Reality TV star Kim Kardashian might really be ride or die. The hip-hop wife has relied on the power of social media to throw some serious shade at fashion brand Saint Laurent for possibly jacking her husband Kanye West’s ideas.
This week, Kim K targeted YSL on her Instagram Story with some jaw-dropping comparison pics.

According to reports, Kanye West and Saint Laurent have a rocky past.
Though we don’t know that we’d call this a direct accusation, Saint Laurent and the West family do have a history together, and it’s not all positive. Kanye has written a song in honor of former YSL creative director Hedi Slimane called “I Am a God” after Slimane would only grant him a show invite if he wouldn’t attend any others. After hearing about the condition, Kanye was less than pleased. (InStyle)
A few years back, Kanye revealed he created “I Am a God” off getting told by a former YSL executive he could attend their Paris Fashion Week show only if he didn’t attend others.
“So the next day I went to the studio with Daft Punk, and I wrote ‘I Am a God,’ ” West says. “Cause it’s like, Yo! Nobody can tell me where I can and can’t go. Man, I’m the No. 1 living and breathing rock star. I am Axl Rose; I am Jim Morrison; I am Jimi Hendrix.” West is not smiling as he says this, and his voice is getting louder with each sentence. “You can’t say that you love music and then say that Kanye West can’t come to your show! To even think they could tell me where I could and couldn’t go is just ludicrous. It’s blasphemous—to rock ’n’ roll, and to music.” (W Magazine)
This week, Kim Kardashian gave fans an intimate look at Kanye’s upcoming Yeezy Season 7 apparel.
