Kanye West samples Kim Kardashian’s SNL monologue (where she called him a ‘talented genius’) before taking a swipe at Pete Davidson and bringing Marilyn Manson onto the stage at Donda 2 listening event in Miami – but fails to drop the album
Kanye West continued to rock the boat with Kim Kardashian during his star-studded Donda 2 listening event at LoanDepot Park stadium in Miami, Florida on Tuesday night.
The rapper, 44, sampled a line from the 41-year-old reality star’s Saturday Night Live opening monologue ahead of his new track Sci-Fi, before taking a swipe at his estranged wife’s new boyfriend Pete Davidson.
West – who also brought out accused rapist Marilyn Manson to the stage during his performance – was officially premiering his latest album, yet then failed to release the track.
The star had previously vowed to drop the album on Tuesday exclusively on his own device Stem Player which costs $200.
Ahead of his new track Sci-Fi, West included a sample of Kardashian’s SNL speech, in which she said: ‘I married the best rapper of all time. Not only that, he is the richest black man in America. A talented, legit genius who gave me four incredible kids.’
She filed for divorce in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage. The former couple share four children: North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two.
Kardashian hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time in October 2021, just eight months after her and West’s public divorce proceedings.
West was in New York City at the time of the episode’s taping, with several reports claiming that he was coaching the SKIMS founder ahead of her hosting debut.
