When Kim Kardashian West was given a $1 million sponsored post with a clothing business, she wаnted to know what her husband Kanye West thought before accepting the offer.

“It’s great money, but the brand was typically knockoff Yeezy, so I said let me ask Kanye how he feels about it,” Kardashian West, 37, says Ashley Graham on her Pretty Big Deal podcast’s first episode.

West, 41, advised his wife to decline, and she did so. To compensate for the missed business opportunity, the Yeezy designer delivered Kardashian West a $1 million cheque two weeks later for Mother’s Day.

“He happened to be recording out of town and I got an envelope delivered to the door. I open the envelope and it is a million dollar check and a note saying, ‘Thank you for always supporting me and not posting,’” Kardashian West says.

She adds, “My mom was like, ‘Are you going to cash this?’ And I was like, ‘You better believe I am going to cash this!’ I have no shame. I did feel bad, but two days later, I was like, cashed!”

But that wasn’t the only big gift West gave the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star for Mother’s Day this year. The fashion designer and rapper also granted her an ownership percentage of his Yeezy brand.

“In the rest of the envelope, it was a full, thick contract to be an owner of Yeezy to have my percentage,” Kardashian West says. 

During her hour-long interview with Graham, Kardashian West also opened up about how she became a fashion icon — and what it was like for her before big-time designers were vying to dress her.

“Nobody would dress me,” Kardashian West admitted. “It was like nobody. I remember Kanye taking me to Paris and bringing me into an atelier and seeing all this stuff and I was just so quiet and so nervous and so nervous to sit at a fashion show.”

She credits former Givenchy creative director and current Burberry chief creative officer Riccardo Tisci for taking a chance on her. “Riccardo was a big person in my life in fashion. He was the first person to dress me for the Met. He was the first person to dress me to do a shoot with me. He designed my wedding dress. He was the first person to really believe in me. And I am always grateful for him,” she says.

But even then, the star still felt like high-fashion designers struggled to dress for her curves.

“I think people at first dressing me were like, ‘Woah,’” Kardashian West says. “Like, we don’t know what to do with this. We don’t know how to dress…literally, they didn’t know what to do.”

She adds, “I will sаy probably my best-fitting dress in the world was my Versace dress last year at the Met. The fit I have never fit anything like that.”
