KANYE WEST'S SON SAINT NICKNAMES HIMSELF 'MINI KOBE' AHEAD OF LATEST BASKETBALL WIN

Kanye West‘s son, Saint West, has inherited his father’s confidence, dubbing himself a “mini Kobe Bryant” right before he won on the basketball court.

Saint’s mother, Kim Kardashian, posted her son’s game-winning basket on Saturday (April 13) to her Instagram stories.

Following the just-under-the-buzzer score, Kardashian posted a photo of the little one’s sneakers, upon which he inscribed “mini Kobe” on the sole, a reference to the late Los Angeles Lakers player.

Check it out below.

 

Saint West — who is one of the four children Ye shares with his now ex-wife — has always seemed to have an affinity for sports.

Back in March 2023, Ye’s then 7-year-old son was caught on camera as he and his mom Kim Kardashian posed for photos while attending Paris Saint-Germain’s soccer game against Rennes at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, France.

In the video, Saint is seen smiling widely for the camera before noticing that he was also being filmed, at which point his smile turns into a deep grimace, which has been a go-to facial expression of Kanye’s for years.

The moment was soundtracked by Ye’s “No More Parties In LA,” specifically the prescient lyrics: “I be worried about my daughter, I be worried about Kim/ But Saint is baby Ye, I ain’t worried about him.”

Saint has remained an avid soccer fan for years, with Kanye and Kim regularly attending his games over the years. Last October, however, last October the Yeezy mogul was seen getting into a heated argument with another parent at one of Saint’s games before storming off the field.

In the footage obtained by TMZ, Ye can be seen engaged in a conversation with someone before a parent says something to him. The rapper appears to say something back as he starts walking off toward another section of the park.

The incident occurred mere weeks after Ye attended his daughter North’s basketball game wearing a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt, which stirred outrage among the parents.

Saint West also inherited his father’s antipathy for the paparazzi, as he demonstrated with his now-infamous one-finger salute back in September 2023.

Saint and his mother were followed by media photographers as they were heading into an Island Burgers outlet after the kid’s basketball game. As the pair was approached, the boy smilingly showed the cameras his middle finger.

Kardashian was visibly displeased with this gesture as she was seen covering her child’s face with her hand as a way of scolding him. Whereas she has spent years in the spotlight, negotiating with the paparazzi, her children are only now learning how to navigate their way past it.

Fat Joe has controversially compared Chris Brown to 2Pac following the singer’s scathing attack on Quavo on “Weakest Link.”

Discussing the beef between the two on Instagram Live on Thursday (April 25), Joe said: “Of course, the 2Pac of 2024 has to be Chris Brown. Chris Brown is considered an alien. If you playing basketball, he’ll bust your ass. If you sing against him, he sing better, he dance better. If he gotta rap, he raps.

“Like, that’s battle rap. Chris Brown, that’s the one I been listening to,” he added, referencing the other high-profile feuds that have exploded in recent weeks involving Drake, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Kanye West, Future, Rick Ross and Metro Boomin.
