One of the earliest supporters of Caitlyn Jenner’s transition was Kanye West, and the superstar emcee will soon continue that support when he appears on the premiere episode of Jenner’s upcoming reality series, “I Am Cait.”
It was West who helped wife Kim Kardashian come to terms with Jenner’s transition telling her, “‘Look, I can be married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and I am. I can have the most beautiful little daughter in the world, and I have that. But I’m nothing if I can’t be me. If I can’t be true to myself, they don’t mean anything.” From that moment on, Kardashian says she looked at the situation in a totally different light.
In the forthcoming episode, the “All Day” rapper and Jenner have a heartwarming exchange during his visit to Jenner’s home.
“I think this is one of the strongest things that have happened in our existence as human beings, that are so controlled by perception you couldn’t have been up against more,” West tells Jenner.
At another point in the show, Jenner relates that she and West “have never really been very close” but she loves how “his open mindedness has helped Kim come to grips with what’s going on.”
“I Am Cait” premieres on the E! Network on Sunday, July 26 at 8 p.m.
