The controversial rapper is also said to be trying his best not to be dragged into Sean 'Diddy' Combs' legal mess, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

West, who is married to Bianca Censori, has barely stepped foot in the U.S. in the last eight months. However, one source claims: "Kanye's reasoning for not being [in America] has nothing to do with his children and has everything to do with the multiple lawsuits that he is facing in the states."

The 47-year-old and ex-wife Kim Kardashian share four kids: North, 11; Saint, nine; Chicago, six; and Psalm, five.

In May, the hitmaker and Censori traveled from Tuscany to Paris, and then to Russia the following month. His brief outings in the states included a trip to Los Angeles for a family party in August. West is now said to be living in Tokyo.
