The speaker discusses her role as a supportive partner to Kanye West amidst public controversy, media scrutiny, and political tension.

I'm in New York for the Met and, you know,
there's so much going on with Alice's case and Kanye,
but here is what I've realized.
I'm always going to be me, so I could be, you know,
getting ready for this big fashion event,
doing a new shoot, doing whatever,
and still making calls at the White House.
Like, that's just me. It's who I am.
And it is what it is.
Hey, babe.
Oops.
What?
So, you said it wasn't happening,
and then you called me and said,
I'm here. Bye.
And I tried calling you,
and you didn't have your phone on.
You weren't answering.
So, okay. Bye.
Kanye's doing TMZ live right now.
So, I'm going to do the Ellen show today,
and, of course, something always happens.
So, Kim and Kanye called me.
Mm-hmm.
And they said,
I just can't be the person talking about Kanye.
So, Kanye and Kim called me and said,
listen, you've got to cancel Ellen.
I said, well, I wouldn't do that.
I'm not going to cancel Ellen.
And they said,
well, you're just not the person
who's qualified to talk about Kanye.
Like, you'll just make it worse.
I just want to make everything better.
You know me.
I want everybody to get along.
I want everybody to be happy.
I want everybody to understand one another,
communicate.
Even though Kanye went on TMZ this morning
and made some controversial comments,
you know, my loyalty really lies with Kanye.
Babe, I thought this would help ease your tension a little bit.
Aw, thank you, babe.
I just can't control everybody.
Yeah.
Thanks, babe.
I'll be right there next to her.
It's really my job to be there to support Kanye
and be somebody that's in his life
that offers him love and support
and not criticism.
We're going to get this out of the way
because I think people are tuning in
and they are thinking you're going to just,
we're going to talk about Kanye the whole time,
and we're not.
Kanye always does things with really good intentions.
So I'm going to let him explain himself.
Okay.
I just keep rolling on.
Yeah.
Trying to keep up.
Yeah.
With the Kardashians.
I'm in New York for the Met,
and, you know,
there's so much going on with Alice's case
and Kanye,
but here is what I've realized.
I'm always going to be me.
So I could be, you know,
getting ready for this big fashion event,
doing a new shoot,
doing whatever I want,
and still making calls at the White House.
Like, that's just me.
It's who I am,
and it is what it is.
How's Kanye doing?
He's doing good.
Everyone thinks he's, like,
having a breakdown or, like...
Because of the TMZ thing.
And just because of his tweets.
Well, TMZ was wild.
When I saw the clip, I was like,
okay, I rushed home.
I was hysterically crying.
So I go home.
He's totally fine.
The thing is, when he gets ramped up...
He has to do it.
He can't control what he says.
He can't let it go.
But he loves being ramped up.
He's like, I feel powerful when I'm ramped up.
Like, I don't want to be, like, so suppressed.
Like, yeah, I say crazy ----,
but I've always said crazy ----.
But that's why I'm Kanye, you know?
I always know what Kanye's intentions are
and what he's trying to say.
But I also know that they're going to write a headline
and people are going to assume
that that's exactly what you meant.
You know?
But all the headlines just took...
Yeah.
That, as a wife, is really frustrating
to see the media take everything
and run with it.
Should we pop the champagne?
Do you even drink champagne anymore?
Ever?
Kim, did you ever drink champagne?
Kim, do you drink champagne anymore?
Kim, are you a champagne drinker?
I hate champagne.
So do I.
People love it.
I don't know.
I'm not a...
Too much sugar.
I actually stopped drinking everything
for nine months.
What do you mean by everything?
So no sugar in your pot.
No drinking.
Yeah.
Yeah, don't.
Yeah.
I'm so excited to be in Wyoming
for Kanye's listening party.
It was all such a last-minute thing,
but I feel like after TMZ,
Kanye's changed his whole album
and I'm just excited
so many people came out to support.
Kanye is doing press while he's here in Wyoming,
so he's going to have a chance
to talk to Charlamagne
and just express how he feels.
So I'm glad that now we can just have fun
and just listen to the music
and have a good time.
People see you running around
in the Make America Great Again hat.
Your blackness will be questioned.
Yeah, see, that's...
People out here saying you love Trump,
your blackness will be questioned,
especially a guy that's directly
trying to oppress us,
trying to marginalize us.
I'm not saying apologies.
I'm talking about the fact
that this person was not supposed to do that.
How many times have you heard somebody say,
everybody hates Trump, right?
I got love, I'm dealing with love.
That's my main message that's getting clouded.
It's like, nah,
why don't we step forward with love?
Why don't we see what we can do with love?
It seems like we're not getting too much done with hate.
I obviously support him and will always,
but he likes to speak for himself
and I like to speak for myself.
You know, as his wife,
I just have to express how I feel
and have those private conversations with him
and just help him better communicate
what he really means to say.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome.
I hope everybody's appreciating what's going on.
This is not done every day.
The latest of us.
From the one and only Kanye West.
Man, I knew you wouldn't leave.
They said build your own,
I said halfway.
I said slavery a choice,
they said hi-yay.
Just imagine if they caught me on a wild day.
Now I'm on 50 blogs,
getting 50 calls.
My wife calling,
screaming,
say we about to lose it all.
Had to calm her down
cause she couldn't breathe.
Told her she could leave me now,
but she wouldn't leave.
And I know you wouldn't leave.
Come on.
Where are we sitting?
We're sitting next to Daddy.
Hi.
Hey.
Hi.
Do you want me to make you a plate?
Do you want to sit right here next to me?
I like the new song.
Word?
Yeah.
Thank you.
You're allowed to listen to that?
Yeah.
He made me listen the whole car ride home.
Yeah.
Really?
And then he kept...
What part do you like the most?
Oh, you can't ask.
No, no.
But he's good,
he won't say ho,
or sorry, whatever.
What part do you like?
I just like the whole thing.
That is so funny.
Every time I think that I've had a crazy year,
I live the next year.
It's even crazier.
What did you put in your dad's ear?
A flower.
Oh.
