Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS Hit With Lawsuit Over Alleged Use Of Spyware

January 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kim Kardashian has built a truly impressive empire as it pertains to her SKIMS brand. Overall, SKIMS has come through with a ton of amazing products over the years. From shapewear to new garments for men, the brand continues to expand. In the Fall, they even announced a brand-new partnership with the NBA. Although some fans expressed skepticism, others acknowledged that this was huge and would lead to more sales amongst men. Now, the brand is estimated to be worth over $4 billion.

However, it seems as though SKIMS is facing some major scrutiny right now. Overall, this is due to the fact that the brand is being sued by a former consumer, according to AllHipHop and The Blast. Essentially, the customer is claiming that SKIMS used spyware on her after she visited the website. Spyware can be used to “trap and trace” your digital footprint. The “consumer privacy advocate who works as a tester” is saying the website is using spyware to then profit off of its customers’ online activity.

Additionally, the woman claims that this has “inflicted both an economic injury and an intangible injury.” So far, SKIMS has not responded to the lawsuit in terms of a public statement. Furthermore, it should be noted that Kim herself is not named in the lawsuit. Instead, the plaintiff is focusing all of her attention on the company itself. It remains to be seen how far the lawsuit will go, and what the woman is looking for in terms of damages.

Let us know what you think of this lawsuit and the allegations at hand, in the comments section down below.

Kim Kardashian Faces Greenpeace Backlash Over Latest SKIMS Promo

November 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kim Kardashian is facing backlash from Greenpeace UK after referencing climate change in the latest promotional video for her SKIMS brand. While promoting the brand’s nipple bra, she joked that the item will be more helpful as the planet’s climate warms.

“Using melting glaciers and rising sea levels as a punchline to improve your profit margins makes a mockery of an issue that is devastating millions of people’s lives,” Greenpeace wrote in response on Instagram. “We desperately need global icons like Kim to champion the fight against climate change. Sadly, this isn’t what’s happening here. Kim’s new advert perpetuates the harmful profit-driven system accelerating the climate crisis, and diverts attention away from more impactful actions, like the UN Global Plastics Treaty, which offer a real chance for systemic change.”

As for the SKIMS video, Kim said: “The Earth’s temperature is getting hotter and hotter. The sea levels are rising. The ice sheets are shrinking. I’m not a scientist, but I do believe everyone can use their skill set to do their part. That’s why I’m introducing a brand new bra with a built in nipple, so no matter how hot it is, you’ll always look cold.”

It’s not the first time Kardashian has faced backlash regarding the environment. Activists previously complained about the frequency by which she travels via private jet. In response, Kardashian defended herself during a discussion with Interview Magazine. “I believe in climate change, and I believe that anything can help,” she said. “But I also believe in being realistic and I think sometimes there’s so much to worry about on this planet, and it can be really scary to live your life with anxiety.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Kim Kardashian on HotNewHipHop.

Kim Kardashian Looks Unrecognizable In Retro SKIMS Ad, Shares BTS Photos From Balenciaga Shoot

November 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kim Kardashian had fans doing a double-take in recently released adverts for SKIMS’ holiday line. The retro-inspired campaign sees Kardashian with noticeably bronzed skin and considerably lighter hair. She appears on the faux-magazine covers in a number of 60s-inspired outfits, including a daring furry halter top and g-string combination. The entire shoot screams vintage Playboy, but fans, who mostly approved of the look, were also taken aback at just how major the transformation to Kardashian was.

Meanwhile, staying with the fashion theme, Kardashian also gave her fans an exclusive look at the fitting of her Balenciaga gown for a recent shoot. The gown, which Kardashian wore to the LACMA Art + Festival last week, is a tight-fit hot pink wraparound number with extensive train. On Instagram, Kardashian shared a number of images from her Paris fitting. Namely, these images show Kardashian floating through ornate Parisian drawing rooms with the dress artfully falling off her.

Furthermore, in the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim gave a crucial update on her dating intentions. Across the episode, Kim reiterated her desire to remain single for at least two years, noting that she was about halfway through that goal after breaking up with Pete Davidson. “I’ve got a year to go. I think that will be really good for me. [I’m] not looking, they seem to find me, but I’m not looking!” Kim declared.

