While Kanye West and Kim Kardashian knew that they would be featured in Vogue’s April 2014 issue, the reality TV star reveals that they were just as surprised as everyone else about the cover. During a chat on ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers,’ she offers up some details about the photo shoot.
Usually Kardashian is pretty close to her family, but for this event, she had to keep the information a secret from practically everyone.
So what could this normally open reality TV darling do? Blame Kanye.
“I just said Kanye was shooting something at my mom’s house, and it was really private,” Kardashian admits to Seth Myers Tuesday night (March 25). “And kind of just blamed it on him.”
She also says that she uses the rapper as an excuse more often than not. “Anytime I have to not work with someone, I’m always like Kanye and always blame him,” Kardashian explains.
Surprising details about the shoot were revealed, like the fact that even the editors on the shoot had to disguise themselves in order to avoid the paparazzi. One was even forced to borrow Kanye’s hoodie. They also talked about the family photo inside the Vogue issue, which Kardashian pointed out that during the shoot, her daughter North had a bit of an accident.
“Actually North peed on him at that moment,” she admits. “And he was trying to tell me. And I couldn’t really hear him, and I had to get up clear her off and clean him off.”
Jokes aside, Kardashian shares that this cover was a bunch of firsts for the magazine. “Kanye’s the first rapper to be on, I’m the first reality person to be on, and we’re the first interracial couple,” she states.
Debates about whether or not Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are worthy of the Vogue cover have already exploded, but it proves how the magazine and pop culture is changing.
