“I’ve been very blessed in this life and I’m grateful for everything, honestly: all the ups, all the downs,” she said at the time. “I mean, I married the best rapper of all time. Not only that, he’s the richest Black man in America: A talented, legit genius who gave me four incredible kids.”
She went on, “So when I divorced him, you have to know it came down to just one thing: his personality. I know that sounds mean, but people keep telling me that comedy comes from truth and if there’s one thing that I always strive to be, it’s genuine.”
Turns out, Ye was not thrilled with a few of her monologue comments. In the latest episode of the Hulu reality series The Kardashians, Kardashian said Ye was on set behind-the-scenes during her SNL appearance but walked out after hearing her divorce remarks.
“He is upset at the fact that I used the word ‘divorced’; he wished I said the word ‘filed’ for divorce,” she explains. “And he was upset that I also said he was a ‘rapper.’ He said, ‘I am so much more than a rapper. I can’t believe you said ‘rapper.’” I never want to offend anyone, and I never want to hurt anyone, but also that is what this monologue was for. It was to make a joke. I made fun of myself, my mom, and of everything that is personal to me. It is all fun and games, and apparently, it wasn’t to him.”