Elsewhere, Kim also revealed a secret tattoo that she has kept hidden from everyone but her family. Kim pulled down her lower lip to reveal a small infinity symbol. According to Kim, she got the tattoo during an impromptu 4:30AM inking session after hosting SNL for the first time. Furthermore, the tattoo goes against Kim’s famous opposition to tattoos, at least for herself. “You wouldn’t put a bumper sticker on a Bentley,” the SKIMS founder once famously declared.

Kim Kardashian Eyes Remaining SIngle for Another Year

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kim Kardashian is not looking for a new relationship. In the most recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim K revealed that she wants to remain single for another year.

Speaking with celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, Kardashian revealed that she goes “back and forth” about the possibility of another wedding. After being reminded she would like two years of being single, she agreed that the timeline was accurate.

“So I’ve got a year to go,” Kardashian said. “I think that will be really good for me. Not looking, they seem to find me, but I’m not looking.”

Kim Kardashian is keeping busy with work. In a groundbreaking collaboration, the National Basketball Association (NBA) and SKIMS have announced a multiyear partnership designating SKIMS as the official underwear partner for the NBA, Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA), and USA Basketball.

“I am incredibly proud of SKIMS partnership with the NBA, as it is a reflection of SKIMS growing influence on culture,” said Kim Kardashian, Co-Founder & Creative Director, SKIMS. “Together, SKIMS and the NBA will connect people of all backgrounds through fashion, sport, and talent, and I look forward to seeing the partnership thrive.”

“The NBA’s modern approach and significant impact on pop culture, entertainment, and fashion is unparalleled in sports,” said Jens Grede, Co-Founder & CEO, SKIMS. “Our partnership marks a remarkable opportunity for SKIMS and the NBA to work together on what it means to engage the next-generation of fans through basketball.”

“SKIMS has quickly become one of our most culturally-influential brands,” said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. “We look forward to bringing NBA fans and SKIMS users unique experiences, new offerings and premium products through our partnership.”

The collaboration between SKIMS and the NBA, WNBA, and USA Basketball will enhance basketball’s power to generate excitement and demand, with appearances at future marquee events like NBA All-Star and the NBA In-Season Tournament. SKIMS Mens, which recently launched, will play a significant role in this partnership, offering three collections of everyday essentials designed with comfort as a priority.

As part of the partnership, SKIMS will receive media exposure across various league platforms, including on-court virtual signage during NBA and WNBA national broadcasts, as well as on the leagues’ official social and digital channels.

Patrick Mahomes Becomes Newest Model For SKIMS

November 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Patrick Mahomes, along with his wife and two children, has become the latest athlete to post for SKIMS, Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand. The whole Mahomes family dressed up in classic plaid flannel to promote the brand’s impending holiday shop. Last year, Snoop and his family promoted the brand for the holiday season. However, Kardashian stuck with the athletics theme given the recent launch of a SKIMS menswear line. Previously, Niners defensive star Nick Bosa was one of the initial models for SKIMS’ menswear line.

Mahomes expressed his excitement at the campaign. “This is our first campaign as a family, and shooting for SKIMS all together was an awesome moment,” he told TMZ of their involvement. Mahomes is currently on a bye week after leading the Chiefs to victory over the Dolphins in Germany last weekend. The team is next in action against the Eagles in a Monday Night Football clash on November 20.

Adam Silver Promotes SKIMS

However, Mahomes isn’t the only person repping the brand as of late. Adam Silver proudly promoted SKIMS after the brand recently struck a deal with the NBA and WNBA. “Although I’m not going to show you, I’m wearing them right now. I strongly recommend them to everyone,” Silver told TMZ during a street interview earlier this week. “When guys are more comfortable, makes them play better. So yes, gonna have a direct impact on the game,” Silver added.

SKIMS recently landed a multiyear deal with both the NBA and WNBA in the wake of the launch of its men’s brand, which featured Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as one of the launch models. The shapewear brand will be promoted at “marquee league events” and national television broadcasts will carry “virtual on-court signage” for the brand as well. “Skims has quickly become one of our most culturally influential brands. We look forward to bringing NBA fans and Skims users unique experiences, new offerings and premium products through our partnership,” Silver said in a press statement.

Kim Kardashian Gets Cheeky In Pink Gown And Chic In Black Dress Over The Weekend

November 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kim Kardashian had two different events on opposite sides of the country recently. She managed to not only make it to both of them, but absolutely slay both of them in the process. The first came in Los Angeles where she was in attendance at the LACMA Art & Film Gala. She absolutely nailed the event with an eye-popping pink Balenciaga dress and contrasting black gloves.

