Kanye West's rants can't dim Paris Hilton's shine: new fragrance launches
Paris Hilton recently launched her 30th fragrance called 'Iconic'. Image: Instagram 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.

Kanye West Slammed After Saying He Wished He Had Kids With Paris Hilton And Not Kim Kardashian
In another episode of Kanye West's rants, the rapper unsurprisingly caused more controversy, this time on the streaming platform Twitch, when he said he wished he had kids with Paris Hilton, rather than his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. Kanye and Kardashian share four children: North West, 11, Saint West, 9, Chicago West, 7, and Psalm West, 5. Kardashian and Hilton have a shared history as the SKIMS founder got her big break after serving as the latter's assistant. Anyone could be having a quiet, private life and then suddenly find their name trending for the wrong reasons due to a Kanye West rant. Hilton has now found herself in those shoes after comments Kanye made in a since-deleted Twitch livestream went viral. However, parts of the stream were reposted online, showing the "Donda" rapper discussing his ex-wife and her former boss. Kanye referenced how Kardashian used to work for Hilton and wished he had kids with the latter instead. He said, "Kim was Paris Hilton's assistant. I should've had babies with Paris Hilton over Kim Kardashian!" He went on, "Could you imagine if I had kids with Paris Hilton? How many hotels I'd have right now? Think about that. The Hilton. The Hilton sh-t." He continued, "I think y'all staying at the Hilton right now. The Edition Hotels is a Hilton." Kanye didn't stop at mentioning Hilton's name, but emphasized his point by dragging the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh, with whom he had previously collaborated, and the legendary actor Arnold Schwarzenegger into his rant. He first compared Kim Kardashian's relationship with Hilton to his and Abloh's relationship. Kanye said, "Paris Hilton had the vision, and that's what happened," before adding, "Kim was like the Virgil. Kim was like Paris Hilton's Virgil." He referenced Schwarzenegger by recalling that the actor cheated on his wife, Maria Shriver, and ended up having a kid with his nanny, Mildred Baena, in the 1990s, and used it as a weapon to attack Kardashian. The "Carnival" crooner said, "If you're like Arnold Schwarzenegger and you have a kid with a nanny, the nanny's only power is to take your kids." He continued, "So Kim's only power is to take my kids. I had a baby with a f-cking assistant, bro." Following his rant, Twitch moved quickly to ban Kanye, with his channel becoming unavailable 10 minutes after he began streaming. A video of Kanye's rant was obtained by Hollywood Unlocked and reposted on its Instagram page. Several fans took turns slamming Kanye for his comments, with many emphasizing how great Kardashian is as a mom and how she leveled up and became rich after working for Paris Hilton. One person said, "This is sad," while another person added, "I love how Kim NEVER reacts to any of this BS." A third fan reminded Kanye of how valuable Kardashian was to him and came through for him when he needed it most. They said, "He is talking down on the same woman that gave him millions when he was in debt!!!!!! Smh she was an assistant but now she's on her way to billionaire status! Made her whole family rich! Stop playing with Kim!" A fourth person commented, "I can't believe Kim had FOUR children with you." Someone reminded Kanye West of how he had previously spoken kindly about Kim Kardashian. They said, "Remember when Kanye said that Kim was his dream girl..." Another person opined that Kardashian won't let Kanye see his kids after his latest rant. They wrote, "Kanye will never see those kids." Meanwhile, some fans urged Hilton to sue Kanye for dragging her name into his antics. One person commented, "I hope Paris sues for saying her name," while another opined that the socialite would never have considered Kanye. They wrote, "As if Paris Hilton would touch him with a 10-foot pole, especially nowadays. Goodbye Sir! We are tired." Another person said of Kanye, "Ye bogus. Your kids are getting older, and you decide to make a video talking about you wish you had kids by Paris Hilton. You wrong Ye." Kanye West's recent livestream comments come shortly after he accused Kardashian of keeping him away from their children. Earlier this week, Kanye posted on X, "Why is the celebrity world, Jay Z, Beyoncé, Kendrick, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky included, Trump, Elon, why are you all watching and letting Kim take my kids from me in real time?" He continued, "Y'all wanna say I'm acting out because of things in my childhood, but I don't get to be a dad." However, a source close to Kardashian responded to her ex-husband's claims, stating that the rapper has the freedom to see his children whenever he chooses. "Kanye has been in LA recently for a few months and did not ask to see the kids aside from North until a week before he was leaving again," the insider told the Daily Mail. They added, "There are no limitations, but Kim prioritizes protecting her kids above all else."

Kanye West blasted for wishing he had kids with another a-list star
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Kanye West has appeared to claim he wished he had children with Paris Hilton rather than his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. The rapper, 47, has been blasted for increasingly eccentric behaviour, which includes anti-Semitic language and admitting to an incestuous relationship. After dropping new music, in which he alludes to divorcing his current wife, Bianca Censori, Ye has once again taken aim at his Skims founder ex. Ranting on Digital Nas' Twitch stream, before he was banned, he declared he should have had children with Paris, 44. 'I should've had babies with Paris Hilton over Kim Kardashian,' Ye said. '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.' Long ago (in the early to mid 2000s) Kim, 44, worked for Paris, becoming a loyal sidekick to the original reality star. The savvy Kardashian positioned herself as the Simple Life star's right-hand woman before Keeping Up With The Kardashians boosted her own fame. As her infamous 72-day union with Kris Humphries ended, Kim began a relationship with Ye, having been 'friends with for years'. He and Kim married in 2014 after two years of dating, and share four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. In 2021, she filed for divorce with her attorney saying the pair were 'not on the same page' anymore despite them trying to reconnect. Fans were furious at Ye's comments, which he made before being booted off Twitch after just seven minutes on the platform. 'Talking about your children's mother like this, especially publicly, is insane,' said Viceroy Flair on X. LaStraniera25 shared: 'Never liked Kim K but I'm with her on this one! How could he say these things that are surely hurtful to his kids..I mean how heartless can he be?!' 'I feel bad for his kids, having to hear their father talk about their mom this way,' added dariandemetri. 'This is him assuming that Paris wanted him,' slammed Ishshah_B as bitemeta joked: 'Now I ain't sayin he a gold digger.' Helpfully, CurtisCrimmins added: 'As a hotel nerd, I just need to point out that Edition is part of Marriott not Hilton.' Speaking on The Kardashians to her sister Khloe, Kim shared: 'If people knew what my relationship really was like, I think they would be like, 'How did this last this long?' 'But I can live with myself knowing that I tried everything humanly possible to make a situation work, and so I can walk away feeling absolutely guilt-free. ' When Ye's behaviour became more erratic in 2023, Kim confessed it was 'the hardest feeling to watch someone you really loved and you have a family with just be so different than who you knew.' She added that she 'misses' the man that she married and would 'do anything to get that person back.' The children still spend time with their dad, although Kim rarely discusses him or his concerning behaviour publicly. Meanwhile, Paris started dating businessman Carter Reum in 2019 and tied the knot two years later and have a son and a daughter born via surrogacy. Ye is now married to Bianca, 30, although the pair were recently speculated to have hit a rocky patch. More Trending They reconnected in Spain and went on a date night before the architect was seen back in her usual barely-there attire as she headed to the shops. Amid concern over Bianca's risque outfits, Ye has been openly antisemitic over the past few years to the point of selling t-shirts printed with swastikas. In a rant on X, he called himself a 'Nazi' only to backtrack a few weeks later once his account was reinstated and announce he was 'not a Nazi.' Got a story?
