kim sources say this was a simple case of crossed signals, and she never wanted to exclude him. The sources say Kim and Kanye discussed having 2 parties for Chicago, and Kanye was supposed to throw the second one after 4 PM when he picked her up.
All's well that ends well -- ish.

Kanye West Finally Lands at Chicago's Party ... After Public Accusations

Exclusive Details
- 16.8K shares
1:50 PM PT -- All's well that ends well (we think), because Kanye finally made it to Chicago's birthday party after all -- the result of what sounds like more of a mix-up than sabotage, as Ye suggested.
Sources close to the ex-couple tell TMZ ... Kanye was supposed to have Chicago all to himself at 4 PM today, so when he started railing about not being invited to her bday party with the Kardashians, Kim was surprised ... as we're told they'd previously discussed hosting two separate events for her, and she thought Kanye would be doing exactly that upon picking her up.
In any case, he's there now ... and even chatting up his mother-in-law, Kris, in what looks to be a somewhat cordial setting.
Kanye West is taking his bitter divorce with Kim Kardashian to a whole new level -- claiming she's purposely keeping him from seeing his daughter on her own birthday ... and doing it on video, no less.
Ye went live with a message Saturday -- the day of young Chicago's 4th birthday -- with a bold allegation ... namely, that Kim and co. are refusing to give him the address to Chicago's party, which has KW shaken up and almost on the verge of tears.
Check out the video ... the guy appears to be driving himself around town, seemingly in search of the shindig that he says will not be disclosed to him, no matter who he talks to.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
He notes he hasn't talked to Kim and/or her nannies ... but does say he's talked to Tristan Thompson, who apparently told Ye he'd have to run it by Khloe Kardashian first. As a result of what Kanye perceives as a snub, he's wishing Chicago a happy 4th birthday publicly.
He continues to go on a rant about how fathers have been kept out of the home/family unit for ages, and even with all his money ... he still finds himself in that position. However, Kanye says he's not going to let that happen if he can help it, asking for public support.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Some quick clarifying background on what's going on here and what's the latest ... sources tell us he felt excluded because the original invite he got was pretty vague, and did not include a specific location. With that said, we're told it's been sorted out ... and that Ye is actually on his way to the party now.
Still, this comes off as just the latest barb in Kanye and Kim's divorce war. We've been told Kim is trying to be reasonable with him about custody, and only asks for clear communication and scheduling.
Meanwhile, Kim posted a big birthday tribute for Chicago ... as did her mom, Kris Jenner.

Kanye West's New Song My Kids Are Spoiled ... And Raised by Nannies, Cameras!!!
Kanye West got a lot off his chest in his new song with The Game -- and most of it was aimed at his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian ... not to mention his own kids.
The track, "Eazy," dropped early Saturday, and as expected ... Ye laid into Pete Davidson. But that's not even the real takeaway in our minds -- indeed, he says he wants to beat PD's ass, but his main beef seems to be with Kim ... and how he thinks she's raising their brood.
Check out his verse for yourself ... it's scathing to say the least, almost like his own rap diss.
Right off the bat, Kanye says ... "How I ain't bring nothing to the table, when I'm the table?" ... going on to rap that he's going to "turn up the music, wake up the neighbors," among other incendiary lyrics. Sounds like Ye's not ready to put this matter to bed quietly.
He hits the point home even more so later, when he raps ... "N****, we havin' the best divorce ever // If we go to court, we'll go to court together // Matter of fact, pick up your sis, we'll go to Kourt's together."
There's more ... Kanye says he "watched four kids for like five hours today," echoing what he claimed to Hollywood Unlocked about allegedly being restricted from time with his children. But then, he goes for the jugular ... rapping, "I got love for the nannies, but real family is better // The cameras watch the kids, y'all stop takin' the credit."
Speaking of those kids (his kids) ... Kanye dishes a little truth medicine (in his mind, anyway). He raps, "When you give 'em everything, they only want more // Boujee and unruly, y'all need to do some chores // Rich-ass kids, this ain't yo mama house // Climb on your brother's shoulders, get that Top Ramen out."
Ye and Julia Fox for @InterviewMag. pic.twitter.com/uSs1Qsg7Ui

And, of course, the PD line everyone knew was coming ... "God saved me from that crash // Just so I can beat Pete Davidson's ass (Who?)." In the same breath, he shouts out his new GF, Julia Fox, rapping ... "And my new bitch bad // I know Illuminati mad."
The song is getting tons of love online, with people saying Kanye is back to rhyming like he used to during his 'College Dropout' days ... aka, the oh-so-toxic days.

