Kanye West’s son Saint West has gone viral after appearing to be a spitting image of his father.
Ye’s 7-year-old son was caught on camera as he and his mom Kim Kardashian posed for photos while attending Paris Saint-Germain’s soccer game against Rennes on Sunday (March 19) at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, France.

In the video, Saint is seen smiling widely for the camera before noticing that he was also being filmed, at which point his smile turns into a deep grimace, which has been a go-to facial expression of Kanye’s for years.
The moment was soundtracked by Ye’s “No More Parties In LA,” specifically the prescient lyrics: “I be worried about my daughter, I be worried about Kim/ But Saint is baby Ye, I ain’t worried about him.”
Saint has remained an avid soccer fan for years, with Kanye and Kim regularly attending his games over the years. Last October, however, last October the Yeezy mogul was seen getting into a heated argument with another parent at one of Saint’s games before storming off the field.
In the footage obtained by TMZ, Ye can be seen engaged in a conversation with someone before a parent says something to him. The rapper appears to say something back as he starts walking off toward another section of the park.

The incident occurred mere weeks after Ye attended his daughter North’s basketball game wearing a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt, which stirred outrage among the parents.
In other Kanye news, the Donda hitmaker recently defaulted after failing to respond to a lawsuit that accused him of sampling a Boogie Down Productions track without permission.

The suit involved the pioneering Hip Hop group’s 1986 song “South Bronx,” which was sampled on the Donda bonus track “Life of the Party” featuring André 3000.
Phase One Network, which owns the copyright for “South Bronx,” sued West, Kano Computing (the company behind the Donda-affiliated Stem Player), Def Jam Recordings and others for copyright infringement last year.
The company claimed Ye never cleared the “South Bronx” sample, and said a clearance agent sent a request to Phase One in July 2021 before retracting it in November 2021. Ye reportedly went ahead and released the track on the Stem Player anyway.
According to documents obtained by AllHipHop, the Clerk of Court for the Southern District of New York submitted an entry of default in the case on March 8. Phase One requested an entry of default in January.

“I, Ruby J. Krajick, Clerk of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, do hereby certify that this action was commenced on November 7, 2022 with the filing of a summons and complaint, a copy of the summons and complaint was served on defendant Ye … by delivery of a true copy of each to Defendant Ye, and proof was therefore filed on January 26, 2023,” the filing read.
“I further certify that the docket entries indicate that Defendant Ye has failed to plead or otherwise defend the action. The default of Defendant Ye is hereby noted.”

Phase One’s attorneys additionally wrote in the lawsuit, “The West parties retracted the licensing request despite having already incorporated ‘South Bronx’ into the Infringing Track, distributed the infringing track through the Stem Player and its associated website, and incorporated the Infringing Track into the Infringing Advertisements.”
Kanye West’s “Life of the Party” was leaked by Drake in September 2021 during their high-profile feud, before being added to the deluxe edition of Donda later that year.
