Why Kim Kardashian Showed Up At Kanye West’s ‘Vultures’ Listening Party

“It’s not like Kim went down the street for this,” a source told the publication. “She flew to San Francisco, and, of course, Kanye was thankful. It was a concerted effort on her part.”
The source confirmed Kardashian knew Censori would be at the event but emphasized the beauty mogul wasn’t there for her. They also revealed a surprisingly positive development about Censori’s role as stepmother to Kardashian’s four kids with West: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
“They do talk,” the source said about the female duo. “Kim has accepted that Bianca is the stepmother to her children and that they love her.”
