KANYE West has launched his own desires to “take his kids to space.”

The idea was floated amid the rapper’s custody battle with ex Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Pete Davidson’s pulling out of his space mission recently.

A source told Hollywood Life on Sunday that Kanye, 44, has discussed a rocket launch with Space-X’s Elon Musk.

“Kanye and Elon have talked about taking a space flight together,” they said.

The insider continued: “But there has not been discussions on an exact date or exact time to do it.

“They are friends and talk about everything but they don’t have set plans to go together, although the discussion has been had.”

Elon attended Kanye’s Donda 2 listening party in Miami last month.

And just days ago, Pete, 28, canceled his mission on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin after the flight was postponed; it was originally booked for March 23 but moved.

The source added: “Kanye is not exactly jealous of Pete going to space but when and if he does, he doesn’t want it to look like he is copying Pete.”

“He’d want to perform or do something completely out of the box …” they added, for instance, a “listening party in space.”

The insider continued: “He also would like to add his kids to the potential trip.

“He wants to make it as unique as possible and not have it just be a ten-minute flight. … It wouldn’t be about competition with Pete.”

A close source to Kim, 41, additionally told the outlet that she is staying out of the space race for now.

“Though Kim thinks it would be lots of fun to go into space, as a mother she is choosing not to because she is very superstitious and would never want to have anything go wrong.”

“It’s as simple as that,” they alleged, on Kim’s grounded stance against “any space flights … ever.”

PETE’S PLANETARY REPLACEMENT?

When the Saturday Night Live star announced he was pulling out of Blue Origin’s upcoming space flight last week, some wanted Kanye to fill in even before his otherworldly supposed discussions.

Due to scheduling commitments, Pete couldn’t make the new date of March 29th.

The company shared to Twitter three days ago: “Blue Origin’s 20th flight of New Shepard has shifted to Tuesday, March 29.

“Pete Davidson is no longer able to join the NS-20 crew on this mission.”

They teased: “We will announce the sixth crew member in the coming days.”

After the news broke last night, Kanye’s fans took to social media to beg for him to be that sixth crew member.

Other passengers in the small space capsule include Party America’s CEO Marty Allen and Dr. George Nield who is president of Commercial Space Technologies.

KANYE SETS PHASERS TO ‘SKETE’

The reaction comes as the two stars are currently locked in a bitter feud ever since Pete started dating Kanye’s reality icon ex.

The hitmaker has done everything from calling Pete a “d**khead,” to threatening to “beat his a**”, and accusing him of attempting to “destroy” his family.

Kanye even “kidnapped and buried” Pete’s character alive in the animated music video of his song Eazy; a project which he has defended despite wide criticism.

Just this week Kanye was banned from Instagram for at least 24 hours for lashing out at Trevor Noah with a racial slur.

The temporary ban came after a marathon of threats towards his ex and Pete.

It also saw a leaked harsh text exchange between the two.

Pete allegedly wrote in part, “I’ve decided I’m not gonna let you treat us this way anymore and I’m done being quiet. Grow the f**k up.”

Kanye appeared to respond: “Oh you using profanity. What are you doing right now?”

Pete replied: “In bed with your wife,” and shared a shirtless photo of himself laying down.

“Happy to see you’re out the hospital and rehab,” Kanye responded, referring to Pete’s past battles with mental health and substance abuse.

CUSTODY WAR

The Sun exclusively previously revealed that Kanye “wants to go for full custody of his kids” despite his Instagram outbursts claiming his ex Kim “is never around.”

The source said: “Kanye wants to go for full custody of the children.

“People close to him were pretty shocked and have been trying to persuade him not to, but he is adamant that he wants the kids full time.

“He believes Kim is away a lot working and spending time with Pete and that he’d be a better parent.”

“No one thinks it’s likely he would win full custody,” they concluded.

After nearly seven years of marriage, Kim filed for divorce from her former husband back in February 2021.

The former couple share four kids: North, eight; Saint, six; Chicago, four; and Psalm, two.
