KANYE KEEP QUIET?
Ban on rapping about marriage TV show ‘to give inside track’
KANYE West could be banned from rapping about Kim Kardashian as part of their £1.6billion divorce.
Sources say the couple’s settlement is set to include a gagging clause to stop him spilling the beans – including in his hip hop hits.
An insider said: “One big negotiation they have to sort out is what they can and can’t say about each other.”
But another source hinted their drama WILL be played out for millions – on Kim’s reality hit Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which gets its final airing this year.
Kim let cameras follow her as she tried to save their relationship over the last nine months. Kanye is not expected to feature in many scenes.
The couple stunned fans around the globe when their split was revealed last month after almost seven years of marriage.
The source continued: “Everything in Kim’s life has been documented on camera and this is no different – except great lengths will be made to protect Kanye. It will be a very emotional series, with the focus mainly on Kim’s journey.
“Their marriage has run its course, but their friendship and commitment to their kids has not.”
Kim, 40 – who filed papers on Friday at Los Angeles County Superior Court – wants joint custody of their four children. The couple have a prenuptial agreement but have still to divide up their property empire.
Kim is understood to want their mansion in Calabasas, California, while Kanye, 43, may base himself at their £10million ranch in Wyoming.
A source said: “So far they’ve both been amicable about their assets.”
According to business magazine Forbes, Kim is worth about £660million while Kanye has a £952million fortune – much of it from his Yeezy clothing collaboration with adidas.
Kim’s KKW Beauty line is also very lucrative. Sources say she has “grown up a lot” in the past year and wants to pursue a legal career.
The couple’s struggles became public last year as Kanye ran for US President, and Kim was said by one insider to be “trying to decide what to do to protect the kids [and] her sanity.”
Representatives of the couple did not respond to requests for comment.
BRAVE Nathaniel Nabena has said a heartfelt thank-you to Sunday People readers backing his desperate fight with leukaemia.
The nine-year-old is “so grateful” to those who donated to his family’s £825,000 appeal for last-chance treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital, his dad Ebisidor said.
Generous readers rushed to get involved after we told how the Nigerian lad is ineligible for NHS hospital care.
He travelled to the UK to have a prosthetic left eye fitted after his was removed in his home country due to cancer.
But the op was put on hold when he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in November.
Since then he has had medication at a relative’s home in Croydon, South London.
The family’s fundraiser is set to hit £70,000 ahead of a meeting tomorrow with medics from Croydon University Hospital and Great Ormond Street to decide on the next steps.
Ebisidor, 45, said: “The support has been overwhelming and means so much – God bless everyone who has donated. “Nathaniel is sitting up and says thank you, too. We have hope but I am
trapped between great difficulties. All I need is for my son to get treatment. AML is so aggressive.”
Without a stem cell transplant Nathaniel could die within days or weeks, Ebisidor says.
By law, NHS trusts can give non-uk residents free emergency care but must charge for ops if they are admitted to hospital.
Lawyers are set to ask the Home Office if the family can stay here on compassionate grounds. If they win, Nathaniel would be entitled to NHS care, Deji Sijuwade, of Alfred James Solicitors, said.
The firm’s senior partner explained: “It’s tricky given the rules and how strict they are. There is no way the family can afford £825,000.”
Nathaniel’s family – his dad, mum Modupe, 38, and sisters Nadia, 11, and Nicole, 20 months – are staying with him in Croydon.
Ebisidor, a business analyst, said: “I did not bring this child here sick. I would take him home to treat him if I could but there is nothing available. It has been a long, hard journey, but we will never give up fighting for him.”
Croydon Health Services NHS Trust said: “We are doing everything we can.”
Great Ormond Street Hospital said: “Our teams are working through what is in the best interests of the child.”
His family has spent £5,000 so far on his treatment since he was diagnosed with AML.
It’s been hard but we will never stop fighting

PRINCESS Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank beam as they show their 11-day old son to the world.
They chose the moment to reveal they have named him August Philip Hawke Brooksbank in a touching tribute to ailing Prince Philip.
In the picture, released by Buckingham Palace yesterday, August is held by a smiling Jack, 34.
Wrapped in a snug blue outfit, the couple’s first child, born 11th in line to the throne, has his eyes closed as he clutches his mum’s finger. Eugenie, 30, posted on Instagram: “Thank you for so many wonderful messages.”
August, who was born on February 9, is the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh’s ninth great-grandchild.
Yesterday Prince Charles, 72, visited his dad, 99, in hospital – and looked emotional as he was driven away.
It is understood he made the 100mile journey from his home in Highgrove, Gloucs, to London’s King Edward VII Hospital.
The Duke has been there since Tuesday. The hospital has only allowed visitors in “exceptional circumstances” because of Covid.
A Palace source said: “The Prince was visiting his father who has been in hospital for longer than expected.”
NO one expects the Government to get everything right but watching members make the same mistakes again and again has driven me up the wall.
Time and again, Boris Johnson was too slow to act on restrictions necessary to keep the coronavirus under control. As a result, we’ve had the worst recession of any major economy and the worst Covid-19 death toll in Europe – with well over 100,000 lives lost.
I don’t want to see our country locked down any longer than is necessary. Many of my immediate family work in retail and have been furloughed. It’s been tough.
Mr Johnson must learn from his mistakes and let scientists, not Tory MPS, plan the way out of restrictions.
And in the meantime, let’s give workers and businesses the support they need.

Dales star got tips from sis PREGNANT Kimberley Walsh gave her soap star sister lessons on childbirth.
The ex-girls Aloud singer helped talk actress Amy through her pregnancy storyline on Emmerdale.
Viewers will see Amy’s character Tracy Metcalfe giving birth to a girl in the ITV soap next week.
“I wanted it look as authentic as possible,” said Amy, 33, who has no children of her own.
“I sent a blanket text out saying, ‘Guys, I’m giving birth tomorrow. Any tips?’ A few funny ones came back. One said, ‘Pretend you’ve been hit by a bus and you’re being dragged down the street’.”
Kimberley, 39 – who is expecting her third child with husband Justin Scott this summer – shared a few pearls of wisdom.
Amy said: “When my sister gave birth, the midwife would shout at her, ‘Chin on chest’. Little things like that make it more real.
“Kimberley also told me it’s all in the breathing and using your breath to get through the contractions.” Amy, who is reportedly dating Eastenders actor Tobyalexander Smith, says she really got into the pregnancy scenes and loved wearing a fake bump.
She said: “There’s something quite comforting about it. People would look at you in a different way, too. Everyone’s nicer to you when you’re fake pregnant!”
Amy added: “Tracy’s clothes are usually quite tight – I’m not looking forward to getting back into the skin-tight jeans.”
Emmerdale fans will next week see Amy’s character Tracy go into labour two weeks early. But there will be no baby cuddles on set, due to Covid-19 restrictions.
“It’s heartbreaking,” said Amy. “I was so excited to have a little baby on set but we handled a jelly baby.
“They have done shots of a baby in the real mother’s arms with my clothes on. We’ve not had the privilege of cuddling her yet.”
The actress, whose other sister Sally, 43, has three sons, said she would love to start a family of her own. But she added: “It needs to be the right time for me and hopefully it will be one day.”
