In his interview with Good Morning America, Kanye also expressed his belief that his voice, as his children’s father, has been stifled.

“I do have a voice, but I had to fight for it.

“I’m their dad. It has to be co-parenting. It’s not up to only the woman. Like, men have a choice also. Men’s voices matter.”

In addition, he said that as a dad and as a Christian he has a right to have a voice on what his kids are wearing, what they’re watching and what they’re eating.

“I have a platform where I get to say what so many dads can’t say out loud,” he added.
