Despite the shortness of their relationship, the two have been friends for years.
It has even been speculated that the rapper had been in love with Kim Kardashian back in 2009, when he appeared to refer to her in his track Knock You Down.
At the time the song was penned, Kim Kardashian was in a relationship with NFL star Reggie Bush, whom she went on to date on and off for three years.
The song includes the lines: “You was always the cheerleader of my dreams… To seem to only date the head of football teams… And I was the class clown that always kept you laughing… We were never meant to be, baby we just happened.”
He then goes on to rap: “You should leave your boyfriend now.”
And in December 2010, Kanye West was on hand when Kim Kardashian filmed her music video Jam (Turn It Up).
In scenes later broadcast on her reality show Kris Jenner was seen jokingly criticizing Kanye West for eyeing up Kim Kardashian, telling him: “Don’t be looking at her a**.”
Not one to miss a beat, quick-witted Kanye West replied: “I’ve never seen it actually.”
