Kanye West has been seen with his kids for the first time since his ex-wife Kim Kardashian described herself as a 'single parent'.
The rapper was photographed in Japan with his three youngest kids - 9-year-old Saint, 6-year-old Chicago, and 5-year-old Psalm. The family were seen visiting a 7-Eleven in the Ginza district of Tokyo.
After perusing the aisles, the party of four left with bags full of snacks, as reported by Page Six.

Before this outing, West hadn't been seen with his kids in four months. It's unknown if eldest child North joined her family for the excursion.
The 47-year-old Yeezy designer has been living a nomadic lifestyle with his current wife Bianca Censori for the past few months. They've been moving between cities in Asia and the Middle East.
Back in the States, West's ex wife Kim Kardashian had been forced to evacuate her home due to the LA fires. The two shared four children during their marriage which lasted from 2014 to 2022. Since they split, things have been strained between the two.
The SKIMS founder admitted that her ex hadn't been as present as she would have liked. She said this made her feel like a single parent who was 'alone' when it came to child-rearing. This heartbreaking admission came during an appearance on Zoe Winkler's What in the Winkler? podcast back in November.
Kardashian said: "I think you and I've mostly connected on parenting.
"And judgment, and feeling like sometimes you're in this alone, even though we have great support systems and we have people around us."
She continued: "But sometimes in the middle of the night, when they're all sleeping in your bed kicking you and crying and waking up - it’s not something that I talk about a lot because I feel like there is always a lot of judgment or people always will jump to the, 'Oh, but you have the resources to have nannies and to have help'.
"And I just think that no matter what kind of help I have, basically raising four kids by myself."
In the interview, she also shared a look into her morning routine as a parent.
She said: "I mean even carpool this morning, I had five kids that I had to take. And everyone wants to leave at like different times or wants different stuff. And I feel like I'm at like a pit stop of a race car driver."
That'll be an experience most parents can relate to.
