College Dropout was the debut album from rapper Kanye which featured 21 songs and helped his rise to fame.
Kim, 43, posted a photo via her Instagram Story on Friday with Bobby Naugle, who designed merch for Kanye in 2003.
She captioned the post and explained: “[he] Reached out to me in 2022 because he wanted to gift North some of the original merch that he helped to produce.
“He asked for nothing in return.”
Kim went on to explain how Bobby had been approached by collectors to take on his merch, but he decided to gift the items to Kanye’s other 3 children.
She concluded: “I would like to publicly thank Bobby for his kindness and generosity (it’s very rare in this industry), when he could’ve easily made a lot of money from selling off these items instead.”
The Hulu star then posted two photos of rare Kanye West merch worn by the star in his early career.
The first was of a black shirt with a red Kanye logo on.
Next to it showed a snap of Kanye, 46, performing wearing the shirt displayed.
The other story was of Kanye’s iconic pink Ralph Lauren polo shirt which became associated with the star after he wore them often.
It is believed that the presents will go to Kanye’s kids, North, 10, Saint, eight, Chicago, five, and Psalm, four.
Kim and Kanye officially divorced in March 2022 and the hitmaker remarried Bianca Censori in December of the same year.
CAREER LOWS
Kanye was recently called out for his behavior in his early career after supposedly psychologically putting down Taylor Swift.
The controversial rapper wrote vulgar lyrics about the pop star in his song Famous which she claimed to deny approval of before the release.
Taylor, 33, slammed Kim for “taking her down psychologically” and “forcing her into hiding” for a year during their long-running dispute.
The singer – who was named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year – opened up about the altercation in an interview with the publication.
She claimed that the public fallout felt like “a career death,” saying: “Make no mistake — my career was taken away from me.”
Taylor explained: “You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar.
OLD WOUNDS
“That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls.”
She continued: “I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard.”
Taylor’s next 2017 album Reputation was said to be largely focused on her experience with the incident.
The songwriter’s choice to use snake imagery in the album was claimed to be a veiled reference to Kim, which reignited the war between the celebrities and their fandoms.
“I thought that moment of backlash was going to define me negatively for the rest of my life,” she noted.
