Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Have Principles After All
Sometimes it seems that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West would do absolutely anything for publicity. The Kardashian clan have carved a multi-million dollar career out of creating publicity, and Kanye is certainly no wallflower. West is brash and outspoken, whilst Kardashian was recently reported to have hired a body double to try on maternity clothing for her because she was “too tired” to try on clothes. The Kardashians seem willing to spill even the most intimate of family secrets in the pursuit of keeping the Kardashian name in the headlines.
It often seems that Kardashian is oblivious to the criticism she is subjected to. Just last week, it was reported in the Inquisitr that West and Kardashian had been roundly criticized for dressing daughter North West in a $3,600 fur coat for a trip to a playground. The Mirror reported that Kardashian and West responded by promising that in future, they will only wear “ethically sourced furs” or fur obtained from roadkill.
You would be forgiven for thinking that Kardashian and West are so far divorced from reality that they really do not understand the principles at stake. That said, if reports in the Daily Mail are correct, it seems that Kardashian and West do have principles, after all. It is claimed that Kanye and Kardashian have turned down around $2.5 million for exclusive first pictures of their newborn son, Saint West.
It is believed that West and Kardashian also turned down similar deals when North was born back in 2013. It seems that even Kardashian and West have a line that they will not cross. Who knew?
Meanwhile, Kim’s sister, Khloe Kardashian, claims that Kim and Kanye are “chill” parents. Speaking to USA Today, Khloe said “Kim and Kanye are just really chill. They’re calm,” and it seems that their calm has rubbed off on baby Saint.
“He’s just a calm, great baby. Babies don’t do much at this age, so I don’t have much to report on him, But, how beautiful!”
Khloe also revealed that in the Kardashian birthing room everything remains calm.
“You see the movies and everyone’s crazy and screaming. It’s really not like that. I’ve seen my mom give birth twice, Kourtney give birth to all her kids and now, Kim. They’ve all been really calm.”
Perhaps this oasis of calm is being stored up for a future episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Meanwhile, according to NME, Kim has taken to Twitter to explain the late arrival of Kanye’s new track “No More Parties In L.A.” Kardashian explained that Kanye was “too busy putting the final touches to his latest Yeezy fashion collection.”
I soooo didn't mean to lie to you guys about GOOD FRIDAYS coming back. Kanye flew to Italy for a Yezzy Season 3 fitting.

Kardashian had previously said that Kanye would be giving away free new music each week as part of his revived GOOD Fridays series. Kanye first introduced his GOOD Friday habit of releasing a new song online every Friday ahead of the release of his critically-acclaimed 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
Kanye’s new track features Kendrick Lamar, and Rolling Stone reports that West uses Lamar to great effect as a foil to showcase his “unparalleled skills.” West’s Madlib-produced track clocks in at over six minutes long, and seems to indicate that Kanye has rediscovered his muse.
At present, it is unknown whether or not “No More Parties in L.A.” or the previously released “Real Friends” will appear on the much delayed Swish album, which West has revealed arrives February 11, but three GOOD Friday releases did make it onto My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
