14 DAY TRIAL // Last week, Kim Kardashian and mother / manager Kris Jenner, attended the Vienna Opera Ball, after Kim agreed to go as millionaire Richard Lugner’s date. She was paid $500,000 (€363,901) to show up, but the whole thing turned into a disaster.
First off, Kim was confronted by a man in blackface who pretended to be rapper fiancé Kanye West. The man turned out to be a standup comedian who, he claimed, meant no offense, but the incident was enough to get the reality star rattled.
Then, later in the evening, a fellow guest told her that he’d be asking her to dance later on, when the song “[N-word]s in Vienna” came on, an allusion to Kanye West’s song with Jay Z “[N-word]s in Paris.”
Kim was so upset that she stormed out of the event, with her mother in tow, but even if she hadn’t, Lugner would have probably sent her home because he found her very “annoying.”
When Kanye heard about this PR disaster, he immediately informed her that this would be the last paid appearance she would be making in a while, a source close to the rapper reveals for Radar Online. He was also the one who told her to leave the party long before it was over, and not to stand for this kind of racist abuse.
“It’s not about the money. Kanye told her no more paid appearances. It was selling her soul and not worth it. How much more money does Kim need? It cheapens Kim and her brand to be paid to go to parties,” says the spy.
It’s not even about his street cred because Kanye has long made it clear that he doesn’t care if people think he’s selling out for dating (and starting a family with) a reality star. Kanye is seriously concerned that Kim might be ruining her image by subjecting herself to this.
Meanwhile, Kris Jenner is seriously concerned that, if Kim takes Kanye’s advice, she will be bleeding money sooner than you can say “ka-ching!,” another source explains.
“Kris gets a 10 percent cut of all deals she brokers on behalf of Kim, which means she made $50,000 [€36,390] off of the Austrian appearance. She is always telling Kim that opportunities to make such big money aren’t always going to be there… her motto is, you have to strike while the iron is hot. So for the meantime, Kris doesn’t have any plans to cancel any of Kim’s upcoming appearances,” the tipster shares.
Not only Kris is not canceling anything, but she’s actually using the media attention Kim got for the Vienna disaster to book more appearances for her. The spy vouches that Kim is feeling very “trapped” right now, caught as she is between her mom and her fiancé / baby daddy.
