The Donda rapper, Kanye West has instructed his attorneys to expedite his divorce from Kim Kardashian following weeks of vicious attacks on the celebrity.

Kanye 44, and KUWTK star, 41, are set to face off in a court "showdown" on Wednesday.

But after initially objecting to Kim's filing to be legally single, it appears Kanye has had a change of heart.

A day before their court appearance, the musician revealed he wants to get their divorce over and done with so he can focus on their four kids.

"I've asked my team to expedite the dissolution of my marriage to Kim so I can put my entire attention into our beautiful children," Kanye told Hollywood Unlocked on Tuesday.

They have four children together - daughters North, eight, and Chicago, four, and sons Saint, six, and Psalm, two.

Kanye had objected to Kim's desire to be legally single out of concerns the star may move some of their assets to her separate accounts if she decides to remarry.

His new outlook on their divorce comes one week after Kim said she feels "emotionally distressed" by his tantrums on social media

While once again begging a judge to declare her legally single, she said there is "no way to repair their marriage" and that Kanye is deliberately trying to make it "difficult" for her to remarry.

"I very much desire to be divorced," Kim said in a petition obtained by TMZ.
