Considering how thoroughly Kim Kardashian lives her life out in public, there are still so many conspiracies involving Kim, her alleged boyfriends or sidepieces, her marriage to Kanye and so much more. Personally, I believe Kim is the biggest reason why Drake and Kanye have been low-key and high-key feuding for years. Of course, I also believe that while Kim and Kanye loved each other for years, they barely lived together. Part of their arrangement from the very start of their relationship was that Kanye got to do whatever he wanted. He practically abandoned her during her first pregnancy and ran off to Paris. So, am I surprised to hear Kanye make references to cheating on Kim? Not really.
Kanye West cheated on Kim Kardashian after she welcomed her first two kids — and is the inspiration for his new song “Hurricane.” Multiple sources confirmed the meaning behind the telling lyrics in the track off “Donda,” his latest album that was released with plenty of fanfare and controversy.
“The song is in a way his testimony of everything he did wrong and taking accountability for their marriage breakdown,” one insider shared. In the song the West raps, “Here I go actin’ too rich / Here I go with a new chick / And I know what the truth is / Still playin’ after two kids / It’s a lot to digest when your life always movin’.
Our source confirmed the aforementioned “new chick” is not brief fling Irina Shayk, despite rumors swirling otherwise.
“If you look closer to the lyrics he is referring to his infidelity during his marriage with Kim, even after two kids,” the insider continued. The song also alludes to West, 44, never going home to their multimillion-dollar mansion and struggling with alcohol abuse. “Architectural Digest, but I needed home improvement / Sixty-million-dollar home, never went home to it / Genius gone clueless, it’s a whole lot to risk / Alcohol anonymous, who’s the busiest loser?”
Despite the seemingly admitted infidelity, we’re told it wasn’t the straw that broke the camel’s back for Kim, as she went on to have two more kids before ending it. While West’s bizarre presidential run and Twitter tirades took a toll on the marriage, his infidelity and struggles with alcohol also strained the relationship.
Sure. I believe that. Saint West was their second child, born 2015. In 2016, Kim was robbed at gunpoint in Paris and Kanye had a significant breakdown in the weeks and months that followed. In late 2016 and early 2017, Kim was seriously considering a divorce, and she even met with divorce lawyers to discuss what she could do going forward. I think around that time, their marriage was just completely awful and infidelity was probably only one part of why it was awful. I always believed that Kim and Ye came to some kind of agreement about what they wanted from the marriage after that. Kanye moved full time to Wyoming and Kim stayed in LA. Kim had two more children via gestational carriers, and she started “law school” and built her businesses, all without Kanye as part of her daily life.

Ugh. These KimYe stories always leave me messy. They’re both awful but OmG how does one cheat and essentially check out then get upset you got hit with divorce papers.
The circus. Ugh.
He’s been a messy cheater. Amber rose spoke about how he would cheat and not bother to hide it towards the end. To tell him that hurt your feelings was to inhibit his existence as an artist and therefore was a personal attack on him.
He’s bipolar. As sure as there’s an UP there will always come a DOWN.
These two are so dreary.
Maybe it’s just me but Kanye does not seem like a sexual person whatsoever… zero sex appeal, or allure, or inkling that he has sexual desires…..
I dont think Kim cares,she is not like Khloe who truly falls in love and gets heart broken when things go wrong. Kim seems very asexual(despite her image) men are just for the status quo: husband,same dad for all her kids etc . She seems way more invested in the female relationships in her life.
Kim in very much invested in anything and everything that involves Kim. She will live up to the image she created because she thinks that is her job. She knows she doesnt need kanye to survive and he knows he doesnt need her to thrive. that’s the good thing about these 2.
I agree with this, too! Kim always seemed like she enjoyed the sex doll image without having to go through with it. (Just like Mariah Carey!) She seems cold. I get no sexual vibes from her at all.
Kim cares about her image, so yeah she cares that she got cheated on but can now turn this into another poor Kim the victim narrative
Why have two more kids with a dude that cheated on you? She’s so judgmental when it comes to Khloe and Tristan, yet Kim is no better than Khloe. Also, Kanye gave Kim a huge amount of money to start her Skims business so no she didn’t do that alone.
