Kim Kardashian Defends Kanye West Amid Rhymefest Accusations About Abandoning Charity

Kanye West is in the eye of the storm again. This time, the controversy he is facing was started by rapper Rhymefest, who is handling their charity called Donda’s House.
Rhymefirst first tweeted to Drake, who just released a diss track against Kanye on Friday, according to People. Rhyme first said Kanye “abandoned” his non-profit organization called Donda’s House, which provides art lessons for the disadvantage youth. The charity was named after Kanye’s mother, Donda West.
I’m asking @Drake to help the part of Chicago Kanye has Abandoned! Please contact @DondasHouse

Despite “multiple attempts” asking for financial support, Rhymefirst said Kanye turned a blind eye towards the organization. What made things worse was Kanye’s recent statements about President Donald Trump and slavery, according to E! News. The organization is concerned that many patrons would “penalize or throw away their support, respect or advocacy” for the organization.
“As we seek to support to convert Kanye's childhood home into a recording studio, museum and learning space—we have been unable to secure the financial support of Kanye despite multiple attempts and despite those early conversations about his plan of support and advocacy of the youth in our programs,” their statement read.

When Kim Kardashian heard about the news, she decided to share their side of the story.
Let me break this all the way down ...

Kanye and Donda started a charity called Loop Dreams. When Donda passed, they changed the name to Donda’s House. Kanye paid Rhymefest a salary to run it.

After several years of lack of performance from the organization and Kanye going through personal financial issues, he could no longer fund salaries. Rhymefest asked to take it over and Kanye agreed with no financial strings attached.

She even said there was something fishy in the timing of Rhymefest’s tweet.
Kanye gave his “friend” an opportunity to run an organization on his own. So now that Kanye is being publicly shamed for not being involved makes no sense and, at this exact time, just seems very calculated.

I have and will always applaud any efforts to give back to the community. To fight for justice and to help uplift the youth. But I will never tolerate someone who was close to Kanye who attempts to use his late mother’s name to publicly shame him while pretending to do good.
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) May 27, 2018
She also made it known that she will defend Kanye no matter what happens.
I will always ride for my man!
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) May 27, 2018
At the same time, she took some jabs against the rapper and even begged for understanding from her Twitter followers since they do not know who Rhymefest is.
Sorry to all of my followers for flooding my timeline I know you have no idea who Rhymefest is.

U haven’t been right since u got kicked out of the studio in Hawaii wearing fake Yeezy’s @RHYMEFEST 😂 You’re over levergenging Kanye’s name & asked Kanye to donate money to u so stop w your fake community politics & lies. Truth is you haven’t been able to sustain the foundation
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) May 26, 2018
You better believe I will make it my mission to take Donda’s House from you and let my children run it the way it should be run! @RHYMEFEST
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) May 26, 2018
You didn’t say this when Kanye paid you up front then you disappeared during Pablo #RealFriends @RHYMEFEST
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) May 26, 2018
I saw you at our studio a few weeks ago so why didn’t you bring this up then @RHYMEFEST ? You were trying to get Kanye to listen to your sub par beats. You have the audacity to use Kanye’s mom name to try to shead a negative light on Kanye.

Oh and lastly your flight cancelled to Wyoming. You thought you were really worthy to be on this album 😂😂😂
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) May 26, 2018
Naturally, Rhymefest had to respond to her series of tweets.
Hey @KimKardashian good to hear from you. Here’s my response pic.twitter.com/dWvwZfr1b5

Kim and Kanye don’t always see eye to eye, but they always make it a point to stand by each other’s side no matter what happens. During the height of Kanye’s Twitter firestorm about Trump, Kim never left his side.
“Kanye is the most amazing person when he’s not acting like this. But when he gets manic, it’s really hard for everyone around him,” an insider told People. “Kim is absolutely worried about him right now, but she will defend him publicly to the end. She’s a very loyal wife, and her tweets and everything she’s been saying is definitely very calculated to help Kanye.”
Despite the controversies surrounding West’s tweets, the insider said “things are going on normally” for the rest of the family and they are going about their daily work schedules.
