With the Stateside undergoing a massive political whirlwind that has made even the biggest stars endorse their picks for the upcoming run, Ye aka Kanye West has found himself in the opposite way. Although he may not have troubled himself this time to declare his choice for the presidential election, publicly, his 8-year-old son, Saint West has done something similar to fill in for his dad, only with a nod of controversy amidst the already blinding chaos.

While 8 years old might not seem like the prime age for making political statements, Saint may have practically inherited his dad's flair for stirring up controversy by pulling off the completely unexpected.

Ye's children often express themselves through music and fashion in ways that echo their father's creative spirit. However, given Mr. West's unpredictable nature, they may have inherited more than just talent. Recently, Saint West sparked a buzz on social media with a YouTube Shorts video featuring an image of Democratic leader Kamala Harris, overlaid with meme cut-outs and captions that contrast with the typical praises of her supporters.

The first label popped up as "dumb," followed by "stupid" for the second, "crazy" as the third, and "dangerous" for the fourth. While the most Ye himself has done recently was to appear at a Donald Trump rally in Beverly Hills, causing friction with his wife Bianca Censori's friends, his 8-year-old son might have ventured a bit far by stepping into a scene outside his usual interests. But with the reach of social media, it might not take long before this sparks even more drama.

Although Saint West's YouTube channel has stirred up controversy over the type of content, he might post as an 8-year-old, the contract between him and his mother says something different.

In September, Kim Kardashian took to her X handle to correct a major publication that cited her son, Saint West’s YouTube channel’s approval contract as a “joke” to clarify it was anything but that. Kardashian and Saint West reportedly had a handwritten agreement dated September 3 that outlines the rules he must follow to maintain the channel. The rules include not sharing personal family information, not recording North West while she makes music, and not filming sensitive content.

The contract also reportedly requires Kardashian to review the videos he uploads on his channel. Although a failure in compliance could get his account made private or deleted, it remains to be seen how the protective mama handles the political storm Saint West just set off with his YouTube antics.
