In his latest musical endeavor, Kanye West appears to castigate his former spouse and her mother through his pointed lyrics.
At age 46, the influential rapper unveiled his album Vultures I, which quickly soared to the top of the Billboard charts this week.
The track “Keys To My Life” from Kanye’s latest album features a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign.
Eagle-eyed fans discerned that the song’s lyrics may be subtly geared towards Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner.
“Look at what I stumbled on, another man chillin’ on your couch with pajamas on,” the lyrics address a personal revelation.
“Thought I was the only one, how dare you have a man in your house eating Papa Johns?” the song questions.
Kanye’s lyrics also appear to allude to a motherly figure.
As he raps, “Guess we had an awesome run, ever since I lost my mom, you were like my foster mom,” listeners catch the possible reference.
“Hold me like your only son,” he adds, intensifying the speculation.
The allusion to a maternal role spurred fans to engage in discussions on Reddit, pondering if these lines could be directed at Kris Jenner.
An excerpt of the lyrics prompted viral discussions in a Kardashian-centric forum.
Title of the forum thread read “Kanye’s new lyrics about Kim,” sparking various interpretations.
One user made a connection, writing, “Tristan Thompson is the one eating Papa Johns on her couch,” referring to Khloe Kardashian’s ex, Tristan Thompson.
“Maybe he was talking about Kris,” suggested another participant.
Continuing the speculation, a third input read, “Probably a stretch but the line ‘Lookin how far we’ve come, I bought your first Vacheron’ is a nod to Kim…”
They speculated, “She’s been in the limelight for purchasing watches like ones previously owned by Jackie Kennedy and Pharrell. This happened post their relationship. Kanye could be implying his influence on her watch interest, showing off his effect on her, and hinting that he was behind her ability to acquire such luxuries,” they surmised.
“Ew. Foster mom line better be about Kris and not Kim,” a fifth commenter opined.
One particularly empathetic user remarked, “Honestly this just makes me feel sorry for her. He’s such a piece of s**t.”
CHART-TOPPING SUCCESS
This examination of Kanye’s lyrics arrives as his daughter North West makes history as the youngest chart-topping artist.
The Kanye track featuring a verse from North, named “Talking/Once Again,” secured its spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
Merely two weeks post-debut, the single climbed to 30th ranking on the chart.
The rapper took to his Instagram to celebrate this landmark, showcasing North’s artistic breakthrough.
He shared a snapshot from @chartdata’s account on X (formerly Twitter) confirming the chart update.
RISING YOUNG TALENT
“North West breaks into the Hot 100 this week with ‘TALKING.’”
The announcement followed with, “She becomes one of the youngest artists to achieve this feat, at merely 10 years old,” the post disclosed.
Included was an image of North dressed in a lengthy black cape as depicted in the album visuals.
Her hair styled in braids and adorned with a regal tiara.
Kim and Kanye ended their marriage officially in 2022 and are parents to four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
Kanye embarked on a new marital journey with Bianca Censori towards the end of 2022, not long after his legal separation from Kim.
