Kanye West was a millionaire rap icon but he couldn’t keep up with Kim Kardashian

I KNEW the mo­ment Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s marriage was over.

It was July 22 last year, during a bout of particularly erratic tweets by Kanye, where he accused his wife of cheating and claimed he wanted a divorce, that he made the gravest marital mistake of all.

He compared his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, to North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-Un.

When I read “Kris Jong-Un” on his midnight Twitter ramblings I made a noise similar to when watching a skateboard stunt go very badly wrong. During that sharp intake of breath through my teeth, I thought: “He’s done it now.”

Because, let’s face it. Behind every great woman is another great woman. And the powerhouse that is momager Kris Jenner cannot be beaten.

Every single one of her five female offspring — Kourtney, 41, Kim, 40, Khloe, 36, Kendall, 25, and Kylie, 23 — is a multi­millionaire. And she never lets pesky boyfriends and/or hus­bands get in the way of their success. Or her ten per cent.

Like many other halves before him, Kanye, 43, simply couldn’t keep up with a Kardashian.

He is joining the ranks of Scott Disick, 37 (multiple stays in rehab) who dated Kourtney on and off from 2006 to 2015; Lamar Odom, 41 (near-death drug and prosтιтute binge) who was married to Khloe for seven years; and Kris’s ex-husband Caitlyn Jenner (Sєx change).
