Kanye West shared an emotional video on social media in which he claimed he "wasn't allowed to know" the location of his daughter Chicago's birthday party.
West - who shares Chicago and three other children with his estranged wife Kim Kardashian - made the allegations as he drove around town, seemingly in search of the party.
Amid their divorce proceedings, the rapper claimed he was not invited to celebrate Chicago's fourth birthday at Kim's sister Kylie Jenner's house.
In the video shared online, the rapper - who changed his official name to Ye last year - got candid with his followers.
"I'm just wishing my daughter a public happy birthday. I wasn't allowed to know where her party was," he said in the video.
"There's nothing legal that saying that this is the kind of games that's being played, it's the kind of thing that really has affected my health for the longest and I'm just not playing, I'm taking control of my narrative this year.
"I was supposed to be in Miami recording my album. My whole schedule is all based around on me being able to take my kids to school, me being there for them, making sure that I'm in their life, that's the whole point, I have the money they take so many fathers just throughout America, they've been taking the fathers out of homes purposely so I'm speaking up, I'm using my voice to say, 'This ain't going to keep happening, this narrative and that... happened.'"
"It's a lot of people that's not in a position where they ain't got no voice when people be playing games like this, baby mamas be playing games, the grandmas will be playing games like this, and it's like as y'all know, that ain't going to play like that with me," he added.
Kardashian didn't publicly respond to the drama on social media, but instead uploaded a sweet birthday tribute.
"My birthday baby girl Chi Chi turns 4 today! My independent baby girl twin. You are the most lovable huggable snuggable baby girl on the planet," she captioned a slideshow of photos with her youngest daughter.
She added: "The ultimate princess! I can’t wait to celebrate with all of the Barbies and LOL Dolls a girl could dream of lol. You really have brought so much joy into our family and I love you so so soooo much!!!!"
Later on in the day, Kanye shared another video on social media thanking rapper Travis Scott - who is expecting his second child with Jenner - for letting him know the address of the party.
Kanye managed to come along and spend the bash with his youngest daughter.
