Kanye West (aka Ye) is at it again, this time involving Paris Hilton in his latest tirade. It’s worth remembering that Hilton played a significant role in launching Kim Kardashian’s career, gifting her early exposure to fame and some designer accessories.
Before “Keeping Up With the Kardashians”, his ex-wife was Paris Hilton’s assistant-slash-bestie, following her around in early-2000s paparazzi shots, and learning the ropes of tabloid royalty.
Ye seems to be having regrets, not about his music or his never-ending rants, but about his parenting choices.
In a moment on a streaming platform called “Digital Nas’ Twitch” earlier this week, Ye decided to air some alternate universe fantasies.
“Kim was Paris Hilton’s assistant,” he 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.”
He also compared Kardashian to the late Virgil Abloh, a backhanded compliment if there ever was one. “Paris Hilton had the vision, and that’s what happened,” Ye added.
“Kim was like the Virgil [Abloh]. Kim was like Paris Hilton’s Virgil.” Whew.
While Ye’s out here rewriting the family tree in his head, Hilton is living her real-life fairytale and couldn’t be more unbothered. On Wednesday, she took to Instagram Stories to show off her rooftop hangout with sister Nicky Hilton, celebrating her latest milestone.
“So proud of my 30th fragrance, Iconic,” she wrote. Hilton’s got 30 perfumes under her designer belt. The woman’s perfume empire is practically a shelf-breaker.
And in true Hilton style, she stepped behind the DJ booth with a bejewelled hairbrush-mic and lip-synced to her surprisingly well-loved 2006 bop, “Stars Are Blind”. A hit that critics once raised eyebrows at, but has since aged into a Y2K pop cult classic.
As for Ye, well, we’ve seen this pattern before. He’s got four children with Kardashian, and yet somehow can’t stop dragging her into his latest rants.
At this point, we’re just waiting to see who makes it into his next stream-of-consciousness saga. One thing’s for sure: Hilton’s not interested in being part of Ye’s “what if” multiverse. She’s too busy being iconic.
Shame, he missed that memo.