It wasn’t until after the event that fans got another look at the fit though. Some behind-the-scenes pictures of Kardashian at the event made it to social media. While some show her relaxing on her phone there was one in particular that fans latched onto. In the picture she’s in the bathroom after the event with her dress zipped all the way down. It’s far from the first time fans have gotten a peek at Kim’s butt, though it tends to make headline news every time. Check out the snapshots below.

Kim Kardashian’s second event in just a few days was the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York. For this event she went with a similarly stunning black Chrome Hearts gown. The dress is duster with gothic textures and Kardashian chose to leave the back open in order to show off her legs.

Kim Kardashian’s shapewear company SKIMS has been busy recently. Last week they teamed up with Swarovski for some uniquely shiny shapewear pieces. She also broke the internet once again with the company’s Faux Nipple bra. The bra was seen as a joke by many when it was first announced but it turned out to be an entirely real effort to combat climate change. She followed it up the very next day with the announcement that SKIMS had become the official shapewear brand of the NBA. What do you think of the new behind-the-scenes pictures of Kim Kardashian? Which of the two dresses do you like more? Let us know in the comment section below.

Adam Silver Promotes SKIMS After NBA & WNBA Deal

November 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Adam Silver proudly promotes SKIMS, the shapewear company founded by Kim Kardashian, after the brand recently struck a deal with the NBA and WNBA. “Although I’m not going to show you, I’m wearing them right now. I strongly recommend them to everyone,” Silver told TMZ during a street interview earlier this week. “When guys are more comfortable, makes them play better. So yes, gonna have a direct impact on the game,” Silver added.

Charles Barkley Presses Adam Silver On Domestic Violence

However, it’s not all been brand promotion for Silver. Charles Barkley used Silver’s appearance on Inside The NBA to confront the league executive about the sharp rise in domestic violence incidents involving NBA players. Silver appeared completely caught off guard by the question. Eventually, he stammered his way through an answer that essentially boiled to “We tell the players that violence is bad”. However, while Silver said that the “consequences are enormous” for the players, the opposite rings true in practice.

The league only suspended repeat offender Miles Bridges for 10 games. Furthermore, they argued that he served 20 games of the original 30-game suspension by being a free agent last season. Meanwhile, Bridges was arrested in recent weeks for violating his protective order against his original victim. Meanwhile, the NBA has said nothing other than the league being “aware of the situation” when it comes to the Kevin Porter Jr. situation. Of course, Silver is never going to say anything revolutionary when it comes to domestic violence. However, it’s far from the answer that Barkley’s question warranted.

Cam’ron Clowns Mase For Wearing SKIMS: “Every Time I Say Something, I’m Bullying”

November 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cam’ron and Mase’s sports talk show It Is What It Is goes beyond athletics into pretty much every topic under the sun. As two seasoned MCs, they have a lot to say about the rap game, and as seasoned celebrities, they have a lot of unique perspectives on pop culture. One of these takes came concerning Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS clothing brand, which recently became an official partner of the NBA. In fact, Killa Cam couldn’t help but squint at his co-host when he revealed that he tried on a piece from the brand when he heard this news. The “Mo’ Money Mo’ Problems” spitter actually enjoyed how it fit, and the Dipset leader had to hold his tongue.

“I’m not gon’ lie,” Mase began his remarks on the shape-wear brand, which caused Cam’ron to prepare for some unfortunate roasts. “When I put the SKIMS tank top on, my ribs stopped hurting. So shoutout to SKIMS. I wouldn’t wear it, wear it but somebody sent it to me and I wanted to see. It wasn’t the one-piece, it was just the tank top.”

Cam’ron & Mase’s It Is What It Is‘ Latest Episode: Watch

The SKIMS discussion starts around the 51-minute mark.

“I’m not gon’ say nothing because every time I say something, I’m bullying,” Cam’ron responded. “I’m Cam ‘Take It Too Far.’ I make somebody’s blog, I make somebody’s morning show. Myself, I’m not gonna talk about SKIMS three times in one week. If SKIMS helps your ribs out, fine. I talk about SKIMS then I talk about Kim Kardashian, then n***as go, ‘Oh, Cam went too far that week.’ F**k it, let’s do it. They pushing an agenda in the NBA, man. There’s agendas being pushed. They see what’s going on with Taylor Swift in the NFL, who could we get here?

