One of the oddest things about the Kardashian-Jenner family is that Kris Jenner is truly the manager for the entire clan. Even if you just marry into the family, even if you just put a baby into one of them, Kris Jenner is your manager now. I remember when Kris Jenner became Lamar Odom’s manager and I just thought it was so f–king weird: here was this pro athlete, making millions of dollars a year, and he ends up being managed by his wife’s mother. Granted, Kris Jenner is a “good manager” in that she absolutely put her family on the map and she makes sure that they’re all very, very rich. But I would still want to have a manager outside of the family, I guess?
Anyway, Kanye West was the only hold-out of the men around the Kardash-Jenner women. Kanye had a longtime relationship with manager Izvor “Izzy” Zivkovic. But Kanye recently ended his relationship with Zivkovic, and word was that Kanye was going to sign with Scooter Braun, best known as the manager to the most high-maintenance divas, like Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber. Well, now Page Six reports that Kanye is actually going to be managed by Kris Jenner.
Kris Jenner is now guiding the careers of two of the rap world’s hottest artists — Kanye West and Travis Scott. Sources tell us that the Kardashian clan momager is behind her son-in-law West’s parting ways with his longtime manager Izvor “Izzy” Zivkovic, as well as Scott’s leaving his own management team.
“They’ve been off and on for years,” said a source of West and Zivkovic. “But Kris is in [West’s] ears. Kanye’s been making changes and [he and Zivkovic] have grown apart — but Kris definitely gives her opinion and Kanye’s all ears. She’s about brand building and is gangster at it,” the insider said.
“She also told Travis Scott [father of Kris’ new granddaughter, Stormi, with Kylie Jenner] to fire Mark Gillespie. They are 100 percent part of that Kardashian-Jenner brand.” Scott left Gillespie’s Three Six Zero management last month, weeks before West parted ways with Zivkovic.
The two rappers have been collaborating together to deliver West a hit, and have been spotted recording in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
One of the things I’ve always liked about Kanye is how much he truly adores Kim’s family. Kanye and Kris are genuinely close, and he respects her deeply. It wouldn’t surprise me if he has gone to Kris for business and financial and managerial advice for years. But it’s still weird, right? Kris Jenner is now Kanye West’s manager, for the love of God.
As for Travis Scott… well, I don’t even know. I doubt he’ll be around for very long, but we’ll see. Kylie Jenner denied this, but she denies a lot of sh-t that is very obviously true, so whatever.
this isn’t true 🤦🏻♀️
