It’s no surprise that amidst the world trying to make 2021 a much better year than 2020, six days into the new year the Capitol Building was seized. In the days afterward, it was reported that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting divorced, and rumors that Kanye West had romantic relations with YouTuber beauty guru Jeffree Star followed.
Apparently, Kim and Kanye’s marriage had been spiraling downward over the span of recent months and they have reportedly already started seeing other people. Speculations for Kim’s new man all point to political figure Van Jones, while Twitter is convinced that Kanye’s new love interest is Jeffree Star.
The rumors began when TikTok influencer Ava Louise posted a video claiming that since the divorce between Kim and Kanye had been announced, she could finally “spill the tea.” Louise stated that Kanye had been “hooking up” with a famous male beauty guru. Louise also promised that “her source was legit.” Hours after posting this video, Louise told her TikTok followers that Kim Kardashian allegedly slapped her with a lawsuit.
While the rumor is very shocking and seems way out of the blue, fans pointed out that geographically it makes sense. Kanye has been living out of his and Kim’s Wyoming ranch for much of 2020. Jeffree also moved to his mansion in Wyoming part-time back in August, though some of that time was spent with his ex, Andre Marhold. Before relocating to Wyoming, Kanye and Jeffree both lived in Hidden Hills, an exclusive gated community next to Calabasas, California.
In response to the rumors, Jeffree tweeted and posted on Instagram, “I’m ready for Sunday Service.” Sunday Service is also the name of the famous church service created and run by Kanye West. Jeffree also played into the rumors by tweeting that “e-detectives” had been studying a picture that the guru tweeted out in late December. In the picture, Jeffree is wearing sunglasses and a few figures can be seen in Jeffree’s glasses. According to the “e-detectives,” one of the figures is Kanye West. When drama YouTuber Dustin Dailey reached out to Jeffree for a comment about the rumors, Jeffree told Dailey that the rumors were not true.
Louise later told Insider magazine that there was no “concrete evidence” that Jeffree and Kanye had relations as she previously claimed. However, Louise has also made the claim that Kanye had an entanglement with a lesser-known beauty guru, Cole Carrigan, who is friends with Ava.
Jeffree Star also released a YouTube video on Jan. 7th debunking the rumors that he was hooking up with Kanye West. In the video, Jeffree says, “I’m single, I’m not sleeping with anyone.” Jeffree also said in his video that this rumor is the “dumbest [s***] he’s ever read in his entire life.” Jeffree went on to say, “Me and Kanye have never hung out and this whole thing is really funny.”
While 2020 was a terrible and tragic year for many, the few days that have existed in 2021 have been filled with some interesting things—not even including the Capitol Building insurrection.
