Kim Kardashian's daughter North West, 12, has fans all saying the same thing about her viral video
Kim Kardashian 's tween daughter North West has gone viral for appearing in influencer Chris Smoove's latest video. The 12-year-old nepo baby, whose dad is controversy-plagued Kanye West, rocked her hair in knee-length blue braids and a gothic-inspired shirt, shorts, and sneakers. Chris, who's known for profiling celebrities and their designer threads, asked North how much her outfit cost, piece by piece. And she sent the internet into hysterics as she gave the same answer for each question: 'I don't know.' Fans convened in the comments section of the post, collectively agreeing that the youngster is 'just like' her famous father. 'Daddy's daughter,' one person wrote, along with a string of crying laughing emojis and one shrug emoji. Chris, who's known for profiling celebrities and their designer threads, asked North how much her outfit cost, piece by piece. And she sent the internet into hysterics as she gave the same answer for each question: 'I don't know' Someone else said North was 'Princess Yeezy Fasho,' referencing Kanye's popular clothing line. Another social media user declared, 'She definitely has her dad's personality for SURE.' 'She just like her daddy,' influencer Nick Yardy added.' North's interview echoed her dad's 2021 chat with Smoove, during which he answered 'I don't know' for most of the questions presented to him as he rocked an all-black ensemble. The Chicago-bred rapped did, however, divulge that the watch he was wearing at the time ran him $200,000. Chris captioned this week's video featuring North, 'How much is your outfit worth? North West Pulled a YE on me,' adding crying laughing emojis. It comes after the Kim and Kanye's firstborn of four children recently celebrated her June 15 birthday on a yacht in Mexico. Another social media user declared, 'She definitely has her dad's personality for SURE' In addition to North, the exes also share son Saint, nine, daughter Chicago, seven, and son Psalm, six. They were married from 2014 until the television star filed for divorce in February 2021. West moved on with busty Bianca Censori, 30, marrying her in December 2022, the month after his divorce was finalized. Together they're known for their outlandish public appearances, which often see the Australian architect scantily clad. Meanwhile, since leaving the YZY creator, Kim has been romantically involved with Pete Davidson, and linked to Tom Brady. The 44-year-old bombshell billionaire is currently in Italy, where she's enjoying Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding festivities. The bombshell billionaire was trolled on social media ahead of the weekend for making the Bezos wedding 'all about her' as she posted racy content to social media. The lavish celebration kicked off with pre-wedding festivities at the historic Madonna dell'Orto cloisters, where A-listers including Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, and Ivanka Trump mingled under candlelight. Some of Kim's famous family — Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and momager Kris Jenner — were also at the star-studded affair. But despite being surrounded by celebrities and an opulent setting, Kim couldn't seem to stay off her phone. She was spotted snapping selfies throughout the day — and in between her self-staged photo shoots, she slipped in a sizzling SKIMS promo, flaunting an animal print bikini on social media.

Sean Combs's Son Christian Releases a Song With Ye: ‘Diddy Free'
Marketing prowess may run in the family. On the day Sean Combs's defense was set to present its closing argument to jurors, the music mogul's son Christian, who raps as King Combs, released a long-teased set of seven new songs, including one track called 'Diddy Free.' The song, credited to King Combs and Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, includes lyrics about those who 'try to play the victim' and states plainly '[expletive] the world, critics and the witness.' Later, King Combs, 27, raps, 'this Bible might come in handy / this rifle might come in handy' with a chorus that promises not to sleep ''til we see Diddy free.' A previous demo version of the song by Ye — without King Combs — had leaked online last month. The superstar rapper and producer, who has become a pariah in the music industry for his persistent, button-pushing antisemitism, has been the highest-profile celebrity to offer public support for Mr. Combs, who is charged with sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. Earlier this month, he briefly appeared at the Manhattan courthouse where the trial is being held in a show of solidarity. Ye is credited as the executive producer of King Combs's new music, the 'Never Stop' EP, which uses a photo that appears to depict the dilapidated headquarters for Bad Boy Worldwide, Mr. Combs's entertainment company, as its cover art. The EP also includes a featured appearance by North West, Ye's eldest daughter with his former wife, Kim Kardashian. Her appearance on an earlier version of the song had, according to Ye, been a source of contention between the two parents. King Combs was among the six of Mr. Combs's seven children who appeared in court to support the mogul on Friday. (The seventh, Mr. Combs's lawyer pointed out, is an infant.) He wore a jacket that includes an illustration of his late mother, Kim Porter, who died in 2018 and has been evoked at trial as Mr. Combs's 'soul mate.' 'You always told me to chase my dreams and be a go-getter,' King Combs raps on another track, titled 'Kim.' 'In this studio right now, I feel alone in it.'

