Kim Kardashian lays into Rhymefest again: ‘I will always ride for my man’
If you thought there might be tension between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West over his recent antics, think again!
Days ago, former Kanye West collaborator Rhymefest released a statement from their non-profit Donda’s House, separating the charity from the rapper after his most recent erratic behavior. That didn’t sit well with Kim Kardashian, who took to Twitter soon after and tore the “Jesus Walks” songwriter to pieces.
That resulted in Rhymefest officially dumping the Donda’s House name in regard to his own charity work in Chicago, with plans to rename the non-prvofit and separate himself from the Kardashian-West brand but not before launching several claims at Kim including one that she’s never even been involved with Donda’s House.

Clearly still angry over the whole Rhymefest drama, Kim took to Twitter again to clear things up with another long string of tweets. This time, she explained how the Donda’s House non-profit came about and also why there was an issue with funding.
Let me break this all the way down ...

Now when Kim says something like this, you know it’s about to get really good. Grab some popcorn and get ready for the story of how Kanye West and Rhymefest fell out.
Kanye and Donda started a charity called Loop Dreams. When Donda passed, they changed the name to Donda’s House. Kanye paid Rhymefest a salary to run it.

After several years of lack of performance from the organization and Kanye going through personal financial issues, he could no longer fund salaries. Rhymefest asked to take it over and Kanye agreed with no financial strings attached.

Kanye gave his “friend” an opportunity to run an organization on his own. So now that Kanye is being publicly shamed for not being involved makes no sense and, at this exact time, just seems very calculated.

I have and will always applaud any efforts to give back to the community. To fight for justice and to help uplift the youth. But I will never tolerate someone who was close to Kanye who attempts to use his late mother’s name to publicly shame him while pretending to do good.

Now, this right here is very true. Kim Kardashian has been very supportive of several non-profits in the past and her family has too. She and the rest of the KarJenner clan donated money after each of the three major hurricanes last year. It’s also not a secret that Kim has worked hard to free Cyntoia Brown and Alice Johnson.
Initially, after hearing that Kanye West “abandoned” the Donda’s House non-profit, there was a lot of criticism aimed at both Kim and Kanye for not stepping up. However, now its turned into a literal he said-she said about this latest falling out with Rhymefest.
I will always ride for my man!

In all of this drama, one thing that really should happen is that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West should reclaim the Donda’s House name and revive the non-profit. Considering how harshly Kanye criticized Barack Obama for not giving back to Chicago after becoming president, it only seems fitting that he would step up and prove that he really loves the city that he was raised in and that he named his third child after.
As far as Kanye and Rhymefest making up, the songwriter had a huge role in Kanye’s fame with some of the songs that he wrote and was involved in writing. Hopefully, they can find peace and work things out as well.
