Kanye West claim Kim Kardashian accused him of ‘putting hit’ resurfaces after ‘Kardashians’ season 7 trailer

Kanye West’s 2022 allegation that Kim Kardashian accused him of plotting a hit resurfaces after Season 7 trailer

Kanye West’s past allegations that Kim Kardashian once accused him of “putting a hit out on her” have resurfaced following a new teaser for Season 7 of The Kardashians.

In February 2022, West publicly claimed via X (formerly Twitter) that the reality star made the accusation during their divorce proceedings. “Yesterday Kim accused me of putting a hit out on her,” the rapper, 48, wrote at the time. He further alleged that Kardashian’s claims could “actually get someone locked up,” adding that such accusations play dangerously with “Black men’s lives,” whether in matters of freedom or imprisonment. West also stated he had been accused of being on drugs, stealing graphic novels, and facing restrictions over attending his daughter’s birthday party.

Representatives for Kardashian, now 44, did not comment on the claims when they were first reported by Page Six. The former couple, who married in 2014, share four children — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm — and finalized their divorce in 2021 after a contentious separation marked by West’s frequent social media criticism of Kardashian’s parenting.

The resurfaced posts gained renewed attention after Hulu released a trailer for the upcoming season of The Kardashians. In the clip, Kardashian breaks down emotionally, alleging that “someone extremely close” to her attempted to have her killed. “I am terrified out of my mind,” she said, while revealing she learned of the alleged threat through her investigators. Although Kardashian did not name the individual, she indicated that the situation was eventually resolved, adding in a confessional, “I’m happy it’s over.”

Kardashian has previously faced security threats, including filing a restraining order in 2024 against alleged stalker Melvin Jeffery Conley, according to TMZ. The new season will also revisit her traumatic 2016 Paris robbery.
