Kanye West ignored the advice that warned him against dating Kim Kardashian West.
The “Stronger” hitmaker defied his advisers when he struck up a romance with the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star in 2012 because they told him being with a reality star would damage his image.
Kardashian — who married Kanye in 2014 — said: “I mean, everyone would tell him ‘You can’t be with her, she’s a reality star. She’s going to sink your career!’ And he was just like ‘But I love her. Like, I don’t care’.”
The couple first met in 2002 when she was married to Damon Thomas, but she claims he was always attracted to her. When they did finally get together, she couldn’t believe they hadn’t hooked up before because it felt so “right.”
Speaking in a preview of “True Hollywood Story,” which analyzes Kardashian’s rise to fame, she said: “I met Kanye in 2002. He would ask everyone who I was, and they always said like, ‘Oh, she has a boyfriend.’
“We just always kept on connecting and coming into each other’s lives. Then, he invited me to Paris to his fashion show, and that’s when it happened.
“That’s when we started our relationship. And I was like ‘S–t, why didn’t this happen sooner?’It was just right.'”
The 42-year-old rapper recalled his “magnetic attraction” to Kardashian and hailed the “pure” star a “force of energy.”
He gushed in the preview: “Any time I was around her and I saw her, it was magnetic attraction to this force of energy. She was good, pure, happy, loving, brave, courageous, strong.”
In addition to West, the 38-year-old Kardashian’s sisters Khloé and Kourtney, have also given interviews for the Sunday, Oct. 13, 2019, show, as well as her best friend Jonathan Cheban.
