“Kim Kardashian Takes Subtle Swipe at Kanye West as She Shares ‘Exhilarating’ Post-Divorce Update”
Kim Kardashian is opening up about life after her headline-making split from Kanye West — and she’s not holding back. In a new interview and social media post, the 44-year-old reality star and business mogul shared an “exhilarating” update about her post-divorce chapter, sprinkling in what many fans are interpreting as a subtle jab at her ex-husband.
Kardashian, who finalized her divorce from the rapper in late 2022 after a long and contentious legal battle, revealed that she now feels “lighter” and “more in control” than she has in years. “It’s exhilarating to know that I can wake up and decide what my day looks like without anyone trying to dictate my choices,” she said. The pointed phrasing immediately caught attention, with many believing it was a reference to Kanye’s well-documented history of dominating not only the marriage but also public narratives surrounding it.
The SKIMS founder emphasized that her focus is now squarely on her children — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm — as well as on her booming business empire. “I’m building something lasting for my kids. That’s my priority now,” she said. “They deserve stability and love, not chaos.” Fans were quick to highlight the word “chaos,” interpreting it as a swipe at West’s turbulent personal and professional controversies in recent years.
Kardashian also used the opportunity to speak about her evolving identity outside of her marriage. “For so long, I was seen through someone else’s lens. Now, I’m defining myself on my own terms,” she said. “That’s both scary and exhilarating — but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
The comments immediately sparked conversation online. Supporters praised Kardashian for reclaiming her independence, while others accused her of continuing to publicly stir drama with her ex. “She could just focus on herself without dragging Kanye into it,” one critic wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another fan countered: “She’s not dragging him, she’s being honest about her experience. This is her truth.”
It’s not the first time Kardashian has been perceived as shading West since the divorce. She has previously hinted at the challenges of co-parenting with him, telling interviewers that it’s “not always easy” when one parent lives life so publicly and controversially. Still, she has also made a point of praising Kanye as a father, calling him “the best dad” to their children in earlier interviews.
Industry watchers note that Kardashian is entering what appears to be a new era — one where she is leaning into independence and empowerment while carefully balancing the demands of motherhood and celebrity. With SKIMS recently expanding into men’s lines and her continued presence in television and fashion, her star shows no sign of fading.
As for West, who has kept a relatively low profile in recent months following several controversies, he has not responded to Kardashian’s latest remarks. But if history is any guide, it may only be a matter of time before he offers his own take.
For now, Kardashian seems focused on enjoying the thrill of freedom — and making it clear she has no regrets about moving on.
