According to reports, Kim Kardashian paid tribute to her ex-husband on New Year’s Day via Instagram. The reality star, a mother of four, shared a throwback post from 2012 in her Instagram Story. The caption cited Kanye West‘s lyrics, reading, “Sunglasses & Advil…last night was mad trill,” accompanied by an image of just that: sunglasses and Advil. Kim was referencing “No Church in the Wild,” a standout track from the 2011 collaboration with Jay-Z on Watch the Throne.
In the second verse, Ye delivers his bars with trademark intensity: “Sunglasses and Advil / Last night was mad real / Sun coming up, 5 a.m. / I wonder if they got cabs still.”
Family-Focused New Year Celebration
Kim rang in the New Year by sharing a collection of family snapshots on Instagram, featuring her kids North, Chicago, Saint, and Psalm, as well as Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian and her son Mason, and Khloé’s son Tatum. Notably absent from the photos was Ye.
Kim on Parenting Challenges
In mid-November, Kim opened up about her struggles with parenting and Ye’s absence in their children’s lives. “It’s not something that I talk about a lot because I feel like there is always a lot of judgment or people always will jump to the, ‘Oh, but you have the resources to have nannies and to have help,’” she said. “And I just think that no matter what kind of help I have, basically raising four kids by myself.”
Context of the Tribute
The subtle nod to Kanye’s work comes at a time when their co-parenting relationship remains under public scrutiny. The Instagram story highlights the layered relationship between the former couple, showcasing moments of reflection alongside Kim’s focus on family and moving forward.
