I’m not sure if Kanye West appearance on the Kris show was a publicity move given his recent lawsuit for attacking a photographer or just stunt in clearing up his continued “negative image” but it surely worked. Today we learned so many things about Kanye that we had not known prior to his attendance at his mother-in law show today. Kanye was candid when discussing his relationship with Kim, his mother [who passed away], his grandfather [who’s one of his greatest inspiration], and his father [who he hails as his champion and inspiration of his artistic background].
Here’s what we’ve learned
– Kanye “always knew that Kim Kardashian was his true love from the first time he’d laid eyes on her back when she was assistant to singer, Brandy many years ago.
– Kanye moved to China at the age of 5 with his mother and resided there for a year. Kanye’s dad was photographer & journalist who took some very notable portraits two of which included former president Ronald Reagan & writer/poet & scholar Maya Angelou in their formative years].
– Kanye West mother was the first black woman
– Kanye West has a knack for women shoes and making his woman feel like princess [ie: taking Kim to Paris to design and custom her very own Guiseppe Zanotti shoes
– Kane West is a ‘Christian’ and will raise his family with those religious values
Watch Kanye talk about his love for Kim, his grandfather’s recent passing and what he’s learned most.
Overall Kanye’s interview went over pretty well. At one point Kris did bring up President Obama’s recent comment which [to her was taken as a negative diss] when the president said:
” There was not that window into the lifestyles of the rich and famous,” the President said. Kids weren’t monitoring every day what Kim Kardashian was wearing, or where Kanye West was going on vacation, and thinking that somehow that was the mark of success. “
While Kris still has her ‘eyebrows up’ about the comment, Kanye laughed it off and said that he felt the comment was more an ‘homage’ to him and Kim “that they were the American Dream” that kids are seeking to emulate.
“Who doesn’t want to go on vacation and travel Kanye said. For me I take it as a positive that the President continues to mention my name” – laughs.
We all know Kanye West was very close with his mother and he dished on his state of ‘loneliness’ following her passing back a few years ago and now feeling moments of joy having regained a whole new family.
“When my mom died, I thought I didn’t have something to live for, but now I have two people to live for [Kim and baby North West]”
Sidebar: Was it me or was Kris Jenner reaching “too far” as she repeatedly felt the need to mention that Kanye lives in her house with her family. I guess Baby North will be protected at all costs.
The show concluded with Kanye West explaining why he and Kim opted NOT to sell Baby North’s first photos to the public and instead, issue the photo out on her grandmother’s ‘finale’ show. Undoubtedly, Baby North is a cutie pie and Kanye is a remarkable marketing genius!
