Kim Kardashian Talks Single Motherhood: ‘There Are Nights I Cry Myself To Sleep’

kim

Kim Kardashian  appeared on an upcoming episode of the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast and in a clip shared with People, she discusses how becoming a single parent has changed her life. The serial entrepreneur shares four children with her ex-husband Kanye West, nine-year-old North, seven-year-old Saint, five-year-old Chicago, and four-year-old Psalm. 

“Everyone says the days are long and the years are short, and that couldn’t be like a more true statement,” Kardashian says about parenting. “So, like, when you’re in it, I mean, especially when they’re babies and you’re feeding … there’s madness going on. It’s like full madness. It’s the best chaos though.”

She added, “It’s like I always have to do one of my daughter’s hair — and it has to be perfect and it has to be a certain way — and then this one needs me to put his shoes on and they all need you. It’s like full crazy madness, cooking, running around. Like, it’s wild.”

The Kardashians’ star admitted that “parenting is the thing that has taught me the most about myself.”

She explained,“It has been the most challenging thing. There are nights I cry myself to sleep. Like, holy shit, this f—ing tornado in my house. Like, what just happened?”

Kardashian also shared that the kids have “moods” and “personalities” or “sometimes they’re fighting” and resolution is left entirely to her.

“Like, it’s [just] me to play good police officer and bad cop,” she said. “Parenting is really f—ing hard….That’s the only way I can describe it. It is the most rewarding job in the entire world. It is. There is nothing that can prepare you. I don’t care how long you wait. I don’t care what you’re waiting for. You are never prepared.”

“I mean, there’s nights when you don’t wash your hair for days as a mom and you have spit up all over you and you’re wearing the same pajamas, especially in COVID,” Kardashian said. “It was insane, you know?”

But parenting is still “the most challenging, rewarding job on this planet,” according to the beauty mogul.

[LISTEN] Beyoncé And Kendrick Lamar Drop Surprise ‘America Has A Problem’ Remix

bey

Beyoncé just released a remix of her ‘Renaissance’ track ‘America Has a Problem’ featuring a new verse from the one and only Kendrick Lamar.
The new version opens with a breakneck verse from Lamar in which he says he is an “honorary Beyhive” member and references artificial intelligence. “Hold up, wait a minute / Even AI gotta practice cloning Kendrick,” Lamar raps during his verse. “The double entendre, the encore remnants / I bop like tin men, the opps need ten men.
”It’s not the first time Beyoncé and Lamar have collaborated on a song together. Lamar featured on Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’ track ‘Freedom’ in 2016. In 2019, he appeared on ‘NILE’, a track from Beyoncé’s The Lion King soundtrack album ‘The Gift’.

The single’s cover art features the American flag made up in what appear to be red, white and blue bullets. Listen to the ‘America Has a Problem’ remix below:

The suit accused Rich the Kid of having “violently grabbed Doe and removed her coat to prevent her from leaving the hotel.” She said the rapper committed battery against her.

Doe said she eventually left over his objection. However, he allegedly followed her out of the hotel and jumped into her Uber.

She allowed him to remain in the Uber which took them to her place. Doe attached a screenshot of Rich the Kid outside her home on the Ring camera.

Doe said she had sexual relations with Rich the Kid at her home. Doe said they had unprotected sexual relations. “As a result of the sexual contact, Doe became pregnant” in January 2023, the suit claimed.

[WATCH] Rapper Sauce Walka Announces He Won’t Date Black Women: ‘White Women Understand Teamwork’

Rapper Sauce Walka is back talking to anyone that will listen and once again he’s reiterating that he doesn’t like black women. In a new interview, the Houston rapper shares that his preference is to date White women vs. Black women. “They are more open to it being a business relationship & accepts my lifestyle of having multiple women. Black women aren’t open to teamwork and not being the only woman.”

sauce

He’s often on the internet showcasing white women lotioning his body or participating in his OnlyFans movement. Sauce is known for his views on black women and has stated in the past, “I’m rich for real, I got White b***hes who wash my dishes and clean my clothes, and dry my body off when I get out the shower.” Every interview he expresses his disdain for black women who won’t get in line with his views and denounce them for ‘foreign women’ which he prefers.

When asked if he would ever date a black woman, Sauce honestly replies, “I love black women and would f**k a Black b***h, but no I wouldn’t date them.” While he has nothing against black women, Sauce says his preference to only date white girls is a “good business decision,” because he catches everyone’s attention with their relationship.

As to why he won’t do business with black women, Sauce, whose real name is Albert Walker Mondane, reasons that black people don’t value teamwork.Watch below, thoughts?

