Kanye West‘s eight-year-old son Saint seems to really be taking his early basketball training seriously, as evidence by his recent excellent performance in an all-star game.
Kim Kardashian took to Instagram on Saturday (February 24) to share some clips of the former couple’s oldest son. The videos show Saint going the length of the court, even pulling off an impressive spin move, and making couple of clean shots.
Kardashian commented on the video: “Saint made the All Star team [comet emoji] They won and he played so good”

Though it was Kim that posted the video, many people have pointed out the similarities between Saint and his father.
Last year, a video featuring the boy went viral after he appeared to be a spitting image of his father.
Ye’s son was caught on camera as he and Kim Kardashian posed for photos while attending Paris Saint-Germain’s soccer game against Rennes 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.”
The Kardashian West family haven’t always been the best role models at their children’s sporting events.
Back in 2022, 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 was seen engaged in a conversation with someone before a parent said something to him. The rapper appeared to say something back as he started 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, he and Ty Dolla $ign recently found a way — at least for now — to circumvent a publishing hurdle that got one of their songs taken down from Spotify.
“Good (Don’t Die)” was originally released as part of Vultures 1 and subsequently taken down from the Swedish streaming platform due to issues surrounding sample clearance. Over the weekend, the track was re-uploaded on the service.
The credits on the latest version of the song, however, are quite confusing as they list RichYeRich as the performer, Brian Jamoe as the writer, and no producer. Furthermore, the source is cited as DarkSide LLC, which there are no traces of online.