Kim Kardashian Pete's Never Been to the House ... Ye Needs Boundaries!!!
Pete Davidson's never been to Kim Kardashian's house — despite what Kanye West might say — and there’s a simple reason for his limited access to her home ... boundaries.
Sources tell TMZ ... Ye's claim that PD was at Kim's house during the incident he described to Hollywood Unlocked is flat out false. We're told Pete was NOT there, nor was Kim ... she was at her office all day with her team.
While we weren’t given a definitive answer as to why Kanye may have been as restricted as he says, our sources did say this ... Kim's putting her foot down on letting Kanye come and go as he pleases, especially when it's at her property.
The reason, we're told, is because he's apparently made some people close to her -- including friends, fam and even staff -- upset during some of his recent visits. Unclear what exactly may have transpired or when, but we're told the incidents were serious enough for her to not let him have his run of the place when stopping by.
Bottom line ... Kim wants to create a more structured system between him, her and their kids -- which, we're told, would ideally involve Kanye calling ahead of time and scheduling things ... instead of him dropping in unannounced, presumably what he's been doing lately.
Our sources also say Kim's very disappointed by how Kanye's handling all this internal family stuff at the moment ... we're told she'd prefer to keep it private, and doesn't think it's good for the kids.
Speaking of the kids, one other point of clarification ... our sources tell us Pete hasn't met them before.

Sinead O'Connor Teenage Son Dead by Apparent Suicide ... Singer Blames Hospital
Sinead O'Connor's son has died, according to police ... it appears he took his own life, and Sinead is clearly angry at people who were in charge of taking care of the teen.
17-year-old Shane O'Connor apparently was on suicide watch in an Irish hospital just one day before he took his own life, but someone was able to leave. Sinead wrote the day before Shane's body was found, "Like, how has a seventeen-year-old traumatised young person WHO WAS ON SUICIDE WATCH in Tallaght Hospital's Lynn Ward been able to go missing???"
She went on ... "Hospital of course so far refusing to take any responsibility. Anything happens to my son on their watch? Lawsuits."
Police in Ireland issued this statement ... "Following the recovery of a body in the Bray area of Wicklow on Friday, 7th January 2022, a Missing Person Appeal in respect of Shane O’Connor, 17 years, has been stood down."
My beautiful son, Nevi’im Nesta Ali Shane O’Connor, the very light of my life, decided to end his earthly struggle today and is now with God. May he rest in peace and may no one follow his example. My baby. I love you so much. Please be at peace:
— Sinead The 1 And Only (@OhSineady) January 8, 2022 @OhSineady
Sinead's rep confirmed her son's death, and she posted the tragic news as well, saying, "My beautiful son, Nevi'im Nesta Ali Shane O’Connor, the very light of my life, decided to end his earthly struggle today and is now with God."
She goes on ... "May he rest in peace and may no one follow his example. My baby. I love you so much. Please be at peace:"
Police had been looking for Shane since Thursday, with Sinead pleading in a tweet, "Shane, your life is precious. God didn't chisel that beautiful smile on your beautiful face for nothing."
Her pleas got more desperate ... "This is a message for my son, Shane. Shane, it's not funny any more all this going missing. You are scaring the crap out of me. Could you please do the right thing and present yourself at a Gardai station. If you are with Shane please call the Gardai for his safety ... My world would collapse without you. You are my heart. Please don't stop it from beating. Please don't harm yourself. Go to the Gardai and let's get you to hospital."
The news has devastated the 55-year-old singer, who referenced a Bob Marley song ... "This is for my Shaney. The light of my life. The lamp of my soul. My blue-eye baby. You will always be my light. We will always be together. No boundary can separate us."
Shane's father is Donal Lunny, an Irish folk musician. He and Sinead are no longer together.
Shane was 17.
RIP
