Kim Kardashian and Kanye West became one of the most famous couples in showbiz – and it seems for Kanye, it was written in the stars.
The pair started dating and ultimately tied the knot in 2014, but in a documentary set to air on Sky, it’s claimed Kanye was infatuated with Kim way before. His pal Malik Yusef opened up about the first time Kanye heard of the billionaire.

Kim Kardashian went viral and ultimately landed her TV show shortly after a sex tape with her ex Ray-J was leaked to the world. According to Yusef that spurred Kanye’s passion for Kim.
Speaking on the new documentary House of Kardashian, Malik explained that Kanye first became “infatuated” with Kim after her sex tape was leaked. Yusef said: “Kanye’s infatuation with Kim – maybe some flight obsession with Kim Kardashian – came from this sex video.

“When she first came into our life she was very famous. We were like rap famous which was a different kind of fame. During that time span, Kanye was trying to make his way into television and started working on this hip hop muppet show.”
He explained that Kanye was “obsessed” with getting Kim down to the set. Yusef added: “We talked about it and he was like ‘that’s my dream girl’.”
Yusef said that Kanye immediately said he “loved” her after she came on the show. He added: “He was so impressed with her it was so crazy.

“There was such innocence involved but he was just over the f****g moon.” He added that things soon took a turn because Kanye became “unpredictable”.
After Kim and Kanye got married in 2014 the pair welcomed their own clan of children. However, years later in 2012, Kim filed for divorce from Kanye and spoke about the divorce on The Kardashians.

Speaking of Kanye’s controversial statements online, Kim said: “I used to spend hours and hours and hours of my days as the clean-up crew. I just don’t have that energy.” She added: “It’s the hardest feeling to watch someone you really loved and have a family with, just be so different from who you knew.”
Kim confessed that since her split from Kanye she decided to block a lot of TV so her children wouldn’t be able to hear about his controversies.
House of Kardashian airs on Sky documentaries on Sunday, October 8.
