A source close to the couple tells PEOPLE that West, 43, and Kardashian, 40, are like most couples who have suffered the typical ups and downs of marriage. The source revealed that the prison reform work that Kardashian has thrown herself into and West’s fashion and land building aims have kept their lives from clashing as of late. “Kim has work and projects that are important to her, and Kanye has his,” said the source to the outlet. “Their lives don’t overlap much.” Kardashian is currently stud...

Credit: Dana Edelson/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images via Getty Images You can’t discuss the last two decades of rap without mentioning Kanye West.

Ego Trippin’: Kanye West Is Voting For The First Time In His Life, For Himself
Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Kanye West is voting for his first time ever. So it’s on brand that the struggle Presidential candidate who has absolutely no chance of winning says he will be voting for himself.

Black Ops: Kanye West Makes One Last Plea For President In A ‘New York Times’ Ad
Source: Neil Mockford / Getty Even with only days left for people to cast their ballot for President of the United States, and millions of people already having done so, Kanye West is still holding out hope that he can spoil Joe Biden’s Presidential aspirations and help keep Donald Trump in the White House. According to Page Six, Yeezy took out a page in the New York Times on Friday to continue to sell himself to voters as the choice to be the next President even though Kanye’s name is only on the ballots in a handful of states.

Our future hol...
Kanye West Spoke To Joe Rogan For 3 Hours, Says Oprah Told Him Not To Run
Source: Neil Mockford / Getty Kanye West is quite loquacious. The struggle Presidential candidate spoke to Joe Rogan for three hours, and even detailed how Oprah Winfrey urged him not to run. Of course, Yeezy didn’t actually listen to Oprah. Just like he said he would, West sat down with the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, and it was a doozy. For nearly three hours, West hit a myriad of topics including his relationship with God, building a soundstage in Atlanta, making his kicks more affordable, the Titanic and all types of other random or not so random sh*t. But the Oprah moment did stick out. “I remember running into Oprah two days or one day after that, and she’s like you don’t want to be president,” said West. “One of the things Oprah said is she said, ‘You got to bone up on your foreig...
