Kim Kardashian sheds light on Kanye divorce amid recent antisemitic acts

Kim Kardashian sheds light on Kanye divorce amid recent antisemitic acts

Yahoo13-02-2025
NEW YORK — Kim Kardashian made rare comments about her difficult, and very public, divorce from Kanye West, surfacing a week after the rapper's latest antisemitic outburst.
The 44-year-old reality star opens up about the demise of the marriage, which lasted from 2014 until 2021, in the Feb. 13 episode of 'The Kardashians.'
Kardashian shared that 'the hardest part' of a devolving relationship is 'when you don't foresee something happening that really changes a person's personality and then they're not the same person and you can't ever get that person back, but you can't live with the new person.'
The Skims founder, who shares four children with the rapper now legally known as Ye, filed for divorce in early 2021. Their divorce was finalized in late 2022. He promptly married Yeezy architectural designer (and Kardashian lookalike) Bianca Censori in January 2023.
'It's tougher when you don't want your marriage to end off of personal reasons but circumstances that force your marriage to end,' Kardashian said in a confessional. 'When you weren't planning on that and that's not really the outcome you want but there's no other option, I think it makes it harder to get over.'
The episode comes on the heels of 47-year-old Ye's latest antisemitic screed, which began the evening of Feb. 6 and lasted into the late morning hours of Feb. 7. In the rant, Ye declared himself a Nazi, and praised Hitler as well as referring to himself as 'Yaydolf Yitler.'
He also used homophobic slurs, dubbed slavery 'a choice.' He has also been sued by a Jewish employee for allegedly bullying Jewish staffers.
At the time Kardashian and West's relationship was falling apart, he was losing favor after repeated antisemitic and racism rants. Many attributed the volatility with West's struggle with bipolar disorder, though last week, between the Grammys stunt and X outburst, he told 'The Download' podcast that he has been rediagnosed with autism, not bipolar disorder.
This week, West doubled down on his bigotry by selling swastika T-shirts on a now-defunct Shopify website.

Brampton rap prodigy, 12, hits the stage with Wu-Tang Clan during Toronto farewell tour: ‘I was pumped'

' Wu-Tang is for the children,' Ol' Dirty Bastard famously declared at the 1998 Grammys. Over a quarter century later, the mighty Staten Island rap collective proved that they remain a potent cultural force — among both old heads and the kids — during their farewell tour stop at Toronto's Scotiabank Arena on Monday. Midway through the show, Wu-Tang Clan's de facto leader RZA was taking stock of the audience when he spotted Cairo Snow FPTO, a 12-year-old rapper from Brampton. Seeing his enthusiasm, RZA invited Cairo up to the stage, where he bounced along enthusiastically with Masta Killa, U-God and other members of the clan for three songs. 'I was feeling the music and I was pumped,' Cairo told the Star. 'Like, a level of pumped I haven't experienced in so, so long.' At one point, RZA and Cairo encouraged the sold-out audience of 19,000 to jump up and down in unison. 'I wasn't really nervous,' he said. 'I'm a performer, so when I'm on stage, it triggers my adrenaline and releases that dopamine ... it was crazy.' After the show, Cairo got to meet the entire Clan backstage, where he snapped pics with RZA, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon and others. 'To share the stage with legends in front of thousands in my hometown — this is something I'll never forget,' he said. Raekwon gives a hug to Cairo Snow FTPO after Wu-Tang Clan's performance at Scotiabank Arena. But the young artist's moment in the spotlight didn't come out of nowhere. Born and raised in Brampton, Cairo has been rapping since he was five — 'from the crib' he says. Growing up, he didn't have access to YouTube, and he learned about hip hop by listening to his dad's old CDs. 'Since birth, that's all I was listening to: Wu-Tang, Nas, Mobb Deep, Jay-Z — I was all listening to all of those guys.' By the age of seven, he started writing his own songs. A few years later, his lyrical flow caught the attention of MTStreets, a Los Angeles-based producer and beat-maker who has worked with industry heavy-weights like Dua Lipa and Lil Baby. In January, with an assist from producer B3, Cairo released his debut single, 'Cairo Snow FPTO,' a blistering track that showcased the young artist's remarkable charisma and confidence, and racked up thousands of streams on Spotify and other music platforms. When Wu-Tang Clan arrived in town this week, Cairo knew he wanted to try to meet his heroes, even though he didn't have tickets to the show. Just last summer, when he was just 11, Cairo had the chance to rap for Wu-Tang rapper Raekwon at a meet-and-greet prior to his solo show. 'Raekwon was so impressed by him, as many people who were there,' Cairo's father, Omar, recalled. Raekwon gave Cairo his contact information, and the new two stayed in (limited) contact for the next 11 months. A post shared by Cairo Snow | Prod.A3 (@ On Monday afternoon, Raekwon invited the young rapper to meet up before the show, where he also introduced the young artist to Inspectah Deck. 'The love and support that he was shown inside the meet-and-greet was surreal,' Omar recalled. Afterwards, someone from Wu-Tang's crew gave Cairo an extra ticket to the show. His mother bought a second ticket, and they headed into the arena Over the course of the show, Cairo managed to find his way to the front of the stage, where his enthusiasm caught the attention of RZA. 'I just remember RZA started asking (the audience) to shout out who is from different generations, and we he got to the 2000s, and I started waving and was like 'yo wassup!'' Cairo recalled. 'And he was like 'young man, please come up to the stage.' It was just crazy.' A post shared by Cairo Snow | Prod.A3 (@ Less than 24 hours later, Cairo said he feels super inspired to make more music. When asked if he had a message to share with his new fans, he said 'be unrelentingly yourself.' 'My message is to stay true to yourself no matter what anybody tells you. No matter what anyone wants you to do. Stay true to yourself. Stay true to your grind. Because if you stay true to your grind, you're going to get to the places that you want to be, that you strive to be.' Editor's note — July 16, 2025 This article has been updated.
