IN ‘PAIN’: Kanye West, 45, claims divorce was hard

In true Kanye West style, the controversial US rapper has compared his divorce to the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

DEAD: Queen Elizabeth II

Ye claimed losing his own “queen” has given him an understanding of how the British feel after the death of the 96-year-old monarch earlier this month.

He wrote on Instagram using his signature all-capital letter style: “London I know how you feel. I lost my queen too.”

Shortly after Buckingham Palace announced the death of ou Elizabeth, West claimed the historical moment had given him a new perspective and he vowed to “release all grudges”.

He shared photos of the monarch when she was younger and captioned his post: “Life is precious. Releasing all grudges today. Leaning into the light.”

Last week, the 45-year-old rapper also apologised for causing Kim any “stress”.

He said: “This is the mother of my children. I apologise for any stress that I have caused.”

West has often turned to social media to discuss his issues with his ex – including repeated criticism of her then-berk Pete Davidson.

But the Bound 2 hitmaker rubbished the suggestion that social media is inherently negative. Asked if Instagram and Twitter are more “hurtful or beneficial” overall, he replied: “Oh, that’s one of my favourite questions.

“I mean, we can use a car to rush somebody to a hospital, or we could use a car and accidentally hit somebody while we’re rushing somebody to the hospital. So it’s all in how we use it.”
