Kanye West – who is now legally known as Ye – has reiterated that he is still married to Kim Kardashian despite rumours she is dating again.
The 44-year-old rapper opens up about his life – notably his impending divorce from the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star – on an upcoming Drink Champs podcast which seemed to be recorded last month judging by his haircut.
In the interview, he spoke about his new album Donda, his career, his estranged wife, amongst other things.

Ye appears to be still be hanging on to hope of a reconciliation with Kim, something which had earlier been suggested.
In a short clip for the podcast, the Gold Digger rapper is heard saying the couple are still married. He called her “my wife,” adding “Because she’s still my wife. There ain’t no paperwork.”

Though the duo are still in an ongoing divorce row, his assertion is technically legal because the separation proceedings isn’t final yet.
Kim filed for divorce in February but the pair have been supportive of each other’s career since.
The reality TV star, 41, appeared at several of the singer’s album listening parties ahead of the launch of his album titled Donda.
In one, she even dressed in a wedding gown and joined his estranged husband on stage.
Ye, in turn, was also with Kim at New York, when she did her first hosting gig at the Saturday Night Live show.

Kardashian, 40, and Ye, 44, have been putting on a united front throughout their divorce, especially when it comes to their four kids — North, 8, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2 — and their work.
However, she has since been romantically linked with Saturday Night Live comedian, Pete Davidson and was spotted going to dinner with the 27-year-old for the “second night in a row” this week.
According to TMZ, the pair “joined a group of friends for dinner” at social club Zero Bond last night – though Kim and Pete are said to have “arrived separately” at the venue.
It comes after Kim and Pete’s staged kiss on Saturday Night Live show, in which Kanye reportedly had a “jealous tantrum” after watching.
In the skit of the Disney movie, Pete took on the role of Aladdin, who on a magic carpet ride with Princess Jasmine (Kim) confessed his fears about having sex with her.
After comforting him and including a few strange SNL-style jokes, Kim and Pete shared a kiss. The audience was eating up every second of it but Kanye didn’t appear to be impressed.
An insider close to Kanye said;
He’s pretending he’s cool with it. But he stormed off when he saw how well Kim and Pete were getting on behind the scenes.
He’s not ranting or raging, but he definitely found it embarrassing to see them kissing in front of him and the whole world, even if they were just acting.
Recent news on their separation revealed that Kim bought the Hidden Hills Estate she shared with Ye for $23m as part of their divorce.
However, no further news has been heard about their divorce.
