Kim Kardashian & Kanye West

No sooner did Kanye West’s latest single, “Theraflu,” surface late Wednesday night — in which the Chicago-native rapper says, “I admit I fell in love with Kim” — than gossip sites reported Thursday morning that West and reality TV star Kim Kardashian are indeed a couple.

“Kim and Kanye have now just started dating,” a source told People magazine, adding that the two high-profile celebs are keeping things “light” and “seeing where it goes.”

Where it went Wednesday night was to dinner and a movie (“The Hunger Games”) in New York. Thursday morning, TMZ.com published photos of Kardashian “leaving from the building where Kanye lives ... wearing the same clothes she rocked to the movies last night.” Kardashian is scheduled to host NBC’s “Today” show Friday morning.

West, 34, has appeared with Kardashian, 31, on “Kourtney & Kim Take New York,” one of several Kardashian family-brand reality TV series.

“We’ve been friends for years,” Kardashian told Ryan Seacrest in a radio interview last month. “We just support each other. That’s what friends do.”
In fact, their relationship goes back at least as far as West’s previous romance.

West split up with former girlfriend Amber Rose in 2010, and Rose later claimed that Kardashian was the cause. But Kardashian last year wed NBA player Kris Humphries — the marriage that infamously lasted 72 days. Meanwhile, just last month, Rose married another rapper, Wiz Khalifa.

Most of this drama is covered in the middle of “Theraflu”:

Only n---- I got respect for is Wiz

And I’ll admit, I fell in love with Kim

Around the time she had fell in love with him

Well that’s cool, baby girl, do ya thang

Lucky I ain’t had Jay drop him from the team

Break out your gossip-decoding rings for this one.

The “him” for Kim in that lyric is Humphries, and the last line refers to Jay-Z, West’s current touring partner and co-owner of Humphries’ team, the New Jersey Nets.

(Chicagoans may enjoy another part of “Theraflu,” the final minute of the song in which DJ Pharris chimes in with a Google Maps-specific shout-out to Chicago’s South Side, including calls to “47th Street! Garfield Park! / 79th! Stony Island! ... 64th and King Drive, what up!? / 83rd! Cottage Grove! The Gardens! / This Chicago, n----! / The Dearborns! 55th! / Cabrini Green! Terror Town! / West Side! Pocket Town, it’s Chicago!”)

“Theraflu,” however, was not the song fans were expecting to hear first this week from Kanye’s camp.

Overnight, West was expected to unveil the song “Mercy,” an official single release from an upcoming mixtape compilation from West’s G.O.O.D. record label, a branch of Island Def Jam. “Mercy” features West collaborating with Pusha T, Big Sean and 2 Chainz. The full album is expected to include G.O.O.D. artists John Legend, Common, Kid Cudi, CyHi da Prynce, Mr. Hudson and others.

But according to Chicago hip-hop blog Fake Shore Drive, “Theraflu” actually was a leak from West’s next solo project. West released the acclaimed “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” album in 2010, and last year saw his collaboration with Jay-Z on “Watch the Throne.” Most online streams of “Theraflu” were yanked by midday Thursday.

West has used the Christian holiday as a G.O.O.D. marketing gimmick before. He began posting tracks from “Fantasy” on Good Friday in 2010.
No release date for the new G.O.O.D. compilation has been set, but producer Mannie Fresh recently told MTV News it was “pretty close” to being finished. “Songs phenomenal, everything,” he said. “It’s an album that’s all over the place, it’s not just one thing. It’s not just that you’re gonna hear some Southern hip-hop or whatever. You’re gonna hear everything.”

Meanwhile, “Theraflu” is produced by Hit-Boy, who also helmed West and Jay-Z’s “Watch the Throne” hit single “N----s in Paris” (the song they enjoy repeating and repeating as a concert encore).

West and Jay-Z will take their “Throne” tour to Britain this summer, and Jay-Z has hinted that a second “Throne” album may be coming: “You might see a Jay, then Kanye and a ‘Throne’ album next year. We’ve really found our zone.”

Kim Kardashian on Kanye West romance: ‘You never know what the future holds’



Kim Kardashian is keeping up the hype over her rumored rebound with Kanye West.

The brunette bombshell, 31, stopped by NBC’s “Today” on Friday and giggled through a series a questions about her whirlwind dating spree with the 34-year-old dapper rapper.

Asked if she enjoyed sitting with West in a dark theater for a showing of “The Hunger Games” on Wednesday, Kardashian dodged the real question.


“The movie was really interesting,” she told Ann Curry with a laugh. “I’m glad (co-host Matt Lauer) is not doing the interview on this part, you know, with the Kanye questions.”

Curry laughed too, but took the challenge to dig deeper.

“On Twitter they’re even calling you Kimye. Do you want to clarify this in any way,” Curry asked.

“I completely respect and understand that you have to ask these questions, but I've said before, Kanye and I have been friends for years," Kardashian said.

“You know, you never know what the future holds or where my life will take me,” she continued. “So… I like the song!"
West’s new track, “Thera Flu,” includes the lyrical confession that he “fell in love with Kim” around the same time she fell for husband Kris Humphries, 27.

“Well that’s cool, baby girl, do your thing. Lucky I ain’t have Jay drop him from the team,” West raps, dissing the hoopster hubby who plays for the New Jersey Nets, the team owned by West’s good friend Jay-Z.

Curry asked the still-married celebutante why she hasn’t given in to Humphries’ request for an annulment of their 72-day marriage.

“I'm sure I would love one myself, but you know, there's certain guidelines on how you can get one and I'm not sure that we fall under that," the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star said.


“We are still going through a divorce, so there's not really much that I'm allowed to talk about. Out of respect for him, I try not to really talk about stuff, you know, involving him regarding that situation,” she said. “I'm just really ready to close that, I have closed that chapter. I'm just really ready to move on."

Moving on is what she did in Manhattan this week.

After Kardashian and West’s movie date Wednesday, the two visited the hot new interactive play “Sleep No More” on W. 27th Street, hit nearby Manderley Bar and had a sleepover at the rapper’s Tribeca pad.

Kardashian was photographed leaving West’s building at 10 a.m. Thursday in the same clothes from the night before.

The duo then met for lunch with friends at Serafina on E. 61st Street before heading over to the nearby FAO Schwartz for some shopping. The couple then dined at Cafeteria in Chelsea Thursday night.
"Kim likes Kanye," a friend of the reality star tells the Daily News. "She's happy to have met someone who like her and understands her crazy life.

I'm no Kanye fan but this track is RAW!

Too many BM makes fools out of themselves and get burned over this woman. She's attractive but I really don't see what the appeal is.

 

Real talk. Gangsta

#broughttoyoubythegoodpeopleatRocafellaRecords

 

Bet you would if she gave you the time of day. Shes bad kid

 

They both like attention so it could be a match made in heaven. :smt049

 

She cute and all but I dont want an 2010 Lamborghini with 250,000 miles on it requiring ultra high maintenance. That's not a daily driver type ride

 

hahahahaha!

 

Great analogy

 

Is that about him or her?? I think could be said about both of them.

Kanye wearing a woman's sweater during Fashion Week. By his own admission. He would probably fight for mirror time too.

 

I'm no fan of either "K"... but if they are dating and can find happiness with each other, more power to them...

 

Co-sign.

 

This woman is all about the Kardashian brand and publicity.

Everything she does is about garnering attention on herself.

Like that ridiculous marraige to Kris Humphries, that was when I realized Kardashian isn't about shit but the media attention.

Not hating on her though, just realized what she is all about.

 

LOL, that shit would run you broke.

 

not bad hmm

 

Wurd....
