Arenas said, “When it comes to the child support in those two, its like, what does she need the $200,000 for? You know he’s gonna be there as a father, she’s a billionaire, and he’s a billionaire. What’s the point?”

He also added how Kim makes ‘too much money’ in order to be asking for child support. The couple has 4 kids, North, Chicago, Saint, and Psalm after 8 years of marriage. Kanye’s child support will cover the children’s security, schooling, and college as they will be spending the majority of their time with Kim Kardashian.