According to a Variety report, the seven-track extended play (EP), which dropped on Friday on all streaming platforms, has a bold and emotional tribute titled Diddy Free. File photo of Christian 'King' Combs(REUTERS) According to the report, Kanye, who is now legally known as Ye, is the producer and executive producer of the project. The play stands as both a musical statement and a personal act of loyalty. According to the report, in the track Diddy Free, 'King' Combs passionately raps, saying no one is going to sleep until they see 'Diddy free'.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Defense calls case 'a false trial' Meanwhile, inside the Manhattan courtroom on Friday morning, Diddy's defense team presented their closing arguments.

Reportedly, they described Combs' lifestyle as part of a 'swingers' culture rather than a criminal enterprise. The counsel insisted there was no evidence of non-consensual sex trafficking or organized racketeering, the Variety report stated. They reiterated that the case was a character assassination based on hearsay and distorted narratives.

Kim Kardashian 'grandpa robber', 69, dies a month after his conviction
's 'grandpa robber' has died a month after he was convicted of stealing jewellery worth $10million from the reality television star. Didier Dubreucq, 69, was diagnosed with lung cancer during pre-trial detention and had been undergoing chemotherapy. He was among ten suspects to be tried earlier this year for stealing jewels from the star, including a huge diamond ring from her now ex-husband, rapper Kanye West. Dubreucq, who police nicknamed 'Blue Eyes' due to his piercing gaze, was accused of being the second person who stormed into Kim's hotel room on October 2, 2016, but he denied the charges. A Paris court last month sentenced him to seven years in jail, including five suspended, for the robbery. He was absent for the ruling as he was undergoing chemotherapy, and did not return to jail as he had already served his two years in pre-trial detention. In April, he had however turned up in court after a chemotherapy session to say he had 'nothing to do' with the theft. He said he did not like to be labelled an 'armed robber' despite having served a 23-year sentence for past armed robberies. He rejection suggestions that he is a 'thug' and said: 'I'm a good guy.' Since becoming a father at the age of 50, Dubreucq added that he had put an end to his 'big mistakes' of the past. None of the eight people convicted last month returned to jail, including 69-year-old ringleader Aomar Ait Khedache, because of the time they had spent behind bars while awaiting trial. A few hours after the verdict, Dubreucq addressed the court in a letter read by his lawyer. He wrote: 'I never participated in this jewelry theft. You don't condemn a man on the altar of suspicion and doubt.' Dubreucq even addressed a few words Kim, who was held captive and gagged during the robbery, as well as to Abderrahmane Ouatiki, a receptionist at the hotel where the star was staying at the time of the events. He said: 'The ordeal they endured deeply disturbed them, and I felt the trauma they are experiencing today in their voices. It did not leave me indifferent. I dare to hope that in time they will find the path to healing.' The audacious early hours raid in October 2016 took place at the height of Paris Fashion Week, and at the height of the socialite's fame. Kim was alone in the penthouse apartment of her hotel, dozing on the bed in a silk nightgown, when two men disguised as policemen burst into the room and held a gun to her head. The celebrity was bound and gagged, 'like a sausage' and dumped in the bath of her ensuite bathroom while robbers spent 49 minutes snatching millions of pounds worth of gems and watches including her 18.88 carat diamond engagement ring. As they fled, one robber dropped a platinum cross adorned with diamonds that was recovered the following morning. A visibly traumatised Kim fled the country by private jet after giving a brief statement to French detectives and was consoled by then husband Kanye who halted a concert, telling fans he had a 'family emergency'. In the intervening years, the mother told how she feared for her life and cried: 'Don't kill me, I have babies!' Kim has been denied justice for years, with delays on bringing the case to court blamed on the priority of high-profile terrorist trials. There were also fears that the publicity of this trial would destroy Paris' reputation as a high-class tourist destination ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games. But last month the reality TV star re-lived her terrifying ordeal that occurred almost nine years ago when she gave evidence in the trial. A career criminal known as 'Old Omar' was accused of masterminding the heist that was France's highest value robbery in a decade. Omar's 79-year-old mistress Christiane 'Cathy' Glotin was also said to be involved. Old Omar denied being the mastermind of the heist. He instead said another man, who he refused to name, presented the opportunity to him. He claimed this man presented detailed plans, including layouts of the hotel building and pictures of Kim wearing the prized jewellery.

