Kanye West says he takes issue with Kim Kardashian's claim that the rapper's «been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private matters and co-parenting on social media,» because he says she can't prove he wrote the social media posts.According to new legal documents, obtained by ET, the rapper claims Kim's allegations of «misinformation» is «double hearsay.» He claims that his estranged wife, for starters, never bothered to attached the said social media posts to her declaration and «Kim needed to offer the social media posts into evidence» as well as «show that the posts were written by Kanye.»The rapper claims that had that been done, «the posts would be admissible as statements» but since Kim didn't submit the social media posts in her declaration, it's therefore not in the record. And as such, West wants Kim's «misinformation» statement to be inadmissible at a hearing next week when a judge is set to decide whether to grant Kim's request that she be declared legally single.Kim filed legal docs earlier this week saying Kanye's «misinformation» campaign on social media «has created emotional distress.» Among some of those posts includes attacking her boyfriend, Pete Davidson.
