  • Kim Kardashian just told the wildest story of why Kanye West once gave her $1 million for Mother's Day.

  • She also talked about their working relationship and shared that they have a mood board that they're "constantly" working on.


Kanye West has seemed preoccupied by his whole Sunday service operation lately (find everything you've ever wanted to know about it right over here), but that doesn't mean he can't find the time to consult with wife Kim Kardashian about the brands that she promotes on her Instagram. Cause the couple that 'grams together, stays together, I guess!

And not only do Kim and Kanye consult about such matters, but of course, Kanye also lets his opinions be known (and did you really think that he would have it any other way?). In a new interview with The New York Times, Kim talks about what she promotes on social media, saying that she turns down more offers than she accepts.

Kim also adds that one time an unnamed fast fashion line offered her $1 million for a single post (!!!), but Kanye didn't want her to do it, saying, “These companies knock off my stuff." So Kim passed on the offer, and then for Mother's Day, Kanye went ahead and wrote Kim a check for $1 million himself! Kim says, “He wrote me a check for that amount and said ‘Thank you so much for always being supportive and not posting.’” And you thought that the whole Kenny G thing was excessive!

Plus, just in case you wanted to know more about Kim and Kanye's working relationship, the NYT also reports that in her living room, "there’s a 'mood board' that she and Kanye constantly work on: a collection of looks they like, or tweaks they want to make to Kim’s cosmetic, fragrance and accessory lines."

The interview also mentions that Kanye helped as a creative director of the upcoming season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, so we all have that to look forward to!
