Kanye West sobs he’s ‘losing his family’ in emotional new track Love Unconditionally amid Kim Kardashian divorce

KANYE West sobbed that he was "losing his family" while performing his emotional new track, Love Unconditionally.

The rapper - who is in the midst of divorce from Kim Kardashian - covered his face and fell to his knees while playing the song at the launch event for his new album, Donda.

Kanye, 44, wore a balaclava and an all-red outfit as he repeatedly said: "I'm losing my family / I'm losing my family / I'm losing my family."

His late mother Donda - who the album is named after - could also be heard in the song saying, "No matter what you never abandon your family."

Kim and their four children - North, eight, Saint, five, Chicago, three, and Psalm two - sat in the audience at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, as the emotional song played.

Kanye reportedly told Kim about the personal nature of Love Unconditionally before his performance as he didn't want to "blindside" the KUWTK star.

"Kanye did write a song about Kim and their marriage and Kim gave her input about it," an insider told E! News.

"He was respectful and gave her the heads up, and did not want to blindside her."

The source added that Kanye is keen to keep their family as a "unit" - despite him being based at his Wyoming ranch and Kim and the kids staying at their Hidden Hills mansion.

"Kanye respects Kim a lot and wants to keep the family unit. Now that they have had space, Kim feels relieved that they can be cordial and spend time together for the sake of the kids," the insider claimed.

Kim appeared to pay tribute to the song Love Unconditionally in her Father's Day post to Kanye on June 20 - four months after she filed for divorce.

 "Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads in our lives! Love you unconditionally!!!" she wrote alongside photos of Kanye with their kids.

The Sun exclusively revealed on Monday that Kanye also broke down in tears after playing a song about his divorce from Kim at a Donda listening party.

EMOTIONAL LAUNCH

His new track Welcome to my Life includes lyrics about his tough last two years, which included his split from the reality star, a meltdown on Twitter and his failed bid to become US President.

In the song, he likens his and Kim’s marital home in Calabasas, LA, to jail, rapping: “Tell the assassins I escaped from Calabasas.”

A source at the listening party in Las Vegas, said: “It’s a very deep, sad song about Kanye, with him reflecting on his marriage with Kim.

“He talks about the kids and mentions her taking everything. After he played this song he paused for like, two minutes, and cried. It was really sombre.”

Kanye held the party for his tenth album, Donda at the US city’s ChurchLV, for Christians.

After multiple delays, he revealed Donda will be available to stream at midnight on July 23.

Earlier this week, he shared a music video for the song No Child Left Behind that featured track star Sha'Carri Richardson - who can't be with Team USA at the Olympics after testing positive for THC.

The running star starred in a Beats by Dre commercial for the song during the NBA finals Tuesday night.

In Kanye's video, Sha'Carri, 21, worked up a sweat as Kanye sang: “He’s done miracles on me.”