Kanye West Has Reportedly Been Paying His Wife Hefty Sums To Flash The Flesh In Barely-There Outfits
Kanye West reportedly paid his wife, Bianca Censori, an eye-watering amount of money to wear a revealing edible candy look during a recent outing in New York City. Censori, who has come under fire several times for her controversial outfits, is said to be smiling to the bank regularly because of the racy looks, as sources claim she charges her husband a hefty sum to do his bidding. Kanye West and Bianca Censori's marriage was understood to have hit a rough patch, but they managed to work out their differences after the "Donda" rapper agreed to her terms. A new report has revealed that 48-year-old rapper West pays his wife huge amounts of money to wear her sultry, provocative outfits. West and Censori caused quite a stir when they were pictured out and about in New York last week, with the former Yeezy Architect wearing a revealing candy bra and thong outfit that was "pitched" by her husband. According to The U.S. Sun, she "point blank" refused to do it but reconsidered when the rapper agreed to pay her the whopping sum of $100,000. A source told the news outlet that West's "obsession" with outfit ideas for her has made him cough up over $400,000 in total. The insider added that the "Carnival" rapper is dressing her up this way to not only ensure he maintains his "edgy persona" in the public eye, but also to make sure everyone thinks "she's the sexiest woman alive." West may have to continue paying his wife to keep wearing those barely-there outfits in public. Last week in Los Angeles, Censori left little to the imagination as she walked about on the streets in a sheer, nude bodysuit with no bra and furry, white boots. The rapper has been accused of manipulating and controlling her following her near-nude appearances, even drawing concerns from her family and friends. However, Censori has seemingly made the most of the situation as the insider explained that she's now doing it all for the money. "Bianca has figured out how to turn all this to her advantage," the source told the news outlet. "A lot of the outfits aren't to her taste. But she tells him she will wear them - if she's paid." West was reportedly upset when she declined to do his bidding, but is now happy to oblige. According to the news outlet, he wanted to offer her a yearly salary; however, the Australian-born beauty declined, opting instead to be paid on a "per look or event" basis. "She's essentially monetizing her image," the source said, further claiming she has made up to $3 million since the arrangement started and was paid $120,000 to accompany her husband to the Grammys in a naked dress. While West is known for his highly controversial political views and comments, Censori is said to have chosen to steer clear of politics and certain ideas with which she is uncomfortable. According to The U.S. Sun, West tried to get her to wear something with a political message tied to his embattled friend Sean "Diddy" Combs, but Censori immediately shut it down. The 30-year-old appears to have a bargaining chip, as she knows how valuable she is to her husband's relevance. "She knows she's essential to his image," the insider said. "She wants her slice of the cake. She's being smart about it." The couple was initially understood to be going through a rough patch in their marriage earlier this year, after West went on a tirade of racist remarks on social media. Reports at the time also claimed he had become overbearing and always wanted to dictate her choices. Censori was said to be "very frustrated" with him as he didn't agree to her chasing a career path of her own. However, they seem to have patched things with sources sharing that West agreed to loosen the reins on her, and that going back on his promises could result in a "breaking point" for the model. "If Kanye changes his mind, she's ready to pack her things and leave immediately," a source told The Mirror, while another added, "Tension between them has been at an all-time high. She wants more freedom. If he doesn't accept, she'll leave and move on." One insider noted Censori "doesn't want to feel limited" as she's a "very creative person and wants to establish herself as a powerful, independent woman." She was understood to have been feeling "stuck" in her marriage and is not content with just being "Kanye's wife." The couple went on a "make or break" holiday in Majorca, Spain, with Censori reportedly being the "driving force" behind the trip. West and Censori are believed to have participated in couples' therapy sessions during their stay and seem to have grown stronger since then.
