Kim Kardashian Quotes Ye’s ‘Watch the Throne’ Bars in New Year’s Day Post
Written by djfrosty on January 2, 2025
Kim Kardashian quoted bars from her ex Ye — formerly known as Kanye West — with a post to her Instagram Story on Wednesday (Jan. 1) to ring in 2025.
“Sunglasses & Advil… last night was mad trill,” she wrote in her caption, which was a repost from July 2012 from her own account. The original photo features gold Cuban link shades with two Advil gels, and boasts more than 100,000 likes, including from the late designer Virgil Abloh.
The caption is partially an homage to Ye’s rhymes on Watch the Throne standout “No Church in the Wild.” “Sunglasses and Advil/ Last night was mad real/ Sun coming up 5 a.m./ I wonder if they got cabs still,” he raps on the Frank Ocean-assisted track.
Trending on Billboard
Co-produced by West and 88 Keys, “No Church in the Wild” reached No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2011.
The Skims mogul appeared to spend the holidays with family, as she posted a series of photos to Instagram featuring her four children — North, Psalm, Chicago and Saint, whom she shares with the rapper — and mom Kris Jenner and sister Kourtney Kardashian.
It doesn’t appear Ye was part of the family’s Christmas festivities. The reality star spoke about Ye’s lack of help in co-parenting when she claimed to be “raising four kids” by herself during an appearance on the What in the Winkler? podcast last year. The couple officially divorced in 2022 after Kim filed in 2021 following seven years of marriage.
“It’s not something that I talk about a lot because I feel like there is always a lot of judgment or people always will jump to the, ‘Oh, but you have the resources to have nannies and to have help,’” she said on the podcast. “And I just think that no matter what kind of help I have, basically raising four kids by myself.”
West looks to be doing his own thing bringing in 2025. The Grammy Award-winning rapper returned to social media and posted photos on Instagram with his wife, Bianca Censori, as they vacation in the Maldives.