“Now we got Kim and Taylor in the top two sports in America,” he went on. “And it’s a Kim Kardashian situation in the NBA and a Taylor Swift situation in the NFL. Do you know that the Kansas City Chiefs- and maybe we’ll talk about this on Sunday or Monday when we come back next week. But I want to bring this stat up. When Taylor Swift is in attendance, the Chiefs are 4-0 and Travis Kelce is averaging 108 yards per game. When she’s not there, they’re 2-2 and he’s averaging 50 yards per game.” For more news and the latest updates on Cam’ron, Mase, and SKIMS, keep checking in with HNHH.

Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS Partners With Swarovski For Exclusive, Shiny Collection

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS brand continues to grow, expand, and establish itself as a leading voice in fashion. Moreover, the company’s latest collab is with none other than Swarovski, melding together their shape-wear with the jewels that their partner is so well-known for. If you’re interested in copping a piece or two, it goes live on November 7 at 9AM EST on the SKIMS website and in select Swarovski stores. In an Instagram post, the reality TV star and socialite shared some words on this latest venture. “a first of its kind collaboration that fuses @Swarovski’s iconic glamour with @SKIMS innovative silhouettes, resulting in a unique crystallized collection,” she wrote.

Furthermore, this comes just days after SKIMS’ announced partnership with the NBA, which is not the end of Kim Kardashian’s fashion empire. In fact, she recently expressed a desire to also assume ownership of her ex-husband Kanye West’s Yeezy brand one day. But that’s irrelevant right now; what matters is that the 43-year-old is very proud of this particular Swarovski collab. “I feel like it really embodies who I am, in being really simplistic, but then I have this full glitzy feminine side,” she told The New York Times about the team-up.

Of course, that aforementioned gossip about Kim Kardashian’s family and relationship life tends to unfairly overshadow these business moves, at least when it comes to news headlines. While that’s an understandable phenomenon, it’s also a great way to market brand moves these days. For example, this Swarovski collaboration comes amid comments about Ye’s humble lifestyle that premiered on The Kardashian‘s recently. Well, humble in the comparative sense, because we all know there’s no way that word could ever describe the Chicago rapper accurately.

Regardless of all that, it’s very clear that SKIMS is by no means suffering as a result. After all, it’s all tied to Kim’s name at the end of the day, and that alone is bound to nab some attention. It helps that the clothing brand is emerging with its own shadow outside of that, something that the money proves is much larger than any one person.

North West Wants SKIMS & Yeezy To Be Hers In The Future, Reveals Another Iconic Halloween Look

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Of Kimye’s four children, North West is the one whom the public has gotten to know the best since she arrived in 2013. Obviously, because she’s the oldest, but also due to the tween’s highly creative and expressive nature. We’ve seen her supporting both Kim Kardashian and Ye in their pursuits in the past, and now that she’s 10, her family felt it was finally time for Northie to make her magazine debut. On Tuesday (October 31) photos from her interview with i-D Magazine hit the net, proving that the TikToker is every bit as iconic as each of her parents.

When the outlet asked West about her plans for the future, she made it clear that she wants a hand in both her mom’s shapewear brand and her father’s sneaker/clothing company. “A basketball player, a rapper, um… Well, when I was seven, I wanted to be a boxer. But now I don’t want to be a boxer. I’m going to do art on the side,” the growing girl told the outlet of her many aspirations. “When I’m, like, thirteen, I want to walk dogs, to make money to buy art supplies, because everything around here is so expensive,” North hilariously added.

In conclusion, the California native declared, “So a rapper, a basketball player, and I’m going to make artwork that I sell. Also, one day I want to own Yeezy and SKIMS, and I want to be a business owner.” Seeing as she’s arguably one of the best-set-up nepo babies in Hollywood, we wouldn’t be surprised to see her accomplish all of that and even more.

Not only is today North’s major magazine debut, but it also marks another year of Halloween celebrations for her. Earlier this morning, a video of her and cousin Penelope Disick dressed as The Cheetah Girls hit the internet. Interestingly, their uncle, Rob Kardashian, formerly dated one of the Disney film’s lead starlets, Adrienne Bailon.
