On his latest album, Kanye West samples a clip of his estranged wife praising him amid their messy divorce — and Vice President Kamala Harris makes an appearance, too.
West on Tuesday night held a listening party in Miami for his new album Donda 2. The event streamed on YouTube, though the full album hasn't yet been officially released, and it will reportedly only be available on a $200 device. At the listening party, West's song "Sci-Fi" opened with a clip from Kardashian's October monologue on Saturday Night Live, in which she says she "married the best rapper of all time" and calls West "a talented, legit genius who gave me four incredible kids." He did not, however, include Kardashian's quip that "when I divorced him, you have to know it came down to just one thing: his personality."