I do wonder, when Kanye accused Kim of cheating with Meek, why didn’t she come out and say Kanye was the one who cheated? What held her back ? What does Kanye have on this family? They love to trash people…everyone but Kanye that is.
i think the hollywood world is aware of their statistics lol they’re probably going to divorce anybody they marry or break up with any person they go out with so, with that said – if you’re financially more than independant, if things are already sour, you already got a kid with the guy and you want more – wouldnt it be the best thing to just deal with that 1 guy instead of 2-3- divorces and 2-3 guys for child co-parenting and custody? That would be a mess.
I don’t agree with you at all…but we have a right to our own opinions.
Weren’t the two additional children already conceived by IVF and frozen? Maybe that’s why.
But why do this to two additional children? If you know your husband is never around and barely sees the two kids he has, but has enough time to cheat on you with another woman…yeah I don’t see why anyone would think it’s a good idea to bring two more kids in to this mess.
@ME Kanye gave Kim money to start SKIMS? I must say i have never heard of that and find it hard to believe. I understand Kanye was intrumental in getting the K Klan through the A list door and not being seen as just trashy reality stars. But by the time SKIMS came around Kim already had bonafide businesses like her video games,perfumes,make up etc She was making enough money and would even have options of a ton of investors.
I’ve read and heard that yes Kanye helped Kim get her Skims brand off the ground by giving her money to invest in the company. Kanye also gave Kim some ownership in his Yeezy brand.
I too wonder why they dont trash Kanye like the family does Kim`s other exes.
Because Kanye will say whatever the fk, whenever the fk and they probably don’t want to poke the bear.
Also, now that it’s known that he’s bipolar, that would not be a good look for them.
@ME – Re: “Why have two more kids with someone who cheated on you”: At some point a commenter here pointed out that each and all of the Kardashian-Jenner daughters are pretty meticulous about ensuring their children all share the same dad — to the point that they’ll repeatedly return to a toxic situation to have still more kids. Only then did it occur to me that *Khloe* may have been so traumatized by incessant public speculation regarding her paternity, that she and her siblings and half-siblings vowed to never have a “Khloe” among their own kids.
….. and water is wet.
So now we know why Kim did the appearance in the wedding gown. All part of Kanye’s mea culpa – and Kim comes out looking like the pristine wife and mother.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I just get the feeling that Kanye struggles with his sexual and maybe gender identity, hence why he’s always so intense with his work. It’s like he’s running from something.
I thought they were in love in the beginning mostly because of how Kanye would speak about Kim, like she was the greatest thing that ever existed. But I think she was more of a muse, their arrangement worked for both. But I think it’s very telling that even when she was pregnant the first time Kanye was absent, if he wanted to be there, he would have, but he was always running away. When your madly in love in a new relationship you can’t bare to be apart.
This is gonna be hard for people to hear, but Kanye was a vocal LGBTQ ally for years.
Way back in 2004/2005 he was going on tv talking about homophobia in rap music, pledging not to use “gay” as a slur, asking other rappers to do the same. For the time, that was actually incredibly risky for a rapper, “gay” was being thrown around so casually it seems unbelievable he was trying to have conversations about masculinity, homophobia, and queerness in the public sphere. How long did it take other stars, like Taylor Swift, to take a similar stance?
He was plagued with rumors of homosexuality at the beginning of his career and it didn’t bother him — instead, he leaned into it, advocating for tolerance. (People may not remember, but his original image was this clean-cut, college man-on-campus vibe, wearing a lot of pink, a lot of polos, the polar opposite of gangsta rap image 50 Cent at the time, and people hit Kanye for it HARD.)
Kanye very openly supported Frank Ocean, fighting for his acceptance in the industry, threatening to boycott events Frank wasn’t invited to, to the point that people thought Kanye and Frank (openly queer) were dating.
Kim credited Kanye with helping her accept Caitlyn Jenner’s transition. In fact, Kanye was the first person in the family to be vocally supportive of her transition.
Obviously, NONE of this excuses or explains his hard shift towards anti-LGBTQ bigotry now. It’s actually really sad, that someone who challenged these norms with such verve, long before was accepted by the majority of the public, would devolve into such prejudice and hatred.
All that being said, I think all of the above is why these rumors of being maybe being queer have followed him around since the beginning of his career. Amber mentioning he enjoys butt stuff contributed to this as well. Is it possible he struggle with his identity? I guess so.
I remember his clean cut, college boy look, it was right around the time he was in a car accident. I do wonder if some of his issues are from the trauma of the accident, he had significant damage to his jaw and therefore his head. That can change people.
