Kanye West gushed he is 'so close' to his four kids North, eight, Saint, five, Chicago, four and Psalm, two, since splitting with Kim Kardashian.

While navigating the end of his nearly seven-year marriage, the 44-year-old performer opened up prioritizing family time and pushing himself to be the 'best father.'

'My solace comes from seeing my kids and getting a solid schedule,' the Gold Digger rapper said on Monday's episode of "Hollywood Unlocked

He continued: 'That's why I even got the house… Nothing with my career, with this rap, with this media, with none of that [is] gonna keep me from my children.' 

Speaking of his decision to purchase a mansion across the street from his estranged wife, West raved his little ones are 'literally going to be in walking distance' from him, at all times.  

Elsewhere in the interview, West let the Kardashians know that nothing would come between him and his youngsters as he sat down with Jason Lee.

The 22-time Grammy winner sent a warning to the famous family about his kids — following a bizarre security issue where he confided in social media that he almost missed Chicago's birthday party two weeks ago.

Lee suggested there shouldn't be any drama when it comes to co-parenting, but Kanye, who legally changed his name to Ye, cautioned the reality stars instead - before slamming Kim for 'making jokes' on SNL about their split.

He said of the media savvy family's expectations: '...And to participate without no noise,' he said. 'Cause they can go on SNL and make jokes. They can make jokes in the media. They can plant stories about whoever I'm dating whatever they want to do. They can block deals they could do all that type of stuff.'

He added: 'But I'mma tell you straight up, don't play with my kids.

'Don't play with my kids. Whoever y'all work for, whoever y'all think the family is working for, I'm telling you right now, don't play with my children. And it's going to be all legal. It's going to be all legal, baby.' 

During Kim's SNL appearance, she said, to Kanye's ire: 'I've been very blessed in this life, and I'm grateful for everything, honestly, all the ups, all the downs. I mean, I married the best rapper of all time. Not only that, he's the richest Black man in America, a talented, legit genius, who gave me four incredible kids.'

She continued: 'So when I divorced him, you have to know it came down to just one thing: his personality. I know it sounds mean, but people keep telling me that comedy comes from truth. And if there's one thing that I always strive to be, it's genuine.'

The Power rapper noted that he would remain calm and wouldn't allow anyone to manipulate his story - before adding the family were trying to 'antagonise him' over the children.

'You ain't finna gaslight me, it's going to be calm like this,' he said. 'But that's not what we finna play.'  

'And to participate without no noise,' he said. 'Cause they can go on SNL and make jokes. They can make jokes in the media. They can plant stories about whoever I'm dating whatever they want to do. They can block deals they could do all that type of stuff.'

He also seemed particularly upset about how Kim's security allegedly won't let him see their kids.

'So it's 3 a.m., I just got off the phone with my cousins who I had directed to sit down and meet with Kim because earlier this week when I went to go pick my kids up from school, the security stopped me at the gate,' he revealed.

'So, at that point the security was between me and my children and that was what was not gonna happen,' he stated.

The issue came to a head when North asked Kanye to come inside and he was once again stopped by security.

'I'm driving them as I bring them back and North is like 'I
