Kanye West 10 Fast Facts, Biography, Wiki
West began an on-and-off relationship with designer Alexis Phifer in 2002, and they became engaged in August 2006. The pair ended their 18-month engagement in 2008. West subsequently dated model Amber Rose from 2008 until the summer of 2010. In April 2012, West began dating reality star and longtime friend Kim Kardashian. West and Kardashian became engaged in October 2013, and married on May 24, 2014, at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy. Their private ceremony was subject to widespread mainstream coverage, with West taking issue with the couple’s portrayal in the media. They have four children: North “Nori” West (born June 2013), Saint West (born December 2015), Chicago West (born January 2018 of a surrogate pregnancy), and Psalm West (born May 2019 of a surrogate pregnancy). In April 2015, West and Kardashian traveled to Jerusalem to have North baptized in the Armenian Apostolic Church at the Cathedral of St. James. Kim, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm were all baptized four years later on October 7, 2019, at Holy Etchmiadzin, the mother church of the Armenian Church. The couple’s high-profile status and respective careers have resulted in their relationship becoming subject to heavy media coverage; The New York Times referred to their marriage as “a historic blizzard of celebrity.” In September 2018, West announced that he would be permanently moving to Chicago and would establish his Yeezy company headquarters in the city. This did not actually occur, instead, West went on to move to Wyoming (where he recorded his eighth solo studio album, Ye), purchasing two ranches near Cody, Wyoming. West owns these two ranches, and still actively owns a home in California, where his wife and children reside. In July 2020, during a presidential campaign rally of his, West revealed that he had previously wanted his first child aborted, but Kardashian refused. West made the comment acknowledging the possibility of Kardashian ending their marriage because of it. Later that month, West wrote on Twitter that he had been attempting to divorce Kardashian. He separately wrote that the Kardashian family was attempting “to lock me up.” In January 2021, CNN reported that the couple were discussing divorce, and on February 19, 2021, Kardashian officially filed for divorce. In April 2021, both he and Kardashian cited “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of divorce and agreed to joint custody of their four children. They also agreed that they do not need spousal support. In November 2007, West’s mother Donda West died of a heart disease right after she underwent a plastic surgery procedure. She was 58 years old at the time. This left West in turmoil, as he was extremely close to his mother; she had released her memoir before her death called ‘Raising Kanye: Life Lessons from the Mother of a Hip-Hop Superstar’. Kanye West was in on-and-off relationship relationship with designer Alexis Phifer for four years before getting engaged to her in August 2006. The engagement lasted 18 month before the pair called it quits in 2008. He was in a relationship with model Amber Rose from 2008 to 2010. In April 2012, West began dating Kim Kardashian. They got engaged in October 2013 and married on May 24, 2014, at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy. West and Kim Kardashian have three children: daughters North West (born June 2013) and Chicago West (born January 2018 of a surrogate pregnancy) and son Saint West (born December 2015). In January 2019, Kim Kardashian announced that they are expecting their fouth child, a son, via surrogate. When West dropped out of the college in 1996, his mother became very upset with him but later on with his success as a musician she confessed that not everybody has to go through formal education to prove themselves. After a near death experience in 2002, West recorded his first solo ‘Through the Wire’ at the studio with his jaw still wired shut. In 2004, when West lost the category of the Best New Artist to Gretchen Wilson at the American Music Awards, he claimed that he will never come to the music awards ever again. But later on he apologized for his attitude. West is one of the rare entertainers to make it to the cover of the Time Magazine. He was named as one of the 100 most influential people of the year 2005 in the magazine. West co-hosted the ‘Concert for Hurricane Relief’ televised show and he strayed from his script and announced out of blue that ‘George Bush doesn’t care for black people’. These seven words became the national headline and George Bush called it the most disgraceful moment in his Presidency. In 2009, at MTV VMAs, while Taylor Swift gave her acceptance speech for the Best Female Video Award, Kanye West jumped in between and said that ‘Beyonce’s Single Ladies is the best video of all times’. This act of West was highly criticized and artists like Kelly Clarkson, even President Obama criticized his antics. Later, west made a personal phone call to Taylor and apologized.
