Kim Kardashian reveals Kanye West paid her $1 million not to model a rival fashion brand
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Kim Kardashian revealed her husband, Kanye West, once paid her $1 million not to model for a rival fashion brand.
The “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star is often paid hefty sums of money to wear brands’ clothes and model them on her highly popular social media accounts. Speaking at the New York Times DealBook Conference earlier this week, Kardashian revealed that she rejected a brand that was offering $1 million at the behest of her third husband.

So there was a fast-fashion brand, a few of them, and they would knock off Yeezy all the time, his color palette, designs,” she explained. “So this fast-fashion brand offered me a million dollars for an Instagram post and I thought, ‘OK, well that’s easy’ — just to wear clothes that I could pick, anything that I wanted, it’s a quick post — and when I told [Kanye] about it, he asked me not to do it and said out of respect, I don’t think that we should be giving them everything, they copy everything.”

She continued: “I completely understood why he said no. I gladly said no. And then for Mother’s Day, he handed me an envelope and it was a check for a million dollars saying ‘thank you for not posting for the other brand.’ And then — I don’t know if I’m supposed to say this or if I have — and a contract to be an owner in Yeezy as a thank you.”
The star concluded that the story demonstrates the “power in saying 'no' sometimes.”

"And then looking at my wife like, 'Oh, my girl needs to be just like these other girls, showing her body off, showing this, showing that...' I didn't realize that that was affecting my soul and my spirit as someone that's married and loved, the father of what's about to be four kids," he said at the time. "A corset is a form of underwear. It's hot. It's like, it's hot for who, though?"
