Kanye West took to the fashion industry, the media and notable others on Thursday by commenting on the life of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
The 45-year-old musical artist, speaking to Tucker Carlson on Fox News, said the fashion industry has tried to sexualize his ex-wife, 41, regardless of her performance.
“Kim is a Christian, but she has people who want her to go to Interview magazine and laugh at her for being a 40-year-old multi-billionaire with four black kids and this is how fashion … how they want to present her.”

West, who shares four children with Kim — daughters North, nine, and Chicago, four, and sons Saint, six, and Psalm, three — was also critical of the marketing of his ex-wife’s shapewear brand, SKIMS.
“I had a lot of problems with the images from SKIMS,” he said. “I felt like there were a lot of images that were overly sexualized and things I’d like to see my wife and certainly not my daughters do in the future to sell products. But it goes to another level when it’s like, “Okay, this is what my wife does. This is what she does for our kids.”
West also said that Kris Jenner’s beau Corey Gamble and Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson have a certain influence on his ex-wife, which reinforces what she should be afraid of.
“There are so many things that get put in Kim’s head,” West said. ‘They bring influencers, like nobody ever knew where Corey Gamble came from, nobody in the fashion world knows where’ [Karefa-Johnson] came from. In my opinion, these people were practically made in a laboratory.’

West sat for the interview with Carlson amid a week of controversy, where he was criticized for a Paris Fashion Week showcase for his Yeezy line in which he and Owens wore sweaters that read White Lives Matter on the back.
West said that “if you have someone who isn’t afraid of them, like a Russell Brand or Candace Owens, it’s not that we have to agree with that, but they aren’t afraid to speak their mind.”

“The media made fun of me for getting the house next door to Kim to see my kids, and they even said I was stalking her and her new boyfriend [Pete Davidson]”Because I bought the house next door to see my kids,” said the Bound 2 singer.

Carlson said West was shocked to learn after his divorce that Kim “had a close and secret relationship with the Clintons, and that they were working on her to get him to read from the script.”
West said: “It was interesting, a friend of mine told me that Kris and Kim called him because he had influence within the black community. And had called him to say, to get him to influence people to take the vaccination.
‘And I don’t have an opinion about that, I just wanted to make that a statement. It was wild that I didn’t know how close my own wife was to the Clintons—I didn’t know, I didn’t realize it then.”
