Maybe it was because he kept mispronouncing her name ("Kim Kar-dijon," "Kim Kardi-shawn") and the universe only manifests what you ask for clearly, but it took almost a decade's worth of other relationships and Kanye's persistence before they finally got together in 2012. But as much as Kanye wanted Kim, he knew he wanted to marry a woman who could hold her own in the power-couple equation, one who had her own capital and resources, as he told Details in 2009: "I feel like the type of girl I would be with is a fellow superhero"

I love how it was admitted the kardashians (Kim) were C list celebs. No one ever wants to admit and give Kanye credit for making the family as big as they are now. Kim couldn’t even get Kendal to become a high fashion model. But you know who did. Kanye. They never even got invited to any fashion shows except Avril lavgine bc she was dating Brody Jenner. Even the products and clothes the sisters sold was so cookie cutter and cheesy compared to how their products are now. Kim’s influence on girls how we dress do our hair and makeup BLEW UP once Kanye threw out all her clothes and started styling her. Everyone talked so badly about her always wearing black and outfit choices she’s made. Yet now we all wear sport bras w high waited leggings over sized jackets and high heels.
