Kanye West recently made explosive accusations against Kris Jenner, claiming that she’s been manipulating her daughters, Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, for years by setting up strategic relationships with powerful men in the entertainment industry.

Kanye alleges that Kris orchestrated these connections with influential figures like Diddy, Drake, and Travis Scott to boost the Kardashian-Jenner family brand and maintain control in Hollywood. According to Kanye, Kris’s influence extended beyond matchmaking, potentially manipulating major relationships to keep the Kardashians in the headlines and secure lasting fame and financial benefits.

Kanye’s allegations come after years of speculation that Kris plays a controlling role in her daughters’ personal lives. From Kim’s marriage to Kanye to Kylie’s relationships with rappers Tyga and later Travis Scott, Kanye suggests that none of these high-profile pairings were coincidental. Each relationship seemed to add a new dimension to the family’s public image, aligning them with the hip-hop world and enhancing their cultural cachet.

In his latest outbursts, Kanye not only calls out Kris but also references a broader web of control. He’s expressed frustration over how the Kardashians tried to influence his image and behavior during his marriage to Kim, allegedly intervening in his parenting decisions, media portrayal, and even social interactions.

According to Kanye, Kris used her influence over her daughters’ lives as a power play in the industry, potentially treating relationships as business deals rather than authentic connections.

Furthermore, Kanye highlights possible manipulative tactics Kris employed, not only affecting her daughters but also others in Hollywood. He insinuates that these ties with influential figures in the entertainment world, such as Diddy, help Kris stay connected with power players who can influence public perception.

He even suggests that some actions, like Kim recently unfollowing Diddy on Instagram, may indicate efforts to distance from those under scrutiny.

Adding to the controversy, Kanye ties Kris’s methods to those of her close associates, specifically Lou Taylor and Corey Gamble. Lou Taylor, a business manager connected to Britney Spears, has gained a reputation for controversy, especially given her role in Britney’s conservatorship. According to Britney, Taylor was instrumental in establishing the conservatorship, which allowed Spears’ father to control her finances and career for over a decade.

Britney’s memoir recounts how Taylor pushed for this control, seeing it as a way to gain leverage over her career. Britney’s story has fueled distrust in Taylor, whom some regard as a figure who uses manipulative tactics to assert dominance over celebrities.

Britney’s claims have resonated with other stars, such as Courtney Love, who also accused Taylor of attempting to place her under a conservatorship. Love claims that Taylor tried to seize control of her late husband Kurt Cobain’s legacy and the rights to Nirvana’s music catalog. These accusations paint a picture of Taylor as a powerful, behind-the-scenes operator with a pattern of attempting to control high-profile individuals for profit.

The overlap between Taylor’s actions and Kris’s alleged manipulation of her daughters’ lives raises questions about how far celebrity handlers are willing to go for fame and financial gain. Kanye’s claims add fuel to a long-running public discussion about the Kardashian-Jenner family’s drive for media dominance and the lengths to which Kris, in particular, might go to secure it.

Whether these allegations will lead to any significant repercussions for Kris Jenner and her circle remains to be seen, but Kanye’s revelations have sparked renewed scrutiny of the powerful forces and personalities that shape Hollywood’s celebrity landscape.