I do remember when she was pregnant that Kanye was in Paris spending a lot of time with a well-known designer, who was supposedly mentoring him in fashion. Ricardo Tisci maybe? I remember the gossip at the time was that they were in a relationship, with Ricardo mentioning in interviews that he was with someone who wasn’t out, and giving clues that at the least were meant to imply it was Kanye. He was also the designer that Kanye was dressing Kim head to toe in. I think she wore something to the Met Gala that he designed?
Anyway, all this tells me is I have way more space in my brain dedicated to this stuff than I would’ve thought, and I’m deeply unhappy about it. Also, I hope that everyone involved moves into health and happiness for their kids sake.
I wonder when the guy will come out and admit he is one.
I am all for Kim being all about Kim. Men do this all the time, why not women? If everyone is OK with a transactional relationship, I see nothing wrong with that. It might mess the kids up a bit, but again these are choices that Kim has made as well. Do you really think that Kim went to trump at the White House because she agrees with what Trump stands for? Of course not, she was going to trump and using his all of celebrity in order to get what she wanted with her legal projects. She may have had transactional Things with Kanye as well. Again, it might be messy to us, but for her I think it’s just all part of her business empire and of her projects and causes that she wants to forward at this point. Men do this all the time, and personally I think it’s OK.
I just feel for the kids a bit. It must be a strange way to grow up. But other children have done far more given much worse conditions, they seem well cared for and loved, it’s just unconventional. So I don’t feel that bad…
Yeah, I doubt cheating was the breaking point with these two. Just another day ending in Y. They cheated on Kris Humphries and Amber Rose. They only made things official when they got pregnant with North. Is it any surprise either continued their cheating ways? Nope. Never bought they were in love. It always seemed transactional and convenient.
I think Kanye and Kim are both the worst and definitely capable of cheating; however, these are just song lyrics. Songwriters make things up and embellish for artistic reasons all the time. It’s kind of a stretch to decide that this is all true based on song lyrics alone…
Good point. It also occurred to me that he’s trying to do a Jay Z “response to Lemonade” kind of thing.
This is like, the least surprising thing about their marriage.
I doubt she cared much when it happened as long as it wasn’t obviously public and now it is useful fodder to help cultivate a sympathetic image for publicity.
I wonder if this is what rehashing the “Kylie is a self made billionaire, for realz!!” story was supposed to distract us from, because you know this was leaked for a reason.
If they do it with you, they will do it to you.
Kim knew. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck, but she knew.
I remember years ago, Kim and her sisters did an interview with Access Hollywood. They were asked if they’ve ever cheated or been cheated on. I think Kim was single at the time. She said every boyfriend she’s ever had has cheated on her. She said she also cheated on all of them but only after they cheated first. Makes me wonder if Kim did in fact cheat on Kanye after she found out he cheated on her. Those Meek Mill rumors…
I thought he was supposed to be a “religious” person. Hypocrite.
Another story depicting Kim as the victim. Multiple sources=Kris, Kim, and Khloe. The most interesting thing about the Kardashians/Jenners is how the press keeps falling for their cons.
Wasn’t Kayne in a relationship with Amber Rose when Kim was sending him inappropriate photos of herself? She knew he was a cheater when she jumped in a relationship with him. Why does she expect sympathy when she didn’t show any respect for another woman’s relationship? Is the press going to call the Kardashians/Jenners out for their hypocrisy? They(including Kris) have a history of cheating on their partners and with men in relationships(often the husbands and boyfriends of their friends).
A negative story about Kayne. Why? Are Kris and her daughters trying to distance themselves from Kayne because the album isn’t doing as well as they thought? Has the backlash become too much for them to handle? Or are Kris and Kim being very petty because the “3 hours in a Walgreens”(referring to Kim cheating on Kayne) lyric really embarrassed Kim?
I like how the source(Kris) goes all out of her way emphasize that the “new chick” lyric definitely wasn’t about Irina, therefore exposing that Kim really was jealous of Kayne’s “relationship” with Irina.
Drake and Kanye aren’t fighting over Kim. This is just more spin created by Kris to make her daughters appear more than what they are, like the interview about how Kylie is self made, even though all Kris did was put her daughter’s name on a pre-existing company and product.
How long before Kris and Kourtney are using these various same cheating stories to distance themselves from Travis. Kris isn’t very creative and uses the same storylines over and over for her daughters.
I don’t think the press are falling for any of it, I think Kris is paying them out, so she is essentially in control of whatever gets out there.
