Controversial hip hop star Kanye West recently made some bold comments regarding his past relationship with Kim Kardashian. The Grammy-winning artist claimed he should have had children with Paris Hilton instead, citing legacy, status, and business potential as reasons. His remarks have sparked widespread controversy across social media and the entertainment world.
West launched into a raw and unscripted monologue during the stream, weaving together his thoughts on fame, regret, and parenting. Here’s the full quote via Yahoo:
“When Kim was Paris Hilton’s assistant, I said I had babies with Paris Hilton over Kim Kardashian. Could you imagine if I had kids with Paris Hilton, how many hotels I have now? You got to think about that. Think about that. The Hilton. The Hilton sh*t. It was like, I think I was staying in the Hilton right now. The fu**ing edition hotels is a Hilton. You know what I’m saying?
Paris Hilton had the vision, and then that’s what happened. Kim was like the Virgil. Kim was like Paris Hilton’s Virgil. That’s what happened. If you like Arnold Schwarzenegger and you have a kid with a nanny, the nanny only power is to take your kids. So Kim’s only power is to take my kids.
I had a baby with a fu**ing assistant, bro. And then put her on Vogue. Then put her on Vogue, bro. You can’t put that motherfu**ing assistant on Vogue, bro. That’s exactly Bernardo no day, and it’s king time now. No more motherfu**ing assistants, no more hugs.”
Kanye’s remarks has referenced a well-known chapter in early 2000s celebrity culture. Prior to becoming a global superstar, Kim Kardashian worked as a stylist and assistant to Paris Hilton. That closeness to Hilton gave her a platform, which she later used to build her media empire.
In past interviews, Kardashian acknowledged Hilton’s influence on her career. “She gave me a career,” Kim once said. Kanye’s comments suggest he viewed Hilton as the true visionary and Kardashian as someone who benefited from her orbit.
