During an appearance on Digital Nas’ Twitch stream, Kanye West threw a subtle shade at his ex-wife Kim Kardashian by saying he should have married heiress Paris Hilton instead of her.
This isn’t the first time the 47-year-old controversial rapper and fashion designer has gone after Kardashian, 44, in his online shenanigans. Years before they became a couple, Kardashian was Hilton’s personal assistant, per Billboard. That was before the former shot into the limelight.
“Kim was Paris Hilton’s assistant,” Kanye, who is also known as Ye, said. “I should’ve had babies with Paris Hilton over Kim Kardashian. Could you imagine if I had kids with Paris Hilton? How many hotels I’d have now. Think about that — the Hilton. I think y’all staying at the Hilton right now. The Edition Hotels is a Hilton.”
Kanye then made mention of deceased fashion designer Virgil Abloh and likened their relationship to that of Kardashian and Hilton. “Paris Hilton had the vision, and that’s what happened,” the College Dropout rapper said. “Kim was like the Virgil [Abloh]. Kim was like Paris Hilton’s Virgil.”
Kanye also highlighted former California governor and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s affair with his nanny which resulted in the pair having a child. Schwarzenegger’s then-wife, Maria Shriver, ultimately filed for divorce from him.
“If you’re like Arnold Schwarzenegger and you have a kid with a nanny, the nanny’s only power is to take your kids,” the 47-year-old said. “So Kim’s only power is to take my kids. I had a baby with a f—ing assistant, bro.”
As previously reported by Face2Face Africa, Kanye and Kardashian married in 2014, and they share four children: North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and 5-year-old Psalm. Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye, who has been in the news in recent times for all the wrong reasons, in 2021.