Brian’s ex writes:  

MY SONS, PRETEENS AT THIS POINT, WERE UNAWARE OF THE THREATS TAT D STARTED TO RECEVE FROM THE WOMAN WHO WERE INVOLVED WITH THEIR FATHER. I WAS BEING HARASSED THROUGH EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS. AT ONE POINT I WAS EVEN BEING FOLLOWED. THE FINAL STRAW CAME WHEN ONE OF HIS ACQUAINTANCES LEFT A VOICEMAIL NAMING MY SON’S SCHOOL, THE GYM WHERE MY OLDEST PLAYED BASKETBALL AND EVEN THE SKATEPARK WHERE MY YOUNGEST PRACTICED. THAT SEALED MY DECISION. THE THOUGHT OF SOMEONE HARMING MY CHILDREN WAS ENOUGH TO SEND ME INTO A BLIND RAGE. I DIDN’T FEEL SAFE WITH THEM VISITING HIS HOME FOR FEAR THAT ONE OF THESE WOMEN WOULD SHOW UP. EVEN WORSE, BE INVITED AND HAVE ACCESS TO MY SONS. SO, I MADE THE DECISION TO MOVE WITH THE BEST INTERESTS OF MY SONS AND MYSELF IN MIND. OF COURSE THERE WERE THOSE WHO ACCUSED ME OF TAKING THE KIDS AWAY FROM THEIR FATHER. THIS WAS THE FURTHEST THING FROM THE TRUTH. THE TIME THAT ME SPENT WITH HIS ACQUAINTANCES AND THEIR CHILDREN WAS HIS DECISION. IF ANYTHING, I ENCOURAGED HIM TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HIS FAMILY. AT THE END OF THE DAY OTHER PEOPLE’S OPINIONS DIDN’T MATTER THEY WERE NOT LIVING MY LIFE

[WATCH] Gabrielle Union Reveals She Splits Bills 50/50 With Hubby Dwyane Wade Despite Financial Anxiety

gabby

During a recent interview with Bloomberg, actress/activist Gabrielle Union revealed she splits the bills with her athlete husband and opened up about her anxiety about her finances. Despite being a multimillionaire and married to one of the top athletes, the  actress says she still worries the “rug can be pulled from under her.”

She was asked, “When did she first develop her first sense of [financial] security,” after working so many jobs. “I still struggle with that,” she responded.
“I have more responsibilities for my money,” she continued. “I get nervous if a movie doesn’t open, am I gonna have enough to hold everyone up?” Something she says helps with that is her and her hubby Dwyane Wade’s decision to split everything 50/50.

Gabrielle says she’s responsible for so many people that if she doesn’t work, “somebody ain’t gone eat.”Gabrielle Union opened up about the anxiety she gets when it comes to her finances.

[WATCH] Hip Hop’s New Royal Family: Rihanna and ASAP Rocky Celebrate Son RZA’s Birthday In Wu-Tang Fashion

Screen Shot 2023 05 15 at 9.57.06 AM

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky’s son might be our new royal hip hop couple. The dynamic duo named their first son RZA Athelston Mayers. Their baby turned one on May 13, and his parents celebrated him in true Wu-tang fashion.

ASAP posted a series of photos and videos on Instagram, showing off his adorable family, with the caption, “‘WU TANG IZ 4 DA CHUREN’ HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO MY 1st BORN . RZA”

Just a few days ago, the baby’s name was revealed, and it emerged that he had been named after Wu-Tang Clan member RZA (AKA Robert Fitzgerald Diggs).

The “WU TANG IZ 4 DA CHUREN” portion of the proud dad’s caption is a reference to another Wu-Tang Clan member, Ol Dirty Bastard’s, famous words at the Grammys in 1998, when he took over the stage to protest Wu-Tang’s unexpected loss on the night.

Rihanna, 35, and her partner A$AP Rocky, 34, welcomed their baby into the world on May 13 last year, after starting dating in 2020.

In new social media footage, the little boy could be seen giggling away while sitting in front of an enormous, cash-shaped cake. Mom was donned in the late rapper Ol Dirty Bastard’s signature braids and jacket.

The cool cake was made to look like wads of $100 bills.

Two-time NBA champion LeBron James once gave his mom a Porsche for her birthday. However, his essay about his mom for The Shriver Report, a nonprofit media project helmed by NBC News correspondent Maria Shriver, might be considered one of the most touching gifts a mother could ask for. The first-person piece featured James writing about “trying to help single mothers who are struggling to make a living and raise their kids, because that perfectly describes my mother when I was growing up.”

R&B and pop star Rihanna surprised her mother, Monica, by giving her a five-bedroom house in Barbados during a 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey. “’I wanted to do this for you for a very long time,” the singer said.
